I’ve been using the Tado V3 thermostat for my underfloor heating system, and while it’s been a great addition to my home, I’ve noticed some inefficiencies during colder nights. Last night, with the outdoor temperature dropping to 2°C, I observed that the system started heating at the lowest level (one bar) when the indoor temperature fell to 22.5°C. Despite this, the temperature continued to drop for several hours before the system escalated to higher heating levels. This gradual approach, while perhaps intended for gentle heating, resulted in unnecessary energy consumption and discomfort.
I understand that the Tado system aims to balance comfort and efficiency, but I’m curious if there’s a way to optimize this process. My ideal scenario would be for the system to detect when the indoor temperature drops below the set point and immediately activate the heating at its maximum capacity. This would prevent prolonged periods of low-level heating and potential energy waste.
I’ve reviewed the app settings and didn’t find an option to adjust this behavior directly. I wonder if others have encountered similar situations and if there are any workaround solutions or advanced settings that could help achieve this optimization. If not, it would be fantastic if Tado could consider adding such a feature in future updates to allow users more control over their heating strategies.
In the meantime, I’ll keep experimenting with the current settings and monitor the system’s performance. Any insights or tips from the community would be greatly appreciated!
