In this video, I replace my TADO thermostat with a Shelly 1 relays controller by the Home Assistant generic thermostat.
Since getting my TADO installed back in 2021 and learning more about heating that winter, I was frustrated by the limited options in the TADO. I wanted to tweak some of the parameters, but it was impossible. I decided to just replace my TADO completely.
To accomplish this, I replaced each of the TADO Wireless Extension modules with a Shelly 1 wireless relay. I then added a Generic Thermostat integration to Home Assistant.
As each Wireless Extension model is essentially a relay, the replacement was direct, requiring some WAGO connectors and backing boxes.
It was too warm to give it a good trial run, but as we're nearing October, it won't be long!
I'm a little nervous about replacing my thermostat with software, but Home Assistant has been running my home for more than two years without any real issues!
I'll be sure to do another video once it's been up and running and I'll give a break down of how it's all going! Be sure to subscribe if you're interested in any updates!

Video Notes:
Had some issues with sound again unfortunately. I think I need a better camera app on my phone, one that will tell me the current microphone. I've also leaned a little about gain and for the screen sharing segments, I've set the gain to the minimum level. I think this is much better.
