OVO Starter Kit: Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+ vs V3+ (incl. Programmer with Hot Water Control)

JEBR

Hello

I am a UK OVO Engery customer and am considering purchasing a Tado kit via OVO as they have a special deal.

The Ovo web site states they supply a “Starter Kit: Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+”.

However, the Tado website (https://support.tado.com/en/articles/3403569-what-is-a-tado-starter-kit-and-what-are-the-differences-between-versions) states this has been replaced:

**For the UK**

“

The “Starter Kit - Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+ (incl. Programmer with Hot Water Control)” replaces the Starter Kit - Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+.

“

So what is the difference between the two?

Cheers

The uk wireless starter kit has a wireless receiver with two relay (on/off) connections - one for Ch, one for hot water. The eu version has one relay connection and one digital (for Opentherm/ebus).

If you have a system boiler with a hot water cylinder you are most likely to need the uk version, if you have a combi then you may to connect digitally, in which case you’d need to source an eu version.

Hello thank but as OVO is a UK company I'm sure they are supplyting the UK starter kit.

It was more a question of (from the Tado site) - what has changed between these two (Both UK kits):

“Starter Kit - Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+ (incl. Programmer with Hot Water Control)” replaces the Starter Kit - Wireless Smart Thermostat V3+."

They’re not both uk kits. It’s telling you that if you’re in the uk you’ll get the version with hot water control but without digital connections, not that it’s replaced a previous version. Feel free to contact Tado support to confirm this.
