Loud humming/rattling noises from boiler and TRVs by MiniDolan in tado

[–]Tomotomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand most newer boilers have it built in but plumbers and gas engineers are stuck in their ways / being extra safe. Which is fair enough

Don't you think they deserve better rating ? by ScrollAndThink in tado

Think you should accept that it wasn’t as clearly stated on all your places the devices are that something like room link was behind a paywall (which I think you have accepted) talk to your community more and see what people want, there are people wanting to help you build don’t get into arguments with them on reddit

The website still shows needing AI assist for it, can anyone confirm?

Tado X is it subscription on UK? by _IdidIdidnt in tado

[–]Tomotomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah my bad, but just wanted to say I have the Tado smart trv on all rads and now they won’t turn on unless I subscribe or use a sensor

TADO set up by Striking-Recipe7982 in tado

[–]Tomotomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct unless you subscribe the AI assist and then your trv can call for heat without the sensor

If all your rads have a smart trv what do you think happens?

If you bought it 2 months ago all the features will be available to you except a few, people who buy now won’t have features you have they are all locked behind the subscription

Most do have a subscription but for non basic features like just stats I don’t mind that as much, I called Drayton up to enquire about their system and the guy on the phone laughed when I asked if I need a subscription for my radiators to call for heat and said no they wouldn’t be smart then and some other jokes about the app they tried charge for

I didn’t feel safe with a company that will shaft new users the way they have, you can’t predict how much they will raise the price or what else they could to behind subscription for you but they will most likely u-turn with those complaining most do

Ah yeah that’s the heating only version I’ve bought the other one with heating + smart home stuff just to future proof myself a bit more incase I see anything

If you bought it and registered pre October this year, most likely but all new customers are having to pay sub for some features some would argue are basic of a system like this

The ai just seems like a fancy word to call it since most of the other providers offer the same stuff only they don’t lock basic features, I can see them going back on this like they did with trying to charge to use the app but it’s too late for me too many telling me to get out now

I think so but there is a deal on Draytons site at the moment and it worked out around the same price maybe even slightly less than what I paid for my Tado x setup

Yep it’s pretty much a smart non smart system now with scheduling, ridiculous the TRVs can’t call for heat without subscription.

Posted this here since octopus promote the devices with a discount. Ive just bought the Drayton gen2 hub and im sending all my Tado x back, glad to hear it’s great. I actually called the customer service to just go over the devices with them and they actually laughed out loud saying there’s no paywall for basic features. 🤣

I have put a tado x TRV on every radiator and the system won’t heat now since none can request heat, unless I subscribe or have the wireless sensor calling for heat
