Pros
- Tado is the only one I have used but have had it for over 5 years. Bought it because I could do the complete install myself and it was a drop in replacement for a typical UK thermostat as it doesn’t need power to be run to where the ther...

- Tado for heating control
- expensive systems like Tado ones work with central unit + valves on each radiator.
- Consider the cheaper Tado V3 kits.
Cons
- I've had a good look at Tado, Hive etc- but I'm looking for someone here to help clarify as every review is biased/says something different.
- Asking as mine are on order to get rid of this god awful tado system.
- Well i took the plunge today as fed up with my tado and the way the company has changed. Also how 90% of the local functions dont work like if you use there cloud service.
- I've used a smart thermostat (tado, with the individual radiator thermostats, my understanding is they've enshittified since, so that's not a recommendation), and they're fine, but not likely to be an overall saving.
- The last thing you want is a device that's cloud dependent. Cloud dependent devices will either live long enough to no longer receive security patches, or become victim of a subscription(recent example is Tado).

Tado is the only one I have used but have had it for over 5 years. Bought it because I could do the complete install myself and it was a drop in replacement for a typical UK thermostat as it doesn’t need power to be run to where the thermostat is located.
I’ve used Tado for years and it works very well. Cost wise though it’ll be in the mid hundreds for a typical home. You probably won’t save money on gas either but what multiple of my friends and myself have noticed is the house feels way more consistently comfortable of a temperature and definitely doesn’t cost more in gas.

I know about the terrible practice of tado asking customers to pay 1 euro per month to then tell them it was a prank. That’s disgusting .
