tado° V2 old model 2014

So really I use Tado just as a way to open shut radiator valves more than anything else and my Nest and Alexa to turn heating on and off as per our heating schedules. This way I can zone day and night winter and summer using Tado without having to go round each radiator manually.I have the bathroom towel rail on without any Tado thermostat so that if the boiler comes on and other valves are shut one radiator eg can flow in a circuit all the time. You control or fine tune the heating down to the individual radiator and have a radiator valve schedule too. The less you have your thermostat valve changing temps opening closing all the time the more you will save battery. Update 2022**** Use good Duracell batteries not cheapo. My first batteries lasted 2 years. According to my own use I have upstairs and downstairs open or closed depending on time of day so they open or close the valve twice a day depending on day or evening. In summer they are off so as not to whirl around so minimal batt use.So in middle of night if temp drops heating comes on only upstairs rads heat up then during day it's the opposite. I manually adjust sometimes using the app if I use other rooms other times. Can be done manually at the valve too. I've never had to. They have a nice few second lit display when using and this is great eg if you had kids whose over heating use and open windows you want to control as the man woman of the house you can set everything in your phone app and tweak and adjust by app or voice if you have echo Alexa etc other smart controls. By having some valves off or set to low other rads heat up faster so living rooms hallways are always on higher but still turn off at night when just the bedrooms and bathroom are prioritised or on.The valves look good uniform neat tidy smart and are a good size. Easy light finger touch use manually or or via the app. The valves were so easy to install. I took the Tado Radiator Valve and scanned its barcode via the phone app and fitted it to the radiator by filling the in app step by step instructions screwing it on exactly where the old one was. It comes with batteries already fitted and easy to setup. The science then comes via the app which provides the rest of the info eg current temp of each room plus humidity freshness etc. I use the app regularly to monitor the temp in the rooms. The temp is close to radiator but generally precise. You can also adjust any misreading by readjusting temp in the app to fine tune match real temp in room if the valve is a degree or two off.Very quiet. Yes they make a small quiet whirr for a few/two three seconds when adjusting according to your schedule but with the tv on or background noise they are almost impossible to hear. My clocks louder. When you do hear them you’re glad you know they’re working at least and it gives you a sense of Mastery and control. So no noise issues whatsoever.The valve itself joins the App via a scan of the barcode located inside its body which is also very easy to open up and then it just scans into the Tado App instantly using the phones camera. I’d downloaded and registered the app while waiting for the order to arrive in advance a day or so I was ready. You give the valve a name ideally location eg Hallway1 etc and stick the second peel off barcode to a pamphlet book you get in the box to keep track of the setup like a register so when removed in future eg to change batteries you don’t get em mixed up. Simples. One by one all added and ready to go.MAKE SURE to keep one radiator valve in the house fully open eg bathroom probably is the best place so boiler water can circulate in the system via eg the bathroom preventing a lock. Secondly we always prefer the bathroom toasty warm anyway whenever the heatings needed. This translates to - you don't need a Tado rad valve in a bathroom.The rest of the use is up to you according to season and preference. Eg mine are now set to off in warmer seasons so they don’t constantly adjust open and close even when hearing is off saves battery and runs according to a schedule again in autumn winter via the phone app ive also zoned into groups as upstairs and downstairs via Alexa. In summer I override the schedule so they don't come on and off which saves battery for few months. If you don't do this they still adjust opening closing according to your set schedule even if your thermostat and boiler are off eg in summer which is ok but wastes battery for no reason. Then in winter I set them back to schedule on the app.I coordinated my nest thermostat schedule with the Tado valves and occasionally have shouted at Alexa to set the heating on to eg 25 degrees for half an hour or an hour in the middle of night to get a quick heating boost in winter eg when at 3am whilst asleep looking at a phone would be too bright. If I fall asleep and forget my Nest device schedule picks up the next slot temp on the hour and boiler goes back to schedule ie off or back to thermostat schedule temp. 2022 UPDATE - Tado now have a countdown timer too so you can get temporary boosts eg 30 mins on full and then automatically go back to normal scheduled temperature. Basically save yourself moving round the house adjusting valves. Do it by touch on your phone.Use good alkaline batteries that won’t leak and so only need changing every 2nd year or less once the first ones are changed.Let your wall thermostat timers do the main scheduling and coming on off etc as per your usual programme etc that so the radiator valve is mainly really there just to to go on or off for eg for night or light use and regulate the heat level in a room. Mine is a Nest device connected to main boiler and CH. I use that as I can shout to it to come on and off in the house if I'm around and outside of the normal schedule timer. The Tado valves I use just to regulate my priority radiators and zones for night and day use so not all are on at same time unless of course you want them to be. Occasional usage and adjustments yourself via the app is easy eg while watching tv in winter in one room and being able to turn the temp down or off in the one room via the phone app to valve without having to cool off or warm the whole house is a good control fine tuning to have.The next bit - well a million people wanted to know this - yes - it works well with NEST not together as one system but as two so can co exist together. U can use any wall thermostat too but I already prefer Nest doing all the science and intricacies of my heating scheduling and I dont need a second lot. So I use Nest for my heating and configure the Tado rad valves to be open or closed based on night or day and season or a single room if I’m alone. I use Alexa and also IFTTT App to control the valves and my nest too.There’s the initial outlay cost as I bought about 8 of these but in the 21st century we should save energy and money and also the planet. All those things - but really mostly your money. Buy one at a time if it's all you can afford. If you’re heating half the house then you save approximately 50% right minus some of the heat drifting and any boiler inefficiency but be savvy a bit and close the doors or wear a cardigan as well in winter and educate kids what it was like in 70s 80s.I don’t need my heating on 24/7 nor do I need the additional paid for bits like geofencing. I know people have own preferences. I prefer the cool sometimes then a slow gradual heat up so I will never probably subscribe to the add on pay as you go top ups you can buy. Just use your wall thermostat to control or press it on/off when you get home. No big deal.I set 10 degrees temp setting in the app as a way of closing the valve to off and 20 as a way to keep it on and open. This way they’re not going up and down on and off six times a day every hour at random temperatures as when you do actually adjust them yourself if you need to you’ll feel great for having that control of boosting temp or restricting the valve from the seat of your sofa and a feeling of power.Tado could do with adding more functions though eg I want grouping function of valves that way instead of each radiator in my app I tried the AC device but it wasn't compatible with my system so removed it. Tado still has a way to go. For heating Id like just up down back and front zones to group eg say two three rads into one zone instead of loads of individual rads. Also if Tado want to throw any tech to try my way for a detailed review I'm open to offers. Hope the review helps you people and these are a great function and buy. If you're struggling it's because you haven't adjusted to how to use them properly. Take your time. It's not rocket science but it's not caveman either. Like if my review helps you. Thanks and good luck.

