[QUOTE="Susi, post: 547735, member: 37191"] Yes, the ground floor has underfloor heating. The first floor has radiators. I understand that I have two separate heating circuits to control these. Tado is a competitor to Hive and other smart control producers. I just have a preference for German manufacturers, so I went with Tado. I have three Tado smart Thermostats on the ground floor controlling the underfloor heating, and a few Tado smart radiator thermostats controlling the radiators on the first floor. There is a Tado hot water/heating control unit connected to the boiler, I have upgraded it from a Honeywell STC9400 2-channel programmer earlier. The Tado system is working well. I can fully recommend it and even a dummy like me managed the self install as they have detailed installation videos. Are you saying that I need to change something in the main heating unit? There are 4 wires to each Thermostat Zone 1,2 and 3. (I actually thought I have 2 zones?) With regard to the programmer, it is just screwed to the wall and the wires come out of an app. 2x2 inch hole. Yes, I am both interested in how to wire this, and how to do it physically neatly. Again, there is a light switch next to the Honeywell programmer if that is better to power the tablet. Should I perhaps change the wiring at the main unit to put the programmer "always on", and just close the existing hole in the wall, i.e. bury the wires? I could then power the tablet from the light switch (somehow). With regard to the physical appearance, I thought to install the tablet in a frame like e.g. this one. I could probably hide the wires behind that. The seller also suggests different charging options (click on the 3rd picture).
