Disable TRV "calibration" when offset is changed [required for using external sensor]

mperedim

@beEnry all due respect, this has been opened since 2020 with 100+ up votes. I share your frustration in this not being fixed, but if Tado wanted to work on this, it would. "Bumping" it every other day only spams people that have subscribed to this thread with notifications. Please stop it.

@mperedim I respect your opinion and your issue with notifications but you have the possibility to turn those off if you can't stand them, or create a filter in your email application.
The fact that those emails annoy you means that those also annoy Tado or whoever reads this forum, there is no better way to ask a big corporation a feature than making sure the message is continuously present in the upper section; this is only possible if someone reply.

As such I'm sorry but I will continue doing this.

At the risk of being pedantic you may want to read the rules at https://community.tado.com/en-gb/discussion/11714/netiquette-and-forum-rules. Simply bumping is not contributing to "constructive criticism" or "lively debate", does not "relate to the thread", does not "facilitate an exchange between users" and last but not least does not "foster a constructive atmosphere".

Having said that, not like I can do anything so I'll stop this debate here.

This is something I was looking to implement also but that calibration issue would be pretty annoying, please can we have an update to this Tado?

Another ping. Recalibration on offset change is really annoying and drains the battery a lot in long run

Woah, how is this still not solved in late 2024? Unless this behavior of the TRVs has been programmed intentionally by Tado in order to 'encourage' us to buy the super expensive separate thermostats? I honestly don't understand it otherwise. And it's extremely disappointing, makes me wish I had invested more wisely in my heating system.

this really needs to be changed -.-
the current implementation of the calibrations is the worst of both worlds.

we cannot trigger a full calibration on our own AND we also cannot prevent calibration on offset changes…

why?

I am certain the reason for this not being implemented is pushing to the sale of their extremely overpriced thermometer sensor.

Most probably you are here for implementing something like Better Thermostat, let me tell you how i solved the issue: Set all of the TRVs with -9.9 offset so they have room to go beyond 25 when needed, then set Better Thermostat to adjust using the Target Temperature instead of Offset and set sensitivity to 0.3 degrees. This is working great for months without the stupid noise or battery drainage.

I contacted Tado with the same request and got this response:

Hello, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we understand how the noise can be frustrating when changing the temperature offset. We are aware of this issue, and our team is actively working on improving the behavior to prevent unnecessary valve movements when adjusting the offset. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work on a solution. In the meantime, if you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.

My reply:

Hi, I am glad to hear the team is working on this. I am looking forward to seeing it released. Is there any timeline known?

Which is when I found this five year old post. I responded with:

I found from 2020 with a lot of votes. Unfortunately this does not inspire a lot of confidence that it's actually going to be fixed.https://tado.vanillacommunities.com/en-gb/discussion/4325/disable-trv-calibration-when-offset-is-changed-required-for-using-external-sensor?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=valve+offset

Unfortunately support hasn't yet responded to the above.

Support has responded with:

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing the link. I completely understand your frustration, especially given how long this issue has been ongoing.

If you're still within the 30-day return window, you're welcome to return your Tado thermostats for a refund. If you need any assistance with the return process, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help.

I truly hope we can resolve this issue in the future, and we appreciate your patience in the meantime.

I will be returning my Tado products.
