Fantastic wired thermostat replacement giving smart app internet & Alexa control
We have a Glow-worm Ultracom 38 cxi combi boiler with a Drayton electro-mechanical 2 wire wall thermostat that we wanted to replace with the tado smart thermostat.
The thermostat was getting end of life and would often need the contacts cleaned before switching the normally open (NO) 24 VDC heating control from the boiler. The other issue was the lack of intelligent heating control whereby the house was either cool or hot with frequent intervention needed to increase and decrease the thermostat set point.
Most new thermostats on the market, smart or otherwise, could improve the control situation but after installing Alexa we wanted to add heating to the list of house devices that we now control. We also thought that having the ability to monitor and control the home environment over the Internet might be useful.
Research began on two commonly known products and they both looked fantastic. The problem with the UK models is that there didnât seem to be a ‘wired’ switching thermostat model (where the thermostat itself did the switching) available and a wireless receiver had to be installed at the boiler. I thought it pointless to install a wireless receiver and start altering boiler wiring when we already had wires installed to the existing thermostat. Hot water did not need controlling.
It was a relief to discover that tado could replace an existing wired thermostat and in our case switch the 24 VDC circuit using the common-NO wiring configuration.
The Tado was ordered and arrived quickly. Although being an electrician by trade I followed the Tado instructions that started at the Tado setup web page; I didnât want to be the one causing a boiler meltdown in the middle of winter by getting things wrong.
The start of the install involved creating an account then registering the smart thermostat and the Internet Bridge that plugged into the Ethernet port of the router. Recognition and configuration of tado components was slick without problem. The installation then asks your thermostat and boiler make/model/setup. It was good to see that the Drayton and Glow-worm Ultracom 38 cxi was included in the list. The Ultracom 38 cxi is listed as Ultracom — cxi as it includes all three (24, 30 and 38) cxi models.
The boiler unit was powered off and the instructions gave the wiring diagram which was as expected in my case having metered out the wires beforehand. The wires were labelled using the stickers provided.
Mounting of the new thermostat was easy in my case as the existing screw holes from the Drayton matched the tado smart thermostat. The unit could be mounted without any more holes being put in the wall although I did have to chase the cable hole a little. I am not sure if the tado would benefit from a built in level like some of the other models have although this was not an issue as we have a few levels about the house and can resort to the mobile app level if needed.
Tado thermostat common and NO were used for the boiler heating switching control with the earth wire being terminated into a spare isolation terminal. After replacing the wiring cover then clipping on the smart thermostat, we were ready to power on the boiler.
After manually altering the heating using the manual controls on the smart thermostat and checking the boiler operated in a similar way as the old thermostat, it was time to install the app. We have both android and apple devices in the household and the app installed and worked well on both.
We switched off the heating schedule function built into the boiler. There were instructions with the tado but we left the old boiler schedule as is and switched off the boiler ‘Central Heating Timed Mode’. This was done by pushing the mode button on the boiler until only the ‘Central Heating Function’ and ‘Domestic Hot Water Function’ icons were displayed in the boiler LCD display.
The tado app heating schedule gave us what we could not get from the boiler timed mode and that is work week/weekend programming. An individual day programme was also available. We now have frost protection which we never had if the boiler schedule or control had the boiler heating off.
The app works well over the Internet when away from home and we have had no issue with performance. For some of the colder days it was good to switch on the heating a bit early before leaving work as the inside temperature had dropped with the heating off. We could change the off time to a minimum threshold to alleviate this maybe in the future.
The saving in the heating bill will come from the fact that we seldom overshoot with excessive heating of the house. Having intelligence built into the control, the smart thermostat will alter the heating as the room temperature reaches the set point. The analytics that come with the app show when the boiler was switched on and off over time so you can see your burn rate versus temperature and humidity.
One tip if using the schedule is to change the ‘Settings’ -> ‘Heating’ ‘Manual Control on tado device’ from ‘Until ended by user’ to ‘Until next automatic change’ otherwise a change in temperature by the user will override the schedule ‘next time’ until you cancel manually.
Alexa was easy to setup and with Alex Show and the Alex Dot in another room inherited the setup. A voice command to check the inside temperature brings up a digital thermostat on the Alex Show screen where the temperature can be altered using the touchscreen interface. Setting heating up/down or to a specific temperature is easy with voice control.
