    Evohome is not Tado, with the latter being probably 5x cheaper.

    From my experience, Tado has a significant limitation of not being able to just open the TRV without calling for heat. For that reason tado multiroom doesn't work well.

    You can install Tado TRVs in non boiler mode, where they operate like manual TRVs, albeit with full app control. Tado supply these as a kit with the bridge, specifically for community heated buildings, apartments, where the heat source is central, and not controlled or 'called' by the TRV. It should be possible to disassociate a TRV from the main stat, support can do this.

    I guess I won't know until next year how it's impacted my heating bill overall, but at a minimum I have the confidence in knowing that I'm only heating the rooms I'm using, when I'm using them, as opposed to just turning the dial on the manual timer and blasting the whole house out of it just so our bedrooms can be warm at night, or our living room be warm in the evening while watching tv.

    The energy loss reduction is around 20% (https://core.ac.uk/display/77035376). But that comes with reduced efficency of the boiler - so overall the difference might not be that significant.

    Will i need to drain the rad to put the valves on?



    Ive a heating job being doen at the end of the week so it would have been ideal

    So TRV Valve bodies are different from a standard Manual value. But Tado supply adapters which then clamp their TRV's to any TRV body

    All I know is that I'm not heating rooms now which I previously would have heated. Previously, heating came on for the whole downstairs, now it only heats the kitchen and dining room (where I'm WFH)

    Boiler efficiency was one concern for sure. Im not even sure how efficient it is with my dual zone nests. I have a 2500 sq ft house, 2 story with a Grant Vortex 90-120 boiler. I do like the idea of Tado, but ill probably stick with what i have for the moment. Thanks for all the insights and opinions, great to hear different views

    Boiler efficiency is not related to the number of TRVs zones, but more to do with the circulating water temperature. Maximum efficiency is achieved when the boiler reduces the temperature by pulsing or modulating the firing, such that sufficient temperature is maintained in the radiators to satisfy room demand, while ensuring the cooled return is at the least technically feasible temperature. Boilers operated by OpenTherm digital connections are best able to achieve this optimisation, but will only be able to take a connection from a single OT stat (Evohome and another brand can manage this though).
    I'm not sure what happens when Tado OT stat calls on behalf of a TRV, but I'd say there is a multi zone algorithm at play. It's moot with tado anyway, as even with a straight SL connection to the boiler, it modulates the firing either side of target temperature on the Stat or TRV. It doesn't have the benefit of boiler return temperature readings available via OT from an OT equipped boiler, but it does a very good simulation of OT control.
    I'd not worry about the marginal inefficiency of a boiler receiving multiples calls from many TRVs, as many of these will be closed or partly closed, their rooms won't overheat. A one or two zone stat only system is always a compromise, with only the stat locations being accurately monitored, unused rooms will heat, and open radiators in other rooms in the zone may well overheat their room, which is far more inefficient, unless capped by a manual TRV.

    It actually is the other way round - you get best energy utilization if all radiators heat up simultaneously. As you well explained, the boiler efficiency is directly linked to the temperature of water coming back into the boiler: the colder, the better. One radiator won't cool the water as much as many of them, so when only one TRV is open, water is warmer and efficiency loss happens. I might be wrong, but I haven't noticed Tado doing any coordination between the rads, so you might have two calling for heat in alternating periods.

    Sure, there are some gains to be made by having separate room controls. Especially in bigger properties sparsely populated with rooms being completely unutilized at certain times. In a typical family house with a few people moving around - not so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,917 ✭✭✭deezell


    What Tado does is learns the rate of increase in temperature in a zone when the boiler is called. It will not know the return temperature unless OT connected, but it will know how many zones are active. It wouldn't take much knowledge to write an algorithm that assumes the boiler will work more efficiently in this case by modulatimg the firing so that there is less circulation of the heating water as there are less open rads, while still having sufficient water temperature to bring the rooms to required temperature quickly.
    Even with all rads open on a single zone system, most stats will call for heat regardless of the return temperature, and unless your boiler output is a close match to steady state demand, it will have an ever increasing temperature on its return until the stat cuts. A smart boiler might well mitigate this by simply cutting the fuel while measuring return temperature, knowing that it can continue to circulate this heated water for a while without degrading the warm up time of the room, about which it had no feedback. Most modern boilers, gas on particular, are fitted with a return flow stat, and have their own firing logic, without any input from the stat.
    As far as Tado goes, when its calling a boiler via SL, it has no knowledge of the boilers efficiency measures, though Tado do ask for your boiler model when configuring your system initially.
    What they do have is a set of firing patterns, low, medium and full, and they switch between these pulsed patterns as the temperature rises to target. These show on the graph as shades of grey, on the app as 1 to 3 wavy lines. Running your finger over a days recorded data will show exactly how the boiler switched between these different power levels, which themselves are achieved by on/off modulation. It's rare that it will fire at full, unless starting from a huge temperature differential, or when 'someone' presses the boost timer on the app, which produces a dark grey 3 wavy line burst bar which is characterised by extending down over the base schedule horizontal bar, (orange and blue for temperatures above or below 19° , and green when in Away mode.) Check out this little screen capture of the graph as I run my (invisible) finger left to right.

