Our house currently has the following set up:

Danfoss thermostat in Master Bedroom, controlling a radiator with no control valve, as well as the heated towel radiator in the en suite.

Danfoss thermostat in the downstairs hallway, controlling all other radiators and the hot water.

Would a Tado V3 kit + 4 smart radiator valves be able to run 4 separate zones from within the app?

So have the main thermostat in the Master Bedroom, controlling the unvalved radiator and towel rail and hot water, and then the smart valves control the lounge, dining room, and other 2 bedrooms.

So 5 zones all controlled from within the app.

Also, how would any other radiators be controlled? As it stand, the total radiator count is 12:
Bedroom 1
Ensuite
Bedroom 2
Bedroom 3
Main bathroom
Upstairs hallway
Lounge x2
Downstairs hallway
Downstairs loo
Study
Dining room
 
Thanks all.

And would you say self-install is viable, or is professional a must-have?

I can see the TRVs are on offer at the moment on Amazon, can I grab some to use with my existing non-Tado thermostat, and get the rest of the kit later?

I found the self install easy enough, final config had to be done by Tado support to assign TRV's to heating circuits

The TRV's require a starter kit

Quattro TRV packs are on offer presently

Thanks, even cheaper on Amazon, I can get a V3 starter kit + 2 smart TRVS for £190, only vertical though.

Will they still work if my rads are horizontal? Just means the display will be sideways right?

We have a tado system for hot water and heating and its great. Love the integration with siri, the scheduling and general ease of use. We have 4 of them in our most used rooms and will get some for the others when they come up on special offer over the summer. They will take a while to recover the pure monetary cost in terms of saving energy but the price is fine when you consider the time it saves you and the control you have over your comfort. We have used the hot water control to turn on the water for when we get home, turn the heating up or off from the comfort of your sofa and it allows you to keep and eye on the humidity in all your rooms which is useful in the winter.

Did you get the extension kit for your hot water?

Our current thermostat controls both heating and water, so having to slap another £80 just for that would be a bit of a pain...

Daft question I have normal manual trv's is it just a case of removing the plastic part and fit these ones? Will they work with my valves? What is best way to check?

The come with a variety of adaptors to fit different valve fittings, check what valves/radiators you have, and ask Tado on webchat. :)
