Room thermostat very loose in mount

I've just fitted a Tado system and noticed how ridiculously loose the room thermostat is in its wall mount.

It just sort of sits on the mount and could quite easily be knocked off when cleaning/dusting the living room.

Is this normal? I was expecting it to clip into the mount. I'll use a bit of blutack inside the mount to keep it in place.

    It does not “click!” but mine is not too loose, you have to apply some gentle force to remove it.

    Did you properly sit it on the two small ridges on top, then push it on the bottom?

    Yep, it's attached at the top but the protruding part at the bottom does not latch onto the unit. I can just lift it off; it's loose.

    I have the wireless version, so maybe this is normal? e.g so it allows the user to easily reposition the thermostat. But it seems a bit odd to me.

  • It's true it doesn't really click only the tiniest of tiny bit and comes loose fairly easily. At least in my cases ( have 4 of those wall things)

    Hi, I found another solution to this. If you save the small blue tag you remove from the battery, fold the larger end two or three times, remove the thermostat from its back plate, then push down on the tab at the bottom of the back plate (not to hard or it will break) then slip the folded tag into the gap that opens up at the bottom of the small screwed on cover, it's a bit fiddly but it does work. You could use thin card as well.
    Hope this helps.
  • Myself and other people I know have exactly the same issue....it is definitely a design fault and Tado should provide new back plates or something to fix the issue.

  • I have the same issue here.
  • Same Issue here. Smallest contact (you slightly touch it with your shoulder/jacket whatever) and it will fall off.

  • same issues with me too

    A small blob of BluTack is the answer for many users.

  • Come on Tado sort this. It is a problem, a cheap crappy bracket that is spoiling a quality product

    Is your unit's back panel properly aligned?
    Ensure even tightening on both sides. Uneven tightening can prevent proper clicking and cause the panel to sit askew.