    Indeed. The part that provides huge efficiency is the way that TRV's learn the time it takes to raise a room temperature from Xdeg to Ydeg.

    The important part is the way the boiler stops running (or the TRV closes) up to 10 mins before the room reaches the desired temperature since it is still delivering heat to the room. So if you want a room at 21deg, that's what you get.

    Are large part of wasted energy is due to overheating rooms , especially too when the warmer the temperature, the more energy proportionately required to reach that temperature, even though that high temperature may not really be required.

    I see that Google have started their Black Friday deals on their UK store today. Does the Irish store usually follow soon after?

    We got 5 of these free last year on a single Google play family account. Every assigned member was entitled to one, different addresses, didn't matter. They must make them for a couple of Euro.

    just a thought - should the heating related posts be moved to the heating automation thread (if possible) - there's lots of learnings there that will get lost if they stay in the BA thread.

    Yes... The router can and does also work as a node. And yeah, they do sometimes drop the price of the nodes

    Bit of a discount on amazon about £105~ €119
    €131 in argos

    Trying to hold out for a better offer myself, have single one of the old version in centre of house. Reception is good everywhere except the alcove where the TV is. Going to get the router to put there as it has ethernet ports so I can hardwire it back. The Nest Wifi Point doesn't have ethernet ports.

    Bundle is €229

    I picked up a 2 point Nest WiFi a couple of months ago for €200 from the Google Store... Black Friday is great but not always the best time to get best prices... If you see what you want at a reasonable price, just get it... The time to wait in case of a better price in November doesn't always work out.

    ... having said that, I'm looking to pick up a Eufy Robovac 30C or 15C Max... They had a good offer last week, but prices back up this week...

    I picked it up for £125/€140 in this deal. Next up now is the quattro pack of TRVs as I missed these the other day.

    I'm not 100% certain this is suitable for my system yet though as I'm a total amateur. I've OFCH with basic rotary wall clock. Dormer bungalow with 2 motorised zones - downstairs and upstairs wired stats. Hot water tank is included in upstairs zone so I currently don't have direct hot water control. Thinking I'll have to get wiring done from the tank to the wall clock to create its own zone.

    I had a zone valve which is now just permanently open because the Rad TRV's are all essentially Zone valves. You cannot have a situation where an upstairs rad calls for heat but your zone valve is still shut

    Cheers, yeah I came across this issue when doing some reading up on it over the last few days. Seems the TRV can only make one call for heat, i.e. it can fire the boiler but can't also tell the zone valve to open. So the boiler keeps running with no heat delivered to that room. Bit of an oversight by tado?

    I could certainly leave both zone valves permanently open but the downside is I'd need smart TRVs everywhere (14 rads €€€) or at least in the most used rooms. If I leave them both permanently open then I assume I won't need a second thermostat in addition to the one from the starter kit?

    Would anybody know what would be the best way of getting hot water control? As mentioned earlier, our cylinder is upstairs in the same zone as the upstairs rads, i.e. I have no direct hot water control and it currently does not have a stat. I assume a cylinder stat would need to be wired back to the new extension kit that'll replace the old analog clock next to the boiler. How difficult would this wiring job be? Alternatively, if I'm making the old upstairs stat redundant by permanently opening the zone valve could the wiring for that be used instead? Think that would mean any upstairs rads without smart TRVs would heat up also though.

    From the Irish Google Store...

    Find a Nest Pro.

    I did that last night and got a quote this morning! (€160!)

    That's a great price from ScrewFix for the Hello Doorbell. It's €200 direct from Google. Now to buy now, or hedge my bets and wait untill Black Friday!?

    Most sales seem to be week long these days. Do people think prices will drop again on Friday?