We get all of the functionality mentioned and more without spending a penny on subscriptions. We donât want the features the subscription entitles us to so this is not an issue.
The tado smart thermostat gets five stars as it has surpassed my expectations from installation to operation. It also provided the wired thermostat replacement with the flexibility to add a boiler extension kit if the heating control is more complex and/or the water heating is to be controlled. If we want to build on the system to make it multi-room with additional smart thermostats and/or smart radiator thermostats then these options are available.

High quality at every stage
I purchased the smart thermostat in November 2020 to replace my old mechanical thermostat. I was already aware that the automatic shutoff while away was a subscription feature so I won’t take any stars off for that. Having said that, even without paying for the smart features, the app will ping you a notification when you leave the house asking if you want to set “Away mode”. Yes it’s not as convenient as having it set automatically but it is still really helpful and easy to set Away mode of you’re out for a few days.
The main purpose of this review is just to report on the very high quality of the thermostat, the installation instructions and the app. You can really tell they spent time paying attention to the smallest details which really sets it apart from the typical Chinese IoT hardware out there. I am a software developer and hardware tinkerer so I recognise the effort that went into the Tado thermostat.
I was also a bit concerned about battery life as my thermostat has no power cable. Well it took 7 months before I could write this review because that is how long the 3 AAA Duracell batteries lasted (217 days actually). 5 weeks ago I received an email telling me the batteries were low but not to worry as they would still last another 3 weeks. I also got a warning when viewing the app. (this is the kind of thing I mean when I talk about attention to detail).
As for the actual benefits well for me what I like is:
– keeps the correct time (unlike the mechanical timer on my boiler)
– shows me a graph of the room temperature over time so I can see how well the heating is performing
– shows humidity over time which is useful in winter as I get dry hands or in summer as it might feel hotter than the thermostat would say otherwise.
– lets me control the temperature from my phone so I don’t have to get up from where I’m sitting
– lets me control the settings from outside my house so I can make sure it is off when I’m away or warming the flat before I arrive
– lets me control the temperature via my phone’s assistant (I don’t have Alexa or Google home but it still works directly through my phone)
– setting a heating schedule is really easy and intuitive via the app
– battery lasts over 6 months!
– never has trouble connecting to my WiFi despite the fact that I turn off my router every night. Well the thermostat is very close to the router so I can’t test the range but some of my other devices only connect 9/10 times. The Tado connects quickly 100% of the time.

Excellent control money saving device
The Tado thermostat is a really good way to control your central heating, there are several useful features and all can be controlled using your smart phone, for example you can set the system to reduce the temperature when your away from home and bring it back to normal just before you arrive home, all done automatically by using the GPS on your phone. From the app one can also check your daily usage and cost.
The system is fully programmable to suit your lifestyle. I think this is a great product, itâs easy to install and I highly recommend it.

Erstbewertung vom 29.10.17
Der Anschluss an das Heizkörperventil war nicht ganz so einfach und funktioniert auch noch nicht zu 100%.
Das Ventil ist etwas gröÃer als der Anschluss des Thermostats. Daher musste einer der drei Kunststoffadapter dran. Der Adapter lieà sich leicht anbringen und mit der dazugehörigen Schraube fixieren. Da der Abstand dann zum Ventilstift aber zu groà ist, muss die dabeiliegende Kappe genutzt werden, damit der Stift länger wird. Da kam das erste Problem. Die Kappe passte nicht auf den Stift. Der Stift ist zu groÃ, bzw die Ãffnung der Kappe zu klein.
Ich habe die Kappe dann mit einem Brotmesser mittig angeschnitten, damit diese sich beim Aufsetzen etwas weitet. Das funktioniert soweit.
Bei einem Heizkörper muss ich aber feststellen, dass dieser nicht vollständig schlieÃt und sobald die Etagenheizung für einen anderen Raum anspringt, wird auch dieser Raum miterwärmt.
Daher habe ich nun ein wenig im Internet gesucht. Das tado Thermostat hat einen Anschluss von M30x1,5 und mein Heizkörper wahrscheinlich von M32x1 âISTAâ. Den entsprechenden Adapter aus Metall habe ich nun bei Amazon für 15⬠bestellt und hoffe, dass damit das Problem beseitigt wird.
Update 12.11.17:
Der Adapter aus Metall ist da. Anbringung an die Heizung und an das Thermostat ohne Probleme. Nun schlieÃt auch das Ventil endlich richtig.
