OK, I'm confident we're all on the same page then. I guess Tado say I need the extender because they know I have the external temp measurer.

Still waiting for my V2 to arrive, has been about 10 days from placing order so far...

Me too, although I only ordered mine half way through last week.

Ironically a replacement power adaptor arrived today, but still no dispatch of the kit.

I got my Tado a few days ago but support are still checking if my thermostat is compatible. It is. It's a Honeywell T40 very simple one. They are taking ages..

Please report results, I've got the same.

Look at my posts a few pages back, I gave wiring instructions for my 3 wire simple honeywell one.

If it's the same get it wired in and phone them up telling them to connect it. That's what I did.

Just called them in the end and two minutes later all is good. They also paired the device at the same time. Apparently a T40 is a T6360. My fault for waiting on email support, should have just called them straight away and it will have been sorted.

Wiring was:

1 to COM
3 to NO
2 to blank
earth to blank

It is up and running, the temperature seems way out to me. I need to go and buy a cheap temperature sensor to see what it really is.

As long as it's a constant variance it can be corrected on the website login area.

Tado extension box arrived today. It has been redesigned from the main Tado v1 Box to allow it to fit on the standard backplate for uk programmers (usually no wiring changes required!).

All linked up nicely with my simple home automation system on Node-Red.

Did that thank you. 'Way out' was 1c in the end just felt like more.

Joy, so I have to put mine back then!

I smashed up my backplate getting the old Honeywell out. Crap. Especially as it's been tiled around!

[illmonkey]

Good excuse to replace those tiles!

I knew someone would say it.

There is a plan for the kitchen, but it involves knocking down a wall, which puts costings through the roof!

Only man maths could justify knocking a wall down and re-doing a kitchen to have a gadget that controls the temp in his house (that and saves £4/month)

It'll only take 416 years to break even. I can't see a flaw in my logic!

Tado ship it with a new one, just in case you smash it up

(But that one doesn't look like mine anyway)

Gave our heating a try today and found the receiver for the wireless thermostat has failed. Poxy thing is barely 18 months old. I'm guessing the receiver isn't available separately so am considering changing to the Honeywell evohome. Anybody else got this?

Yes, we're running the evohome system - happy to answer any questions.

[sjj84]

Is it reliable? Easy to use and set up?

Looks like Tado are geting a bit of a slating on Facebook & Twitter about the new app - apparently it's almost unusable and has tripled the amount of data used. I haven't updated yet (thankfully) - anyone here updated and got any experiences?

[RossP]

I didn't know there was a new app. What's the difference?
