After years of using a TADO thermostat, I decided it was time for a change. While it served its purpose, I was frustrated by its lack of customization options, especially when it came to tweaking parameters like cycle time and minimum run times. With a large boiler system, these settings are crucial for efficient operation. Unfortunately, TADO’s support wasn’t helpful, so I took matters into my own hands and upgraded my setup.
I decided to integrate two Shelly thermostats to control both my radiators and underfloor heating. Pairing them with the Home Assistant generic thermostat integration has been a game-changer. The flexibility to adjust settings to suit my boiler’s needs has made a significant difference in how my home heats up. To keep everything running smoothly, I’m using Aqara temperature sensors to provide accurate whole-house temperature readings.
The setup process was straightforward, and I’m excited to see how this system performs during the colder months. It’s been a rewarding experience to customize my heating system to such a fine degree. If you’re looking to enhance your home’s comfort with more control, I highly recommend exploring the possibilities with Home Assistant and Shelly thermostats!
