Are you satisfied with how Tado controls UFH?
Hi fellow Tado users. I've been using Task for few weeks. I have typical terrace with UFH on ground floor and radiators on 1st and 2nd floor. UFH and boiler are controlled by wired thermostats (boiler with opentherm) and radiators by SRTs.
I'm not getting expected results with UFH. I'm curious do you have similar problems and how do you manage / what workarounds do you use.
It seems that Tado is unaware how UFH works (high inertia):
- ufh thermostat is starting to call for heat too late despite early start enabled
- ufh thermostat is calling for heat for far too long (like few hours too long) despite achieving desired temperature. In consequence it's leading to overshoot and then big drop in perceived temperature few hours later, because it lets the floor cool down completely. It's not comfortable.
I'm thinking about creating some external algorithms for Alexa to control ufh. Maybe you have some ideas how to do it?
By the way, do you know how heat waves in Tado app work? I mean when Tado asks for one wave - is it certain % of max temperature set on the boiler? Or is it asking boiler for certain temperature?
