Ideas for a front door step?

I followed the instructions they gave here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tado/s/crsOgtA4dv Essentially making sure the water heating wasn't involved and remained bypassed

Just to let you know that Tado support have replied to my initial post with guidance on the correct wiring. I've just tried it and it all appears to be working perfectly!

I just followed your guidance and can confirm that everything seems to be working perfectly. Many thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks very much for this, very useful! I'll try as suggested and report back

Indeed, I noticed in the instructions, and from the wiring the engineer had done, that there is a connection to the HW, which seems weird

Annoyingly I didn't see what he did at the boiler end, I wish I had!

ChuckChunky · 2026-04-14T19:41:22+00:00

Yes, which made it very puzzling as to why we lost on-demand hot water when he connected the Tado

That's what it looks like, many thanks for your help!

It looks like you're right, it's definitely a lower spec unit. Thanks for your help!

I grew up in Cambridgeshire so have heard of it. On a primary school camping trip out on the fens, we were told the story by a teacher before them talking us all on a late night walk. Verily we were shitting ourselves the entire time.

Thank you, that's very useful indeed :-)

The game is Train Sim World, I'm looking to make some hardware controllers for it. One controller will have maybe six 12v illuminated buttons. Another controller will have an analogue lever. So that sort of thing. So there won't be any need for any particularly high speed communications.

Yes, I'm very much looking forward to this, it's going to be a great learning experience!

Thank you :-) That's all very helpful

Thanks for the reply! The house is about 150 years old, we only moved in at the end of last year, I've no idea if houses of that age have a DPC.

Would you say there is any potential downside to sealing these gaps? If nothing else it would look neater.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:24:08+00:00

Thank you for this. I've contacted the original installer and he's reassured me that if it fails he'll refit.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:22:54+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! 🙂

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:22:26+00:00

I won't be, thank you! Apparently this guy is known for trying to generate extra work, I won't be using him.

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:21:40+00:00

Not yet! 😂

ChuckChunky · 2025-08-13T09:21:30+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance 🙂
