tado c/h causing my baxi 105e boiler to go into fault after every heating cycle
have contacted support , completely ignored the issue ,
after a heating cycle tado causes my boiler to go into fault ,ignition ,
if i reset it will go into another cycle ,and go back into fault ,
if i switch to hot water only , no issues ,tado is not controlling the hot water ,
but if i again go to heating and hot water ,a cycle of heating and we're in fault ,
i've set the target temperature down , so tado has not called for heat ,
guess what, no faults
had Lightwave rf for 6ish yrs before and never had this issue
after contacting support ,and showing the wiring ,
the response was ,Tado is not controlling the hot water, the problem lies elsewhere ?1
anyone else experienced this ?

This sounds like the boiler is complaining about an overheating cycle. That may be an issue with the bypass.

Are you sure you’ve got it wired up correctly?0

wired correctly ,if not i may have to give up my job as a sparks

Hmmm. What's the make of boiler and is it showing a specific fault code? If you've got the facility to wire it Opentherm/ebus you could try that, see if it makes a difference.

sorry just saw you put the make in the title. Doesn't look like it's opentherm/ebus compatible either. You could try resetting the extension kit, or check the contacts. That's all I got I'm afraid.

still working with support ,
gone through the resetting of boiler and wireless receiver ,
works on call for heat ,so all wiring is fine ,even used ferrules in terminals ,
and labeled sl and live ,showing pics ,proving continuity,
last request was what happens if you don't reset the boiler ?,
well it doesn't work !🤦♂️

So it’s not the wiring and it’s not the contacts, and it’s not the boiler because it worked with your previous system. I think that leaves two possible answers: 1. All Tado units are not compatible with your model of baxi. 2. Your specific Tado box has a fault that Tado in Germany can’t see.
Option two would be cheaper to rectify, though annoying as you’ve already shelled out for the kit.0 -
after 20 or so emails ,
i'm trying to get support to choose one of these options ,
and just take back the 8 x trvs and starter set ,
and i will go to a different system ,
lightwave worked fine on the boiler

@vespasmurf how many radiators do you have without a TRV fitted?0
-
one in the bathroom / towelrail

i take it you mean smart trv

I mean without any type of TRV. The most likely explanation for the lockout is insufficient flow of water in the CH circuit causing a safety sensor to trigger. You can check this by having one radiator where the manual valves at either end are fully open. Or remove some of the smart TRVs.

all smart except the towel rail which is standard trv set to 2/3 ,
but all was working with the Lghtwave rf heating control and smart trv's for a few yrs previously

will check the other end valves though

Assuming it is an issue with flow through the radiator circuit. Perhaps the Lightwave TRVs were passing a small amount of water when closed. Or perhaps the Lightwave controller was opening a TRV before starting the boiler. Whereas Tado starts the boiler before opening a TRV.

so possibly a software issue

@GrilledCheese2, in my Tado experience, the TRV opens then the extension kit relay clicks to start the boiler
I do agree that it's likely a flow issue which should be easy to check with at least one radiator left fully open
0 -
as the towel rail is a standard valve ,and not controlled by the tado ,
would this scene be covered ?
have been given a load more checklists to do by support just haven't had the opportunity ,
saved mew a fortune on heating through not working though !

Have you tried fully opening the towel rail trv yet? If it’s not a smart trv then it’s effectively invisible to Tado.0

Just pop off a couple of TRV's so there's flow through the system then test it. I had an issue when I first fitted Tado TRVs that I didn't have enough flow and the boiler threw an error. In the end I left the towel rad and a corridor rad with no trvs and that solved my issue. I just rebalanced the system using lockshields on these two rads.
