Great review but please lose the annoying,intrusively loud background music!

I agree, great video ... but PLEASE lose the background music - it's distracting and too loud!

You did a great job showing the installation of the valve and talking about the system. I expected that you would also show the thermostat installation. And maybe a little more of the app.

Missed a trick here guys. The whole point of a smart TRV is that you can then have a room stat in every room. The problem with traditional TRV’s is their close proximity to the radiator prevents them from accurately measuring the room temperature. All you have done is change the analogue control dial to a digital app. People want a wireless thermostat in every room which can measure the temperature of the room and then wirelessly control the radiator valve. There is no need for the radiator valve to have a thermostat. The boiler controls the water temperature anyway, radiators should just be ON/OFF

Great detailed review. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share your thoughts.

Very clear video. Thanks.

Great review, and there is question from my side, if I adjust at Tado APP from 25 degree to 20 degree, does the device "immediately receive" the command and implement the command to control the boiler?

i ACTUALLY wanted to cause you ACTUAL harm by the end of this video xD ACTUALLY quite informative though

They’re a good idea, but would cost an absolute fortune in my house with 24 radiators 😂😂😂, but I do like the idea. Great video, well presented and btw, green suits you swoon ☺️

Thanks for the video. Some of my radiator valves seem quite hard to turn to me - is that ever a problem with this system? Or is the motor really strong?

First I read the comments and noticed that people state the amount of times you use the word actual (I thought they were nitpicking) .....Then I watched the video just to hear you use the word actual repeat numerous times, much much more then I thought possible....but still, actually a great video actually.

I got distracted and stopped listening to what you were saying and instead counting how many times you say the word actual.

I just want to know if u can mount this in every room, cause I wonder if the signal cause this far from those bridge to every room?

Once you've configured your internet bridge using the ethernet cable and router does the bridge have to stay connected to the router via an ethernet cable or can you disconnect it and it will connect via wifi to your router?

Thank you for the nice review! I have 2 questions. First of all, how good is the range (the signal strength) of the valves? I'm personally using Netatmo smart valves and the range is very disappointing. The signal barely passes through 2 thick walls. Does Tado have the same problem? Do Tado valves communicate in chain or only directly with the internet bridge? Another important question is: can the Tado valves request the boiler to turn on when the valves determine that they need heat in their radiator? Or does the boiler follow its own schedule and the valves can only act as limiters on the radiators, completely dependent on the boiler's own decision to turn on/off? Thanks!

Am I right in thinking that with these valves, I won’t need a main thermostat on the wall? I was thinking to get Nest but they don’t control heating in each room like this

Thanks for the video. Can I ask a question: If I buy 4 of "Tado TADO SMART TRV HEADs", do I have to buy a starter kit too? or are the heads only enough to control them via the app?

have you done the follow up video as you said? I cant find it, can you please provide a link?

"Actual"

So you dont need the main controller thermostat that comes with one of the starter kits?

Will the single bridge reach in all the areas of a big house? Ie using one bridge with 20 add on thermostats?

Thx for the review. Pls buy/use a good microphone that cancels the reverb. And yes, plssssss lower the background music by at least 60%!!!! Cheers 👍🏻

Thanks for the review but how does it demand boiler heat? It’s inefficient to have a boiler running continuously. Say just one room is demanding heat and all others are satisfied I do t see how the boiler can be started?

Thinking of delving into the smart home setup for my heating. At the moment I have the programmer / control panel in my hallway, boiler in the bathroom and a dial controller/thermostat in the living room. Am I right in thinking if I used one of the Radiator Thermostats the current system / programmer would need to be set to 'constant' to ensure the boiler provided hot water to the radiator ?

Can you put a video with the noise of the valve?

how long does the battery last and does it use heat to recharge?

One of my radiators is build into the floor. Would this system still work? Or would the sensors on the valve get wrong input data due to the isolated location?

In the summer when the rads are constantly off do you still get a graph of room temp?

This is why sound engineers have jobs.

If the temperature sensor is on the TRV, and the TRV is right next to the radiator, surely it would sense it reaching the temp limit way before the actual room does? Does it have remote temp sensors?

I have a question i cant find on the internet yet.. How does it communicate with the central heating unit ? How does that know when to shut off or go on ? Does the central thermostat need to been on high or something ? Or is there a relay in de central unit that wil communicate with it ?

