Indoor air quality - Heat Recovery & ventilation system
Hi i have a HRV system installed that will change the air in our home approx 3x a day and recover the heat from exhausted air.
How does Tado calculate interior air quality?
Will it factor this as part of its interior air quality as i do not need to open windows?
Should i worry that my HRV system might not be performing if tado shows poor quality?

Hello Krissovo,
These systems are not considered in the current functioning of the feature. The interior air quality indicators that you'll see will be based on the open windows activity.
Best,

Similar to Krissovo, I have a PIV system that pumps filtered fresh air into the house, and it is kinda annoying that the the app says the air is stale. Because of my wife's hayfever and allergies stop us opening the windows.
I raised a request for tado to create a device like the https://getawair.co.uk/ that would give an accurate measure of air quality. I would also like to see Natural Gas detection too (we had a slow gas leak for about a month! and now have https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078RFH2TJ).
Please 😊

I have an MVHR system in my well insulated 1880 house, and the air comes into the house at 17°C to 18°C on a chilly day like today. To bring it to a more comfortable temperature (22°C) I pump water from the thermal store in the cellar Into a heat exchanger in the 125 mm trunking which supplies air to the house.
The small 12 V pump is controlled by a Tado room thermostat, which fits neatly into a duct at a position where it can easily be retrieved to change the batteries. The schedule drops the temperature to 18°C at night, as this is more comfortable for sleeping. It works very well.
Pump activity reduces after 13;00, when the heat pump raises the water temp in the thermal store.0