Weitere Probleme mit dem tado System hatte ich glücklicherweise noch nicht.
Update 05.01.18:
Das Heizsystem ist seit Anfang Oktober 17 im Einsatz. Die ersten Batterien eines Heizkörperthermostates neigen sich dem Ende zu. Am 27.12.17 kam die Info per App und per Mail, dass die Batterien noch eine Woche halten werden. Die Woche ist inzwischen rum, das Thermostat läuft aber immer noch.
ENERGIEEINSPARUNG: Das System ist mit zwei Heizkörperthermostaten und einem Raumthermostat an einer Etagenheizung in einer zugigen Altbauwohnung im Einsatz. 2016 wurden 14.500 kWh verbraucht (Abrechnungszeitraum Jan-Dez). Durch den dreimonatigen Einsatz Okt-Dez 2017 hat sich der Verbrauch auf 9500 kWh gesenkt (Abrechnungszeitraum Januar bis Dezember 2017).
Die Einsparung liegt damit zum Vorjahr bei 34,5%.
Nun bleibt noch der kalte Zeitraum von Januar bis Mai abzuwarten. Sollte sich die Einsparung so fortsetzen, so müsste sich das ganze auf mindestens 50% erhöhen! Das sollte aber nicht jeder erwarten dürfen, erst recht nicht, wenn man in einem gut gedämmten Haus wohnt.
Update 06.02.18
Die Batterien, welche am 27.12. die Meldung auslösten, sie würden nur noch eine Woche im Heizkörperthermostat halten, haben weiterhin Energie um das Ventil zu öffnen und zu schlieÃen.
Update 13.02.18
Die Batterien, welche am 06.02. noch Energie hatten, wurden nun von mir ausgetauscht. Sie konnten das Ventil seit gestern nicht mehr richtig schlieÃen, der Raum wurde immer mitgeheizt. Also liegen zwischen der Erstmeldung und dem Auswechseln 48 Tage. Ich habe eigentlich gedacht, dass das Gerät dann vollständig abschaltet, anstatt langsam zu versagen.
Ich habe nun einfach mal vollgeladene eneloop Akkus eingesetzt. Das Heizkörperthermostat hat sich kurz kalibriert und scheint mit diesen auch zu arbeiten. Allerdings gibt die App weiterhin vor, dass die Batterien fast leer seien.
Zu einem weiterem Heizkörperthermostat kam Samstag die Meldung der schwachen Batterien. Hier habe ich zeitgleich neue Batterien (anstatt Akkus) eingesetzt. Auch hier kommt weiterhin die Meldung, die Batterien seien fast leer.
Ich werde dies nun erstmal testen und weiter berichten.
Update 07.03.18
Auch wenn mir die tado App weiterhin anzeigt, dass die Batterien bzw. die eneloop Akkus bald leer seien und anscheinend nicht bemerkt hat, dass ich die vorherigen Batterien in den Heizkörperthermostaten ausgetauscht habe, so arbeitet tado einwandfrei mit den neuen Batterien, aber auch und das ist wohl viel interessanter, auch mit den eneloop Akkus zusammen. Daher werde ich die anderen Heizkörperthermostate, sobald die Batterien leer sind, auch mit Akkus betreiben.
Update 23.04.18
Der Sommer ist so langsam im kommen und die Heizung sprang die letzten Tage auch nicht mehr an. Sollte es nun so bleiben, so hat sich der Verbrauch seit dem Einsatz von tado um 48% reduziert.
Schade, dass andere nicht auch so gute Erfahrungen gemacht haben wie ich bisher.
Update 10.11.18
Die Temperaturen werden wieder niedriger, die Heizung fängt wieder an.
Stand heute zum Heizverbrauch: 5280 kWh
Voraussichtlicher Verbrauch: 6300 kWh
Voraussichtliche Ersparnis: über 56% !
Letzter Teil:
Tado war nun 1 Jahr lang im Einsatz.
2016 lag der Verbrauch ohne tado bei 14.500kwh.
2017, tado war ab Oktober im Einsatz, fiel der Verbrauch auf 9500 kWh.
2018 fiel der Verbrauch auf 6800 kWh. (-53%)
Es ist also eine klare Einsparung zu erkennen. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass ich die einzelnen Räume konsequent bei Nichtnutzung in der Temperatur abgesenkt habe, genauso mit der Abwesenheitserkennung. Die Temperaturen waren dann immer um 1,5 Grad niedriger.
