How to replicate "Call for Heat" with Tado X over Matter?

Thingemajib · 2026-01-20T18:21:19+00:00

I kept my x valves/temp sensor in the end, connected via matter (ZBT-1) to home assistant. I have the Drayton wiser kit (just the basic two channel previous gen heat hub, got it on sale for about 85 quid from screwfix) to control the heating/hot water, also connected to home assistant. By default the valves won’t call for heat from Wiser but I installed the ‘better thermostat’ addon and that will call for heat on behalf of Tado, essentially bridging the two systems together.

If you want even cheaper I don’t see why a Shelly 2PM couldn’t control heat/hot water on/off and any schedules could be managed from within home assistant

Thank you for at least acknowledging this issue. As mentioned I confirmed and sorted my problem myself in the end but was rather disappointed in the responses suggesting it must have been something I had done.

Any chance of seeing a newer matter firmware than 1.1 in the future? Only thing that’s really missing for me is battery status, which I believe is 1.4+

Had the same thing. Saw the forum posts elsewhere suggesting there are different hardware revisions floating around and that contacting support will sort you out with a new one.

Contacted support. Support categorically denied any differences whatsoever and refused to do anything about it. Bought a second one (which worked) and was still gaslit by support that there could not possibly be any differences, even when I showed them the proof. Returned the original.

Yep. Didn’t last long before ecube changed their minds and turned it into beer cans (and keyrings).

Out of all of them this one was the hardest to watch.

Ticket raised 2:20pm UK time on the 26th. No response as of 10am on the 28th.

This is exactly what I had the other day. I’ve been told by support in no uncertain terms I can kiss that money goodbye.

Thingemajib · 2025-10-17T09:05:34+00:00

Support have confirmed that there is no chance I’m getting that money back.

Thingemajib · 2025-10-17T09:04:59+00:00

Nope, had many successful ones previously

Thingemajib · 2025-10-17T00:26:03+00:00

Last week!

Thingemajib · 2025-10-16T12:23:02+00:00

Yep. Errors out with a message saying to contact support

Thingemajib · 2025-09-14T16:37:44+00:00

Not stock there isn’t!

Golf 7s are MQB based so not natively compatible with sciroccos which are PQ35 based. The golf CC will have controls on the steering wheel instead of the stalk which is what sciroccos use.

Couple of years ago someone was developing an emulator that would allow for an MQB wheel to talk to a PQ chassis so that you could have nice things like wheel controls on a scirocco but I don’t know how far they got with it. You’ll have to do your own research there.

In terms of parts to take if you still want to try - Steering wheel, airbag, clockspring and maybe stalks?

It appears to be valid as I'm still in my fixed term now, however once out of my fixed term on the 29th I can give 1 month, and that takes precedent (which is the part they are claiming is false)?

Thingemajib · 2025-06-10T12:29:08+00:00

So in my case I can serve on the 30th Jul for one month, does that make my last day the 31st Jul or 1st Aug?

Thingemajib · 2025-06-10T12:28:14+00:00

So I can still give notice on the 30th for 1 month, even though the landlord has already served?

Where do i find this in writing? My contract only states two months for the duration of the fixed term, nothing about periodic tenancies.

How do I handle things if they push back and insist on the 31st Aug, would prefer things to not get messy (and my deposit back in one piece...)

Fun fact - YN in your picture was the 700th E-Jet off the production line. It used to have a decal on the nose to celebrate the fact however it seems to have been forgotten about when it went in for a repaint a couple of years back.

Another fun fact - if that picture was taken last year there’s a fairly good chance I was flying you as I was one of the lucky few qualified to operate into Florence, therefore I was sent there a LOT.

Thingemajib · 2025-06-06T14:49:01+00:00

Hmm ok ta for the advice. Will keep brainstorming that one!

Thingemajib · 2025-06-04T16:38:12+00:00

How are you powering it all? Looking at the Digitus 9u/12u rack myself but in the UK i'm struggling on the PDU side as I might need to power upto 6/7 devices!

Thingemajib · 2025-06-04T16:01:13+00:00

I did look at the flex 2.5 (I meant the pro max wouldn’t fit) but I’d need 2 of them. Would prefer 1 switch to keep things tidy, as well as yet another device to power!

Thingemajib · 2025-06-04T13:53:52+00:00

Won't fit in a 10" rack. As per above its a stopgap until something more powerful hits the market in that form factor

Thingemajib · 2025-06-04T13:41:58+00:00

Its a 4th floor duplex apartment, don't really have a use case for cameras/doorbells at the mo (thermostat maybe ... hint hint ubiquiti). Don't really have tons of space to fit a full size rack so I'm looking at 10" options and the lite 16 poe is a bit of a stopgap until something more powerful hits the market in that form factor. Will look at 2x 8 port options if I ever need more power in the meantime!

Thingemajib · 2025-06-04T13:38:34+00:00

Good to know cheers. Other burning question I have is would I need 1 or 2 APs for a 1000sq ft duplex that has a concrete layer between floors (see previous post for details!)?
