TADO ° - Starter Kit V3 + - Bridge + Head

If your guests or residents don't have access to the Tado° app, you can make sure they feel comfortable even when you're away from home.

Recurring situations

Based on the habits of your guests or residents (such as babysitters or children) you can change the programming of each room. To do this, you will need to deactivate Geolocation for the relevant time slots. In this way, regardless of whether the members of your Tado° app Home are at home during these time slots, Tado° will follow the heating schedule for the selected time slot.

Less recurring situations

You can always control your heating manually, either by using it in manual mode in each room, or by changing the control mode throughout the house. To change the control mode, from the main Home screen go to "Geolocation" and manually change the "Home" mode to "Away". Tado° will maintain the chosen mode until a Home member changes it again. This change will be valid, not just for a single room, but for your entire Tado° system. Users who do not have a smartphone can still control Tado° directly thermostats.

Sign in to the Tado° app using your account to get instructions on installing and configuring the following devices: Smart thermostatic head, Smart thermostat , Wireless temperature sensor, Radio receiver or extension kit .

You will then be guided through the installation process:

1. Add Tado° devices to your app Home;
2. Associate the devices with the rooms (Settings / Rooms & Devices) and select: "Add device";
3. Select “Installation Instructions”;
4. Select the brand and model name of the room thermostat you currently use, or of the control unit you want to replace with Tado° , or select the boiler to which you wish to connect Tado° ;
5. Follow the customized instructions for installing Tado° devices.

To continue with installations reported as incomplete, go to the Tado° app and in "Settings" select: "Rooms & devices" by clicking again on "Installation instructions".

For devices already present in your Tado° app Home:

1. Go to Settings / Rooms & Devices;
2. Select the Tado° device you want to install;
3. Select installation instructions;
4. Change your choice of heating system (e.g. new make and model of boiler), so that it matches that of your new home;
5. To install the Tado° device in your new home, follow the customized installation instructions.

With the Tado° app, manually adjusting the temperature is quick and easy. When you make these types of changes, Tado° switches to "Manual Control" ignoring "Smart Scheduling" for the selected period.

Here's how you can manually control the temperature in the Tado° app:

1. Select the room you want to control and open the "Room Screen";
2. Set the desired temperature by dragging your finger up or down;
3. Release to make the change take effect.

Adjustment of the duration of manual control

Here's how to change the manual control duration:

1. Select the room you want to control and open the "Room Screen";
2. Select the "pencil" icon at the bottom of the screen;
3. Drag the horizontal slider from left to right with your finger to set the duration.

Manual adjustment for climate control

Here's how to change the manual control duration for climate control:

1. Select the room you want to control and open the "Room Screen";
2. Select the top of the screen to set the temperature, fan level, oscillation or desired mode;
3. Select the "check" mark in the top right corner of the screen to confirm the change;
4. Drag the horizontal slider from left to right with your finger to set the duration of the change.

Duration settings

You can choose from the following options:

1. Timer: allows you to specify a time interval (within 12 hours) during which manual control must remain active. When you set the timer, Tado° ignores all Smart Schedule and "Location" settings until manual control is complete.
2. Until the next time slot: This means that the settings in the "Smart Schedule" remain active until the start of the next time slot.
3. Until you resume planning: This means that the settings remain active until you finish manual control via the app. If you want to maintain a certain setting for a longer period, this is the best method. When you set Tado° to "Until you resume scheduling", Tado° ignores all "Smart scheduling" and "Geolocation" settings until you finish manual control. This option is only available for heating devices. If you want to end the manual control and allow Tado° to follow the "Smart Schedule", click the "Cancel" button.

You can customize the way Tado° manages your heating using 'Smart Planning' (whether anyone is home or no-one). Tado° can activate "Home" or "Away" modes. When in "Home" mode, Tado° applies the settings from the Home section of "Smart Schedule". However, when in "Away" mode, Tado° applies the settings selected in the "Away" section. In the event that, for a certain time slot of "Smart Planning", "Geolocation" has been disabled, Tado° will apply the settings chosen for that specific time slot, regardless of the mode in which "Home" or "Away" is set. ".

