A pre-purchase question !!!
Hi all
Considering buying a Tado smart thermostat but I have question. I currently have a supported Vailliant combi boiler but have a wired thermostat in the hallway and a separate controller in the kitchen. I would like to replace both of these with a wireless smart thermostat but..... this is a rented property and I need to leave the old stat and controller in place along with their wiring. Am I right in assuming that this can be done by removing/bridging the existing wired controls and installing the wireless controller? If we ever move I will have to put the system back to its original state prior to this upgrade
Any advice or recommendations would be greatfully received

Presumably you're wanting wireless because you don't want the stat in the hallway? Otherwise, you could likely just replace the room stat with the tado wired version.
In principle, going wireless as you describe shouldn't be an issue, but I'd probably check with tado first. You can also take a look at the installation manuals for a bit more info, available at this substantial URL:

You should be fine. Unwire the existing thermostats from the boiler, install the wireless receiver and you can then add wireless temp sensors or Tado trvs. If the kitchen controller is a hot water cylinder programmer you could consider leaving that installed and just use Tado to control your heating.1

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm going to leave the kitchen controller connected as it appears to be a hot water programmer. The existing stat in the wind tunnel (hallway) will be decommissioned at the boiler and a wireless unit installed.
Many thanks for your suggestions