Abo Einführung:
Tado führte nun vor einiger Zeit ein Abo ein. Allerdings betrifft dies nicht alle Kunden. Diejenigen, die Tado bereits mit der V2 oder V3 Bridge erworben haben, zahlen KEINE Gebühren. Diese können, wenn sie es denn wollen, für einmalig 20â¬, auf die neue Tado App upgraden. Ich habe es getan, sehe nach einigem testen aber keinen sonderlichen Mehrwert. Die App sagt mir jetzt, ob die Luft in den Räumen optimal, gut, ok oder halt schlecht ist. Aber eigentlich muss ich das ja selber merken. Egal.
Diejenigen, die die V3+ Bridge haben, die können für spezielle Funktionen das 3â¬/ Monat Abo abschlieÃen. Wer also meint, diese Funktionen haben zu wollen, der muss entweder das Abo zahlen, oder sollte sich mal nach einer V2, besser aber nach einer V3 Version der Bridge umgucken. 😉
Update 23.11.21
Tado ist umgezogen. Ich auch. Ich wohne in einer 10 Jahre alten Wohnung mit Heizkörpern und FuÃbodenheizung. Therme ist neu und die Dämmung des Hauses gut. Alles ist mit Tado ausgestattet, seit kurzem ein Raum auch mit einem Funkraumthermostat, welches ich hier bei Amazon für â51⬠schieÃen konnte. Leider musste ich für die Heizkörper neue Metalladapter kaufen.
Meine aktuellen Einsparungen:
Der Verbrauch meines Vorgängers lag in der Wohnung bei rund 8.900 kWh. Vor einem Jahr lag mein Verbrauch mit Tado bei rund 7.000 kWh und nun aktuell nähere ich mich den 6.600 kWh im Jahr. Also eine Reduzierung von rund 25%, wobei natürlich das Heizverhalten meines Vormieters unbekannt ist.

Acheté afin qu’il contrôle les 4 têtes thermostatiques Intelligentes V3+ commandées précédemment et placées aux radiateurs de ma (grande) pièce de séjour, j’ai éprouvé pas mal de difficultés à trouver comment configurer l’installation dans l’application qui, pour cette opération, n’est vraiment pas intuitive.

Lo compre hace ya mucho tiempo pero hasta hace cerca de un mes no lo instalé. Después de unos dÃas de pruebas estoy satisfecho con el funcionamiento y todo lo que ofrece. Creo que de verdad puede ayudar a ahorrar además de la comodidades que brinda tener un termostato inteligente como este.
La instalación es sencilla, y además desde la app te guÃan paso a paso aunque costó ver un poco donde estaban estas instrucciones. Antes de la instalación en pared hay que emparejar el bridge con el termostato.
Donde veo más puntos negativos es en el bridge, obligatoriamente tiene que ir conectado por cable al modem. Además necesita carga, viene con un cable de usb para conectarlo al modem… pero si tu modem no tiene conector usb necesitarás utilizar el adaptador de pared… y con ese cable mÃnimo con el que viene será necesario utilizar una extensión o buscarte la vida de alguna manera como fue mi caso.
Una vez emparejados y reconocidos en la app y hay que instalar el termostato. La instalación es sencilla y tb te guÃan según tu termostato anterior. En mi caso la instalación del termostato anterior era buena y fue realmente sencillo cambiarlo. Si la instalación está mal hecha seguramente se haga un poco más complejo.
Otro de los puntos positivos es que funciona con pilas, por lo que no hay que sacar ningún cable de alimentación etc. Las pilas son muy fáciles de cambiar sin tener que desmontar o desatornillar nada.
En cuanto al uso una vez que está instalado es exactamente lo que se explica, cumpliendo muy bien con las programaciones, las instrucciones por app y demás. Yo además lo tengo integrado con el asistente de google y funciona tb según lo esperado.

Wat een fijne thermostaat! Het aansluiten is een fluitje van een cent en de app werkt prettig. Door het zelf in te stellen weekprogramma heb je geen omkijken meer naar de verwarming. Geofencing hebben we nog niet uitgeprobeerd, dus daar kan ik niks over zeggen. Verder een mooi en bescheiden kastje aan de muur. Helemaal top.