I find Tado to be a perfect solution for domestic heating control in the UK. I’ve been a long term user and have recently bought further into the system with the 4 pack of TRV units, a fairly hefty investment but bought easily with the Amazon interest free multi payments.Having started some years back with just the smart thermostat controlling heating, I liked the very flexible timer scheduling and smart geofencing which knew if the house was empty or clever enough to realise I was on my way home from work early and turn on the heating early. Moved to a larger house and went for a couple of room stats which worked perfectly for better control. The extra four added last year have integrated very well and avoid heating areas of the home unnecessarily. The smart features for open window detection are welcome as the hall radiator is near the front door and will allow traffic through to outside without fighting the cold air. Since having this setup we have reduced the standing order for fuel by 25% - a real saving.Should you wish to track the system behaviour all the metadata is easily accessible in a graphical form hour by hour, day by day etc. - useful to setup temperature offsets on the devices and in conjunction with a “real” thermometer you can balance the room temperatures accurately.Other reviewers have mentioned poor temperature measurement due to the position of the valve, but this has the same relevance as a mechanical TRV which is also situated on the valve, in my experience it’s a good compromise. Also mentioned is lack of control when moving away from the schedule - not true, the app will allow full adjustment and override with options until next schedule change, timed or until changed again. Turning the sleeve on the TRV to new temperature will also override schedule. Perfectly flexible. Negative comments regarding poor valve actuation - possibly on older valves this may occur but again a problem for a mechanical TRV also. Our heating system is about 14 years old and has had few problems, apart from one valve stuck in the open position that had to be freed before TRV fitment, an obvious problem easily solved but would be easy to blame the Tado TRV if you were unable to understand the issue.Smart integration should be mentioned and we have control in use with Alexa/echo devices, and Apple HomeKit, all well implemented. Commands are usefully per room such as “Alexa - hall temperature?” returns the current temperature to one decimal place, “hall temperature 21 degrees” sets the temperature to 21 and so forth. IFTTT also integrates allowing interface with other IOT devices. Excellent.The app itself has a good interface and has been completely reliable including wireless connection with the TRVs around the house. Support is good, however by email so not the fastest, the hardware design is typically Teutonic no frills and I personally like the plain and simple uncluttered look of the room thermostat - a relief in my opinion from the glitzy alternative devices - just a matter of personal taste! Battery life for the TRVs I find acceptable and recommend the higher power Alkaline cells, a rechargeable battery pack would be a greener option however.About the only major criticism I could make would be that there is not an alternative colour for the slightly stark looking TRVs, as with some designer radiators a charcoal or satin chrome finish may look classier.

facile à installer et super qualitéJe conseille cette marque

Aufgrund der ganzen schlechten Bewertungen hier hätte ich das Produkt fast nicht gekauft ... zum Glück habe ich es doch getan.Ich hatte vorher ein System von Innogy mit 32 Thermostaten. Ein Horror ... die Thermostate sind klobig und hässlich, verdrecken schnell, die App ist Benutzerunfreundlich und stürzt permanent ab, ob man in seinen Account kommt ist Glückssache, die Zentrale bleibt permanent stehen, etcpp.Nun kommt Tado . Die Thermostate sind einfach wunderschön und elegant. Die Installation ein Kinderspiel , die App ein Traum und macht Spass , alles funktioniert sofort und ohne Probleme , alles ist selbsterklärend. Der Knaller die „Home away“ Funktion mit der die Heizung nach Anwesenheit und Abwesenheit gesteuert wird. Eine Zeitsteuerung ist für uns vollkommen sinnlos ... Frau in Schichtdienst, Kinder kommen und gehen ... Tado macht das alles von selbst und perfekt. Ist niemand da wird die Heizung runtergeriegelt, bewegt man sich nach Hause wird die Heizubg hochgefahren und kommt man durch die Tür ist alles warm. Besser geht es nicht.Die hier oft erwähnten 25.- € Jahresgebühr zur Automation sind das Geld mehr als wert. Und übrigens ... bei Innogy muss man jede Funktion einzeln dazu kaufen , beispielsweise kostet alleine der Fernzugriff auf sein System Jahresgebühr. Buche ich alles dazu zahle ich deutlich mehr als die 25.-€ im Jahr.Toda ist für mich das perfekte System auf dem Markt .

Muy buen producto. Lo mejoraría haciendo que la app funcionara sin conexión a Internet.

Alles bestens

Di semplice utilizzo ed installazione. Dotato di accessori acquistabili separatamente utilissimi
