So currently I own a bunch of Tado radiator valves including a tado thermostat.
I’m thinking of replacing (some or all of) the tado valves with zigbee ones: main reason: It does not have a connection through my entire house.
The problem I’m encountering is: How do I nudge the main tado thermostat to actually start heating water without telling it to heat the main room.
When working with just tado thermostats (outside of home assistant). I assume this is all fixed in the background. But I have not found a way to connect a 3rd party radiator valve to the tado system using homeasssistant.
I’m not married to the tado system: but even other thermostats don’t seem to have a setting to directly send request to the central heater. The only option I really see is setting the primary room requested temperature to something high enough so it starts heating.
How would I go about setting something like this up? Or do you always have to heat the main room before you can heat secondary rooms?
