    Great video as usual Allen. I would recommend buying the EU version (V3) of the TADO, not the UK Version to use on combi boilers, so that it can be wired in via OpenTherm, E-Bus etc to enable the boiler to make use of Load/Weather Comp. It just seams strange that TADO dropped OpenTherm from their UK versions as not many installers either used it or understood it.

      The tado load comp is pretty limited, it only uses radiator flow temps in its model. The weather comp is also quite slow to update, a dedicated local sensor is miles better.

Its a shame in this wireless age it needs the complication needing to be plugged into the router. good video tho!

    I think you skipped the configuration part.
    Which is the worst bit of the installation.
    For Combi boiler you have to disable the hot water function.
    Other wise it won’t work.
    It works fine with S plan and Y plan.
    But it’s a nightmare on Combi boiler.
    I think I will go back to hive, which is more easy to install.

      Or use a wireless thermostat and buy the old extension kit “somewhere” as it’s discontinued
      Many installers don’t seem to know how to wire opentherm and wonder why we are asking for it.

    Hi, I was going to install the Tado smart wireless thermostat on my Vaillant Ecotec 831 boiler however I spoke with an engineer who said while it can be done on the Ecotec boilers it will not run as efficiently as they would using their own controllers.
    This is due to vaillant having their own Ebus chip and third party controllers can only control the boiler to be on or off rather than gradual heat control, this wasn't always the case with the previous vr65 which I think were opentherm but since the vr66 this seems to not work aswell with third party.
    Because of this I decided to only purchase the Tado radiator thermostats which come with the bridge in order to run those as an extra while keeping my Vaillant controller.
    Please can you or anyone else confirm this to be true?

    However The common and the NO are wired into a plug labelled ‘room stat’ which again makes sense however they are light grey and dark grey not grey and black and in the receiver itself they are not very helpful.
    The receiver labels are N/L/1/2/3/4 with the light grey in 1 and the dark grey in 3