So can i not just buy one radiator thermostat? Do i need the starter kit? Or do newer versions connect directly to your WiFi?

A couple of questions, do you need to bleed the system first? And secondly how often do you need to recharge the battery?

Will you do the second review (after 6 months) and share how much you saved on the energy bill? Thanks!

I wasn't keen on the music either - that's why we couldn't hear the valve operate! I think that the very professional camera set up actually got in the way because there was too much talking to the camera rather than using the camera to illustrate the actions that were being talked about.

If my internet goes down, Can I use the rad value manually, Great video 👍

Can this be used with Nest thermostat

How long does the battery last?

the bridge actually uses lan?

Are you able to control these remotely or only while in your home?

Good review. Although that terribly disturbing background music makes it hard to get to the end.

Is it true that you now have to pay a subscription fee to use the product ? if so, then this should be mentioned in the review of the product.

Can you set it up on a timer

can you use more than one phone/device with this system?

how does the radiator thermostat set the proper temperature if it stays so close from the radiator itself? I mean, depending on the size of the radiator and the size of the room, the temperature in the opposite position of the room will be different from the temperature near the radiator.

Can Tado be controlled by NEST or Google home?

How can the Tado valve be installed exactly as in the picture on the box (and in the video’s preview)? It looks like it’s screwed directly into the radiator without any fitting...

Sponsored by my protein! Just kidding. Great review. I think the only automated TRVs are Tado and Honeywell, right?

if you have the thermostatic head vertically instead of horizontally it does not play properly.

Are the trvs quiet?

Where is the questioning thinking? - to ask for instance why have rad stats having to communicate with the home network through Tado's wireless receiver (effectively establishing a single purpose home wireless network) rather than using an existing wireless home network? And why use up a wired port? The arrangement you show will be fine in a studio flat with no infrastructure, but in a large house some rad stats are bound to be 'out of sight' of the 'internet bridge' or will burn their batteries trying to reach it. Which is all a bit pointless if there's already a home network wireless repeater with bandwidth available on the same floor. What about discussion of the suitability of temperature sensing on the radiator itself as opposed to with a room stat? Or the widespread reports of false 'window open' alerts? Or that in a gadget supposed to help you be "ecologically friendly" (your words) it won't support the lower voltage of NiMH rechargeable batteries? I learnt very little, because you gave us not a REVIEW (which implies some critical thinking being applied) but instead an uncritical gushy 'fabulous features' sales pitch. Are you really in any position to offer a review of this when you've had it for a week and by your own admission, it hasn't done any of its primary function of temperature control yet? Finally, the music/musak is distracting and irritating. What is it FOR, exactly? - do you think we've so little going on between the ears that some mindless pap is needed to fill the empty space? Or are you worried that what you have to say or its delivery is so banal as to need supplementation? No - stop - don't answer the last question.

Are these compatible with Nest thermostat or would their be incompatibility issues?

Is tado open therm

can't listen to the radiator valve that you even pause for when you are playing intrusive elevator music

Almost no review took place in this video, in spite of your title. All your time was spent on the installation procedure, and on how the product was supposed to work. In reality there is a big mismatch between the way the system is supposed to work, and actual reality when in operation. None of this was addressed.

Good info but the background music is really annoying and too loud.

The music in the video is far to loud and distracting

The music is way too loud, I had to give up. Why would you put music on that type of video when you are talking most of the time.

The batteries in the thermostat knob are empty in 6 weeks. Tado is determined that the batteries will last 2 years 😂. It will costs you a lot of batteries in 1 year. Do not buy it! 🤣

The music was the terrible part of the video, at least should not to be that high, it's difficult to understand what you say sometimes

good review, f#∞ing annoying music. Why do people ruin good vids with stupid music playing. Or does the Tado now stream music from your computer or smartphone. Please let me know.

Please loose the music

Is this completely pointless?

Stačí vidět jak máš připojený radiátor. Jak chceš někomu vysvětlovat termohlavice. Bože

had to stop... the music is basically Barry White without Barry White... shame as I was genuinely interested in the product.

You say actual ALOT of times...

That music is horrible

Very annoying music.

That pointless music made me want to turn it off! Please leave it out in future.

Music is awfully... sorry
