Many homes have a central room thermostat that controls the heating for the whole house. The central thermostat can be wired or wireless.
You can control these heating systems with one of the following setups:
1. tado° controls the boiler and Smart Radiator Thermostats X control the individual rooms (recommended)
All rooms are controlled individually. If there is a call for heat in any room, tado° will turn on the boiler. The Wired Smart Thermostat X/Wireless Temperature Sensor X measures the temperature for the Smart Radiator Thermostat X in the same room.
Note: Any rooms without Smart Radiator Thermostats X will receive heat when the boiler is turned on. So if you have any conventional radiator thermostats, we recommend that you set them to frost protection and only turn them up when the room is in use.
You’ll need the following tado° devices:
For setup A with a wired central thermostat:
1x Starter Kit - Wired Smart Thermostat X (includes Wired Smart Thermostat X and Bridge X)
For setup B with a wireless central thermostat:
1x Starter Kit - Wireless Smart Thermostat X (includes Wireless Temperature Sensor X and Wireless Receiver X)
2. A Wired Smart Thermostat X controls the entire heating system
The entire home is heated based on the temperature measured by the Wired Smart Thermostat X, while your Bridge X enables your Thread network.
All rooms are heated when tado° turns on the boiler. Any conventional radiator thermostats that you have in commonly used rooms should be set to the highest level (e.g. 5 of 5). In less-used rooms, the setting should be set to a medium level to match the heat demand.
You’ll need the following tado° devices:
1x Starter Kit - Wired Smart Thermostat X (includes Wired Smart Thermostat X and Bridge X)
3. A Wireless Receiver X controls the boiler with a Wireless Temperature Sensor X
The tado° Wireless Receiver X is wired to the boiler and controls the heating based on the temperature measured by the Wireless Temperature Sensor X.
All rooms are heated when tado° turns on the boiler. Any conventional radiator thermostats that you have in commonly used rooms should be set to the highest level (e.g. 5 of 5). In less-used rooms, the setting should be at a medium level to match the lower heat demand.
