Is there/can we get some detailed documentation on the Tado products?

Ideally Tado would provide this separately to the generic documentation intended for users not interested in the details. Potentially depending on how willing the hobby users are we could do this on GitHub or something? Its already plastered with Tado projects.

I have a fairly complicated setup in mind. I started with something simpler but even getting the initial setup off the ground was difficult for lack of detailed documentation. The stuff in the boxes just barely gave me enough to get it working and I had to fill in a lot of the gaps myself with experience, trial and error. I'm now trying to go further and have run into territory of undocumented use cases that I find very frustrating. Can we please get some good, detailed documentation that attempts to be exhaustive about what can be done with the Tado products and how they should behave when used as intended.

To explain my use case. So far I have a wired kit controlling my boiler via OpenTherm and 11 TRVs. I'd like to have 3 separate zones for groups of the TRVs and then a small number of individual/satellite TRVs for rooms we rarely use. Ideally I'd like the control to continue via OpenTherm. Should I get 2 wireless thermostats, will those control the boiler via the wired thermostat? Can/Should I get another wired thermostat and add it to the OpenTherm bus?

I've not been able to find any answers to this in any documentation and I am a bit tired of wading through reams of unrelated forum posts for answers.

  • This should probably be moved to Suggestions, I didn't see that category before I posted sorry.

  • You can’t add another wired thermostat unless you have covering else to wire it to, given the first one’s wired to your boiler. Everything else sounds possible though.
  • *something, not covering
