Started with Nest and then moved onto Tado.
Reason was, at the time, they were the only ones who offered individually controlled TRV's. Handy to control each room's temp individually.
BUT.....not sure they are the best design tbh as the thermostat is on the TRV (of course) so when the radiator blasts the heat out and it meets the temp, it turns off....but the other side of the room is not as warm. Probably needs to come with a little add-on that you stick across the room and it works out an average or something?
This is exactly what I'm looking for: I want to be able to have multiple thermostats and multiple controllable valves. Hook them up to a raspberry pi (or an off the shelf product) that allows me to configure a load of different plans, invoke/schedule those plans, tweak the settings on the fly, etc. It sounds like such a simple concept but I don't know if anything exists out there. I'd happily write my own software if you could just get the individual items, including the interface to the boiler.
