Tado set offset using separate temperature sensor

Edit: Here we go. This ended up being quite simple. The below will create a template thermostat component that calls tado on/off and uses an external sensor to sample the temperature. No need for messing around with offsets etc.

The only downside is:

  • when the thermostat needs to heat the room I’m telling Tado to heat it for 99 hours to 30 degrees. This is effectively my TADO ON command.

  • when the thermostat needs to stop heating the room I’m telling Tado heat it for 99 hours to 5 degrees. This is effectively my TADO OFF command.

Obviously this means the temperature displayed on the radiator and in the Tado app is incorrect. But who cares? I will now just switch to using homeassistant as the single source of control for heating.
