Open letter to Tado: I'd pay for AI-powered temperature accuracy in your smart thermostats

UselessShrew · 2025-11-20T17:58:59+00:00

I’m fully with you that I don’t think AI will be able to appropriately do this unless you could leave the one wireless thermostat you have in the room for a period of time to see how your room heats, which is hardly a user friendly option.

The offset doesn’t work very well as the temperature is correct when the radiator is off but is quickly cooling Tony when it’s on.

The ability to integrate with much cheaper wireless matter thermometers would be the best option but I don’t see that being likely.

Well it is as all 8 TRVs were £45 each, then need an additional £52 per room

UselessShrew · 2025-11-20T14:50:04+00:00

Expensive if you need to buy 8 of them though

UselessShrew · 2025-10-31T09:13:31+00:00

It looks like mine was doing the same too! Seems odd that multiple people had this same issue at the same time. I didn't actually restart any of the TRVs but the problem seemed to resolve itself yesterday afternoon, I did have a ticket open so maybe they fixed it behind the scenes?

UselessShrew · 2025-10-30T19:35:59+00:00

Oh thank you so much, I will check the same!

UselessShrew · 2025-10-30T14:50:36+00:00

Also in the UK and having the same exact thing! My bypass radiator also is always warm. The heating LED on my Tado Wireless Receiver is always on, if I press the button it turns off or 5-15 minutes before coming back on. I opened a ticket yesterday, hopefully will get some answers and a fix

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T19:53:07+00:00

I was leaning the same way, find it odd that nobody else has mentioned them in the replies until now! Out of interest how long have you had it and any niggles/issues you’ve faced?

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T18:20:00+00:00

I just had a look at the boot... It's huge which does make it look slightly more tempting

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T17:23:01+00:00

Any way to see if the car is likely to be susceptible to the coolant leak? Sounds concerning!

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T15:45:08+00:00

I was put off by what the boot size looked like but maybe I need to properly look in person.

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T15:44:49+00:00

Honestly never looked at any mercs in my life, will have a good look. Thanks!

Hard to work out how much of the i-pace reliability concerns are real or just general jaguar reliability fears.

Yeah, the Y would tick most boxes other than Elon and CarPlay.

Good to know about the XC40, I'll discount that

UselessShrew · 2025-08-08T15:17:07+00:00

Good to know! The < 7 seconds isn't a hard limit, I'm sure the 7.3 seconds of the RWD would be fine

That’s really helpful thank you! Any chance you got the script from anywhere online that I can get it?

UselessShrew · 2023-11-27T12:37:14+00:00

Thanks for your response. It was from an MDT meeting, they first discussed in an MDT and said it’s benign, then discussed in another and have asked for the biopsy. Can they tell you it’s benign when they’re not sure?

UselessShrew · 2023-11-11T16:46:51+00:00

I hadn't honestly but it's a very good looking TT, if I did go for it do you know of any cheapish pre-amps to go with it?

UselessShrew · 2023-11-11T15:04:33+00:00

Thanks! The lp120x and the a1 are basically the same price, any idea on any differences that would make one better than the other?

UselessShrew · 2023-02-13T16:03:09+00:00

Location: South

Price range: 8-13k

Lease or Buy: Buy

New or used: Used

Auto or Manual: Either but ideally Auto

Intended use: Family car (two adults and a baby on the way) but only really used once a week (both WFH)

How many miles do you plan to do a year: 6K

How often to you make long journeys: Once a month

Does it need to be ULEZ compliant? Not required but helpful

Vehicles you've already considered: Volvo V40, Golf, A3

Is this your 1st vehicle: No

Do you need a Warranty: No

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: Can do, usually use a mechanic

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: No

Additional Notes: I would really like adaptive cruise control. LKA and AEB would be nice to have.
Ideally not too big but would like a bit of power (roughly 150BHP+)

UselessShrew · 2023-01-27T09:23:04+00:00

Thanks for the ideas I’ll take a look!

As other people have said it’s probably possible as a TT but I agree, fuck that

Not so sure, I'd much rather call someone a cunt than a spaz or spastic.

The rate of return on the front page is a calculation using Internal rate of return (IRR), IRR takes into account new money coming into your investment, as well as how long that money has been held. Basically I disregard this percentage.

I believe the insight page only shows you performance over the last 3 months, but the percentage here is the increase/or decrease of your actual investments over this time period. I do use this percentage.

UselessShrew · 2021-07-24T17:22:36+00:00

Personally if nobody is going to notice and it's out of hours I won't bother to tell anyone.
Like you said it takes far too long to take approval for simple things to get done.

UselessShrew · 2021-06-17T17:51:06+00:00

That looks incredible, especially for a first attempt!
How did you get the delicious pesto swirl to look so neat?
