I'm researching smart central heating controls (combi boiler, no water) and have a question about the following statement from their website. The bottom scenario.
https://support.tado.com/hc/en-gb/a...or-heating-systems-with-a-central-thermostat-
I was thinking I'd get smart TRVs for upstairs and control downstairs with the main thermostat. However, the description above has got me wondering. Surely if the stat is set to 22 and the room gets to 22, it should turn the boiler off? The above reads, at least to me, like the room will continue to be heated beyond 22 if, say, one of the bedroom smart TRVs is set to 24 - will that over-ride the main stat and turn the boiler on, therefore heating the downstairs radiators until the bedroom one reaches 24?
Any one with TADO confirm/deny this is how it would work?
If it is, then does that mean it's all or nothing as far as smart TRVs? And if you've got all rads controlled with smart TRVs, then do you actually need the smart thermostat at all?

One Smart Thermostat controls the boiler and Smart Radiator Thermostats are installed in some rooms, but not in the room with the Smart Thermostat (not recommended)...In this setup the room in which the Smart Thermostat is installed can get warmer than the temperature set on the Smart Thermostat itself.
