I have fully install this system about a year ago. It is fantastic & light years of what we had before which was a single wireless room stat with trv's. The best way I can describe this system is control, control. control!
Great video & explanation Derek, the tado control is a great piece of technology for the heating system, its quite expensive but seems to.be the future technology for heating controls.. Amazing what gadgets they come up with.. 👍👍😀😀
Had Tado V2 (No charge) for about 5 years on my Valiant Combi, as a frequent business traveller the Geo Fencing and learning remote database were fantastic it would know how far from home I was and turn on the heating based off current house temperature and how long it would take to heat up based of the information it had learned etc and you could see everything in real time too. Only problem was that if the internet went down it stayed in previous heating or off mode. Sadly when I had a gas boiler replaced installer yes installer blew the Tado receiver and the new pcb on boiler. Ended up once sorted with Nest, TBH only advantage that NEST has is that it holds the schedule within the unit and not dependent on home Network as uses it’s own thread network to speak to receiver. Geo Fencing with Nest is rubbish too as will only switch on as you walk through door. So yes I would recommend Tado, shame that they charge now for its best feature though.
Looks great. Doesn’t look too difficult to install and set up either. Look forward to when you review the one at your sons house in 12 months! Thanks Derek 👍🏻 Asian Jon. Training.
Hi Derek. Great videos. It would be great if you could do shorter versions say appox 10 minutes so they can be dropped into a tool box talk. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I fitted afew and came down to Manchester to do the Tado training about 4/5 yrs ago. Then find out homeserve was acting as the distributor. So wasnt happy about that.
Why on earth have Tado removed opentherm from UK market? I really don't understand this move in year 2023 everyone wants more control and Tado remove it makes no sense
Regarding the electrical wiring for the 2 port valve, I understand you need to install one for the radiator and one for the UFH after the flow pipes from the boiler are tee'd off. But I'm keen to understand how these motorised valves get their power? As in, where does the black cable coming out of the motorised valve connect into? Any idea how each of these motorised valves get their power to turn on/off? For example, for the UFH, do you install one 2 port valve in the manifold area which gets its power directly from the manifold / UFH wiring control centre and turns on once the thermostat calls for heat? And to control and turn on the radiators, do you install the second 2 port valve next to the boiler so it can collect its power directly from the boiler or from the Tado wireless receiver (and therefore switch on once the Tado TRV is calls for heat)?
@@RCSteve I would be surprised if the headline had ebus I know the glow worm and Vaillant has it but I would guess the headline at the price wouldn’t have it.
Excellent video but please how to connect it to s plan as I found it very hard to connect with Biasi Rinnova Adabtive 30s because I don't know where to connect the switch live from wiring center to the boiler please can you help
I got a vaillant boiler with one circuit of the heating system for whole house. Will tado work for me to control the boiler with few wireless smart thermostats?
The tado should work on the boiler and if you mean thermoelectric rad valves they will work but if you have a one pipe system with no bypass under each rad then you can’t use TRVs
@@tomkatgastraining I've got 2 pipes under each radiator at my house (feed and return). About boiler I meant that I have just one circuit of the central heating system for all radiators, they are not separated into room-groups. Thats why Im thinking about getting into tado system.
@@tomkatgastraining Could You help me with wiring the wireless receiver to the boiler? I got Vaillant Atmotec VUW PL 240/3-5 with Calormatic 370 connected to the ebus. The instruction of tado says that I should use just a grey wire, into the slot 4 of terminal block. I got the same wireless receiver as you, the newest version without ebus + -.
What way do I wire up to a Worcester 28i Junior,there is a live,neutral and earth coming out of my boiler and going to the wireless connection for my current wireless thermostat.
Noooo. Have to power the router connection. Poor. Drayton wiser is better, simpler, no subscription fees and top customer support. It’s also better priced.

Hi @Cmdr007Bond, Does this Tado v3+ work with valiant Ecotec plus 831?
Looks great. Doesn’t look too difficult to install and set up either. Look forward to when you review the one at your sons house in 12 months! Thanks Derek 👍🏻
Asian Jon. Training.
Any reviews on the TADO EU model? Especially the ability to utilize Opentherm and PDHW ?
Hi Derek. Great videos. It would be great if you could do shorter versions say appox 10 minutes so they can be dropped into a tool box talk. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Don’t think I have a chance with that mate you know how much I waffle 😜

what is the point if you cant modulate?
This is what I am thinking makes no sense to remove opentherm you might as well use a Hive or anything else makes it all the same

Great video just ordered one, with a stand I might add, what benefit would i get connecting this to the eBus rather than the 24v on a heat line 28c
You have double the price of the boiler
@@tomkatgastraining Haha sure have, it's a stop gap for now, still what about the eBus?
@@RCSteve I would be surprised if the headline had ebus I know the glow worm and Vaillant has it but I would guess the headline at the price wouldn’t have it.
perfect video, btw do wireless thermostat has connections in the back like wired thermostat ?
Excellent video but please how to connect it to s plan as I found it very hard to connect with Biasi Rinnova Adabtive 30s because I don't know where to connect the switch live from wiring center to the boiler please can you help
Really short sighted of tado to drop open therm support in the UK
its a crazy move to drop opentherm from UK markets
That was great,but where was Laurel!?
I dont understand why they took away the open therm.....crazy from them.
Can you add 2 wireless receivers. 1 for heating and 1 for underfloor heating on separate zone valves?? Will the conflict
Should come with the stand, charging extra for it and also only finding out after you have bought it is a bit of a slap let’s be honest. 🤘😎🤘
I wonder if you could cover installing this kit on an old boiler system with the cylinder?
Any reason for not demonstrating Hot Water control?

@@barteks816 sorry I didn’t give out information like that I have had my fingers burned on too many times when things go. Wrong
I fancy some of those in my house 😁
To late your brother has had them 🤣😜x
I see you've connected the live and nuteral with the same terminal the boiler is powered by. Is it safe to run 2 live and nuterals from one terminal?
Yes
You dont need a gas safe engineer. Maybe an electrican but it is very simple to conect everything.
What way do I wire up to a Worcester 28i Junior,there is a live,neutral and earth coming out of my boiler and going to the wireless connection for my current wireless thermostat.
I prefer to stick it to the wall 👍
Definitely a stand
👍🤓👍
I like nice pair, but this is not what I had in mind!
Noooo. Have to power the router connection. Poor. Drayton wiser is better, simpler, no subscription fees and top customer support. It’s also better priced.
