The Tado Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+ is an Alexa, Google and Apple HomeKit compatible Smart Thermostat that can be self installed and works with combi and boilers with water tanks. After 8 months of usage this is my review.

hi, thanks for the great video. We have been comparing the Drayton Wiser, Tado, Hive and Nest, your vlog has really helped us understand why the tado is good.

Great video! Thinking of ordering one of these for our combi boiler, however does it actually need drilling to the wall? As that isn’t possible for us at the moment

@MarksTechVlogs Жыл бұрын

Not really...you could probably just use something like command strips amzn.to/3IzrWHM - These can also be safely removed without taking off paint in the future

Useful video.I guess you cant control individual rooms without the special valves which are expensive, on each radiator. Is that correct?

@MarksTechVlogs 3 ай бұрын

Yeah that's right. I actually have 2 of the special valves in rooms I want more control over...so my home office has one that stops it heating up in the evenings when I (generally) don't work and one in the bedroom which keeps it cooler than the rest of the house. I have seen the triple pack of valves gets as low as £130 before so worth keeping an eye out for offers geni.us/gmvhfYd

Hi Mark, thanks for the video, just 1x question.. wireless Tado can be use as wired ? are there connections on backplate ?

@MarksTechVlogs Жыл бұрын

No, you can buy the wired version but the wireless version has instructions on capping old cables if you’re replacing a wired one

Great Video. I have an Ideal Vogue Max combi boiler which is about 2 years old and is run via Halo thermostat set up. Would I be able to install just the Tado Smart thermostat valves and Internet bridge to some of my radiators without the need of installing the Tado hub? I have read that as long as my boiler is compatible with Opentherm and 240v, my Ideal boiler will work? Can you please advise? Thanks so much, Ian

@MarksTechVlogs 7 ай бұрын

Hi Ian, I'm afraid I don't know enough about opentherm to know if the Tado valves will be able to trigger your Halo. I'd probably recommend contacting Taco's support to find out. Sorry to not be more helpful

Great video. V helpful. Do you know how it works with nest....? Does heating need to be turned on by nest centrally for the tado thermostatic valve to be of any use in controlling room temperature? Or will it communicate with nest to turn heating on..?

@MarksTechVlogs 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, the nest will need to be on for the Tado valve to make a difference, if you use a Tado smart thermostat instead of a nest then the valves can turn the heating on

Hi Mark, thanks for your review! I've just moved into a home which has a hive system. However, I will need a new Hive Hub if I want to use the app. Would you be in favour of replacing your heating system with a Tado instead of having to buy a new Hive hub?

@MarksTechVlogs 7 ай бұрын

Hey, having used both I’d certainly favour Tado over hive, I think it’s all round a better system plus, in the last few years Hive has discontinued a number of products which is never a good sign for longevity and customer support. If you’ve already got the Hive unit attached to your boiler you should easily be able to switch it out with the Tado wireless kit 😀

Yes it does, if you also have any of the Tado radiator thermostats then they can turn your boiler on too

Hi Mark, I’ve seen elsewhere that the wireless kit does not support Opentherm which would be a massive difference and something to consider. Can you confirm if your wireless kit supports opentherm?

I have a combi boiler vaillant ecotec pro 28 and i think i have bought the wrong tado as i do not have a separate water tank so what do i need to do with the V3 starter kit ? Do i have to get the wired version and wire this to my existing thermostat ?

@MarksTechVlogs 7 ай бұрын

I'm assuming you have got the version that has 3 parts? As shown in the video? The thermostat shown in this video (the square white part with the display) will take wires as being wireless so you should be able to replace your existing dial thermostat with it, use the hub and then discard the larger white box

@deadandgone70 6 ай бұрын

Just to make sure, is it wires that go into the thermostat? I’m changing from an old early 2000’s thermostat and there’s 5 wires

Yes the wires go into the thermostat…the TADO app is really good at talking you through the setup for your specific thermostat

@MarksTechVlogs Жыл бұрын

@@pelemasa2516 There's not an easy way to do that as the thermostat basically turns the boiler on or off. The only way to control individual radiators is with the smart radiator valves amzn.to/3U777XP but this would mean one of your zones (upstairs or downstairs) would need one of those on each radiator so could get pricey. If you already have thermostatic radiator valves however they're super easy to fit.
