Combining TRV's into room groups

New to Tado so please excuse me if this is already possible… I have fitted 18 thermostatic valves to our heating system that is plumbed as 3 separate zones. Some rooms have multiple radiators that obviously show up individually in the operating app. Is it possible to cluster these into one room group which then averages out individual rad temp's to give overall room control? To me, the obvious way to achieve this would be 'dragging' of the individual rad icons into each other thus creating a room group, you could then re-name, rather like organising an iPhone home screen. So far very impressed with the product.

    @Mrloudly 'Rooms' can have multiple devices. Group multiple physical TRVs in the same room into one 'Room' in the app. You can choose which TRV will be the temperature measuring device. If you fit a wireless room sensor in the 'Room', the app should default to the wireless sensor.

    E.g. A 'Room' with two radiators and two TRVs. One TRV is the measuring device:

    Not sure if I have a useful response but the fact that you have smart stats renders the existing previously used zones redundant. Each stat is now an independent 'Zone'. Just write a schedule for each zone, aligning each to suit your zoning requirements.

    Hopefully @wateroakley's response helped you to develop a grouping strategy going and you will need to consider setting one stat in each room as the 'master'. Tado support can help you with that I believe.

    However that aside, on the assumption that you left the original motorised zones in place, do I presume right on this criterion?

    • The App is configured, such that the radiators - which are fed by a specific zone valve - individually point to one specific Tado thermostat which opens and close the relevant motorised zone valve for that zone.

  • Dears, Thanks for the topic. I have currently the same issue with mine 3 TRVs installed in the same room but in the app processed to 3 different "locations" so I am not able to find the option to combine them in the same room and start them working for each other.
    Can you please explain in details how to combine them in the app in the same room?

    many thanks in advance and greetings from Germany!

    @mpantulov if you go under settings, then Rooms & Devices, you can click on your TRV and then you get to a "Select Room" screen. You can move your TRV to another room, create a new room, etc. It's pretty straightforward and intuitive.
