Anyone else remember the absolute fiasco when they tried to retrospectively charge users for features?

Can you add a link to the new Tado thermostat that supports EMS Bus Worcester. I can't find anything about it on their site.

Is there a link to this new product on the website?

Once again another really useful video relevant to what I'm doing right now. Tado is on my short list but I now know I need to check if the model I buy supports modulation.

Fitted wireless Tado boiler thermostat, Tado smart valves & extra temp sensors in each room (expensive). 2 years on I love the Off & On’able nature of adjusting each radiator or zone. Love the valve auto shut off when a window/ door is left open . Also it lowers the house temp ( if you want) when we everybody leave the house. Love it  👍

I got a Tado in 2014, its been great, got another in 2016 when I moved house and needed a 1st floor thermostat. Easy to install for a non expert.  They both still work fine.

By good fortune I purchased the wired version because my old thermostat was also wired, so it was a direct swap. However the old thermostat was a basic Honeywell on/off relay, so the instructions were based on what thermostat was being replaced. In reality, my boiler, a Vaillant Home Combi 30kW supports modulation and just needs the same pair of wires to be connected to a different set of terminals at both ends.  So in short, getting my wired Tado and existing boiler to work together using modulation is relatively easy but it took this video and a lot of Google searching to find this out.

Finally!!!

They see good sense, Worcester Bosch boilers can be updated again! Just one of the handy BUS languages Tado speak.

Well done Tado

I actually just installed a Tado wired thermostat like 2 weeks ago. No smart valves or anything like that, just the thermostat (ours was dying and I wanted a smart thermostat)

Honestly, I love it. The wife does especially since she's disabled, so if she gets too cold, she can open the app and just hit "boost heating" and not have to worry about trying to get downstairs and all the rest of it.

Had no idea about the modulating controls, nor what they do. I may have to look into that and see if it's something my boiler supports. I also want to look at adding smart valves later, money being the restricting factor there, but i've also heard they have connection issues since they all need to connect to the internet dongle thing you get with the thermostat and thus I may need additional ones of those.

Can we have an updated version of this interview with Tado please! I can't seem to find the version he mentions which talks to a WorcesterBosch. Also with their new X system that's just released

Feel a bit robbed realising my one doesn't support opentherm as I believed it did when I purchased it! Have a non condensing boiler from moving house and will probably move to a heat pump so it won't affect me, but if I had went for a new condensing boiler I'd be annoyed to find out after fitting! 😡

So could you do a video talking about how to figure out if our boiler is able to do modulation. And how to set it up? I also only have two cables that the old thermostat had so I used the same connections on the Tado when installing it. The whole modulation thing is basically still a mystery to me even after this video about how happy you are that it’s “back” 🙁

What's the plan for updating EMS+ (edit: I meant EMS2) bus protocols for the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 series?  This seems to be such a key interface and yet we have only relay control as the option.

Thanks for the helpful information 😊

Two years after installing wireless Tado, with a modulating boiler, and one year after this video, I still have no idea if my Tado works properly with the modulating boiler and if there is an updated Tado version I have no idea how to find out if I can get one.

@CameronHarrisWood
I'm not seeing the Tado wireless thermostat available anywhere with modulating controls. Or at least, I'm not seeing anything which explicitly states this. On the video you refer to it being available for Pros on their website, but I can't see anything...?

I was one of the people that found my house wasnt insulated properly (new build) I also clearly showed how much energy I saved on that room once insulated…much to the chagrin of our developer….who is an arse. :)

I brought my tado last year. One of the reasons I bought it was because of the ability to use modulation. I then found out my boiler didn't support this. It looks like our boiler is nearing the end of its life now and I'm looking to upgrade the boiler. I was definitely looking to get a boiler that supports modulation but then found out that tado in the UK doesn't support this. I was really frustrated with this because I've sunk a load of money into the system and only found out afterwards it doesn't support one of the main features I bought it for. I was then excited that they are now bringing it back but I'm in their website now and cannot find out what it is I need to upgrade my system to support modulation. I'm not sure if I'm just being stupid or if it isn't clear. Can someone point me in the direction of the product I need to upgrade my system? Also will it void the manufacturers warranty if I'm installing this?

Will Tado be offering a trade in for the V3. I bought it thinking it would have modulation and not just on off
