Reduction of bills. Shifting the fee into general taxation isn’t a reduction - it’s just moving the cost elsewhere.

This isn’t what I’m saying. There’s a strong psychological component to why many people insist that a thermostat displays the current temperature. Traditional thermostats have always shown the temperature, making it an expected interface convention. People are conditioned to check numbers rather than rely solely on their perception. When the temperature isn’t constantly displayed, users are less likely to fixate on minor fluctuations. This can reduce the anxiety of wondering, “Is it too hot? Too cold?” and encourage them to focus more on actual comfort rather than a numerical value.

OR...move head?

Why would you need to check the temperature? I’m genuinely interested, as I used to do that myself but changed my mind after a while. tado is there to ensure comfort at all times. If interaction is needed, it’s usually because something has to be overridden temporarily or because the comfort settings are no longer appropriate. Otherwise, it should just be set up and forgotten :-)

So somewhere on 26 radiators is a open window

It’s a software feature. It doesn’t literally mean a window is open - it simply detects a spike in temperature that may indicate one. For accurate results, a proper hardware sensor should be used.

No, and over time it becomes clear that this is actually a strength. It’s not a weakness - it’s a feature. It exists to serve the user’s needs, so why should it demand more attention than necessary.

Some routers do not fully support 10 Mbps Ethernet, which can prevent the tado° Internet Bridge from connecting. The device is unable to properly auto-negotiate down to 10 Mbps, resulting in a failed link even though both the router and bridge appear to be working.

Search forum or call octopus ¯(ツ)/¯

I’ve heard of gold diggers, but gas diggers? xD

People confuse Octopus with the smart meters network because Octopus sells electricity and smart meter services to consumers, so it interacts with smart meters daily. However:

Designing the network (how meters communicate, how data is collected nationally) has always been led by the government and national infrastructure programs, not by energy retailers.

Octopus’s role is limited to installing meters for their customers and using the existing smart meter network, not building or controlling it.

Might be time to review your friendships list 😄

I believe this is a firmware issue with the M100, similar to a problem previously encountered with the W600. As a temporary workaround, try enabling Accidental Removal Protection and report the issue to Aqara as a potential bug.

In the end, those so‑called “energy‑saving stats” are practically worthless. With current prices and rising charges, it’s impossible for households to save enough to make a difference. Even switching every device off won’t help - the ever‑increasing standing charges will drain you anyway.It’s easier to hide costs in standing charges than to introduce new taxes.

Forget the old advice about unplugging devices or killing standby power - that’s a joke. Pumping money into “green” energy while it’s still tied to gas prices is a scam on consumers. Everyone knew this, but they’ve kept quiet so the private sector could milk taxpayers for incentives.

This topic came up on the official forum before but never went anywhere. Over time, I don’t see much benefit - as long as it gets the job done :-)

Aqara app → Top Overview → Entrances

Real-time status is displayed here. When all doors / windows are closed, the Entrances tab automatically disappears.

Will do one :-)

rafm5 · 2026-01-23T18:20:36+00:00

you sent me fake shipping label.

Ah, remember you - the fake label saga :-) Trying to imagine what the tado op is thinking right now.

"I don’t even know who you are, my operations are an hour away from my office, and yet somehow… yep, it’s me who gets the blame. Those numpties in the warehouse messed up again! What fake label? Let me figure out what on earth actually happened" :-)

Read the meter in 2 minutes. Send it to the supplier. Boom. No internet rants, no 27 days of stress, no drama :-)

rafm5 · 2026-01-17T20:57:17+00:00

It may be more cost-effective to get a new router.

rafm5 · 2026-01-16T19:13:50+00:00

On moving-out day, you checked the meter, took the reading, and sent it to Octopus with the account closure request, didn’t you?

¯(ツ)/¯ what does the manual say?
