While it is true that in tennAcArya sampradAyam, the tiru-maNi is not used during ArAdhanam at the house, I am told that it is used during the tiru-ArAdhanam at the temples that follow the tennAcArya sampradAyam.  I do not have personal verification of this information.

  There is a rationale given for the difference which I won't get into
