Tado Smart Radiator Thermostat - Unboxing and Installation. No plumber required!

The Tado Smart Radiator Thermostat extends the Tado base system by replacing thermostatic valves allowing temperature control on a room-by-room basis.
Swapping a thermostatic valve for a Tado Smart Radiator Thermostat is very easy and there's no risk of flooding. Watch the video to see how it's done.

Thank you, way more helpful than Tado's own installation video! :)

Thanks Andrew… my tado kit is arriving next week. Looking forward to saving on my heating bills! At least I won’t need to go into each room and manually adjust the TRVs every time I want to change the room temp now. 😅

That's great news. I'm not sure where you are in the world, but assuming that you are in the Northern Hemisphere and summer's coming, you'll probably not see huge benefits for a few months. One tip I'd suggest is to set your thermostats colder than you'd really expect to start. There are a couple of reasons for this...i) The TRVs on the radiators are always a bit lower so register cooler than the middle of the room ii) personally, I find it easier to spot when I'm a bit cold and gently tweak settings upwards iii) it saves you money from the beginning.

Thanks Andrew… I’ve only been sent the wireless receiver (programmer) to wire to my boiler along with 8 TRVs - but should they have sent me a bridge connection and wireless room stat too?

[@GNCandrew]

If you bought some kind of Starter Kit, then yes it should have come with a bridge and thermostat. It varies on the exact Starter Kit whether the thermostat is wired or wireless (mine was wired), but yes.

Thanks Andrew… I’ll give them a call! Really enjoyed your video - thanks. 🙏

The plastic parts came off a couple of times on my radiators.

[@GNCandrew]

That's annoying. Did they clip back on or had it snapped off?

It's not tadoo. Its tado

[@GNCandrew]

I'm open to official guidance as to whether's ta-doo or ta-doh. If you have a source, let me know, otherwise I'll ask Tado directly.
