[Released] Finer granularity of temperature reporting and adjustment for Smart Radiator Thermostats

I totally agree with this, I have also been asking for this for a long time, both for the radiator thermostats, and the room thermostat on the actual thermostats themselves, as opposed to via the App. Seems a bit odd you can't set 0.1C increments on both pieces of equipment and being a dot matrix display should be easy enough to reprogram to show the 0.1C increments.

The difference between 20C and 21C is massive, it can't be right to leave it at that for the radiator stats.

Any news? This should be pretty easy and really useful in terms of user experience!

I agree with @Cmellys:
"This should be pretty easy and really useful in terms of user experience!"

I agree to it.. half degree increments at least in app even if TRV is not able to show it..

Please implement this.

Probably because relying on the TRV's built-in sensor isn't a great idea as it gives fairly inaccurate readings (it is, after all, connected indirectly to the heat source). I understand the point of it maybe allowing you finer control of the heat, but I wouldn't be trusting the TRVs to give you accurate room temperature readouts.

Also, it would make it harder for Tado to flog their smart thermostats! ;)

There are several threads around with the same subject. It seems there is a need, nut the votes are in to many different threads. A fresh one with large support should be started. This really needs to ne implemented!

I don’t understand the logic that: “the TRVs are not as accurate so having half degree intervals won’t make a differnce”.

What difference does the accuracy of the TRV make, the temperature at each set point is surely proportionately so it’ll be equally inaccurate at 20.5oC as it would at 21oC, however the crucial difference being the room will be a little warmer at 20.5oC than it was a 20oC and a little cooler than at 21oC.

Without sounding like a broken record, the Evohome TRVs have half degree increments. You don’t need to have the granular level on the TRV either, it could just be in the app. Not sure of the point of 0.1oC differences for the TRVs I’d agree, however a 0.5oC has been the goto logic for most digital measuring devices for many years. It effectively means that countries using Fahrenheit will have more granularity!

I am not sure if it’s a culture difference, but effectively telling your customers (and the people using this forum who are your likely ambassadors) that they are wrong and their valid concerns are not important is a very poor show. This shouldn’t really even have needed a feature request, half degree increments should just be there.

Hello,

The vast majority of manufacturers that make TRVs have implemented this 0.5C granularity. Tado is among the few that do not have this.

@Jurian from Tado any comment on this which ease the usage a lot?

@GrayDav4276

Technical team had confirmed to me that the heating will actually trigger only when the temperature difference is at least 0.5°C …and that’s fine as firing a boiler for every 0.1°C change is not best option.

If this is compromise between system performance vs boiler life, Tado° should at least work on a software unification for each device and operating system.

iOS app – 0.1°C accuracy (display & change | app ver. 6.6.3)

Wired thermostat – 1°C accuracy (change) and 0.1°C (display)

WebApp - 0.1°C accuracy (display & change)

Siri – 1°C (voice commands | iOS 14.7)

Home app - 0.5°C accuracy (display & change | iOS 14.7)