Your Tado° account has a standard "Smart Schedule" already activated. To modify and customize it, access the app screen relating to the room you are interested in and click on the "Smart planning" icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Each room's "Smart Schedule" has two sections: "Home" and "Away."

Configuration of the Home section

On the Home screen, it is possible to divide the daily period into several time intervals and define, for each of them, the desired settings, such as the temperature, in order to satisfy the needs of your routine. Tado° follows the settings defined in the Home section of "Smart Schedule", only when in Home mode.

To define Tado° 's schedule when in Home mode:

Choose the days to which the desired settings apply

There are three options:

• Apply the outlined settings for all days of the week;
• Apply certain settings for weekdays and others for weekends;
• Apply specific settings for each day of the week.

Note: You can outline different settings for each of the three options and switch between them as needed. You can choose, for example, Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun for the cold months (when greater heating activity is required). For the summer months, however, you can choose Mon-Sun, when heating is not necessary.

Add or change settings for each time slot in the schedule

Each day is indicated as a 24-hour period starting at 00:00 and ending at 24:00. The start and end times of the daily slot cannot be changed. The programming for a given day must have at least one time slot. If other time slots are added they must last at least 15 minutes. To add a time slot, click "Add Time Slot", located below each line of time slots. When you add a time slot, you can choose the start and end time. If the time range of the new time slot overlaps with the existing time slots, the app will automatically adjust, or delete the existing time slots accordingly. It is also possible to modify or delete time slots from the programming.

Copy and paste the schedule between rooms

To heat rooms, you can copy and paste "Smart Schedule" settings between rooms by simply doing the following:

1. Click on the "Copy/Paste" icon in the upper right corner of the room screen of your choice, next to the gear icon;
2. Select one or more rooms for which you would like to copy your programming;
3. Confirm your choice.

These actions will replace all existing schedules in the selected rooms with the current room's schedule. Please note that copying and pasting schedules will affect the following:

• Type of programming chosen;
• Existing time slots (temperature, hours, geolocation control) "Away" settings (minimum value for Away temperature and preheat before returning for Auto-Assist users);
• Setting "Early Start".

The copied schedules remain independent of each other. Making changes later to one will not affect the other. It is not possible to copy and paste schedules between rooms with "Smart climate control".

Copy and paste schedules between days

You can copy and paste your "Smart Schedule" settings between days by simply doing the following:

• Press the "Copy" icon in the lower left corner of the day you want to copy the schedule from;
• Press the "Paste" icon on the day you want to paste the schedule.

These actions will replace the existing schedule from the day you pasted with the schedule from the day you copied from. You can copy a day's schedule and paste it into another schedule type (Mon-Sun/Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun, etc.).

You can also copy the schedule for a given day in one room and paste it to another day in another room. You can, however, copy heating schedules only from another room with a heating schedule. The same applies to the cooling and hot water schedules. The "Paste" action is not reversible. Furthermore, the copied programming remains independent of each other. Subsequent modification of one does not affect the others.

Enable or disable geolocation for the time slot

"Geolocalization" is active by default for each time slot. To disable it, click on the time slot and access the "Advanced settings" section.

Configuration of the Away section

Tado° follows the settings defined in the "Away" section of "Smart Planning", only when in Away mode. For rooms dedicated to heating, you can set a minimum value for the Away temperature, the lowest value the internal temperature can reach when tado° is in Away mode.

If "Auto-Assist" is enabled, you can also find this setting in this section: "Preheat before returning". Tado° will automatically determine the ideal Away temperature for you when in Away mode.

You can choose between three available preheat levels: "Eco", "Balanced" or "Comfort". Tado° also identifies the most appropriate time to start heating your home, so as to reach the temperature set in "Smart planning" in time for your return.

If a Home user has manually set Tado° to "Away" or "Home" mode, "Automatic geolocation" and the "Preheat before returning" function will be deactivated. To re-enable "Automatic geolocation" and the "Preheat before returning" function, Tado° must be set to automatic mode again. If the "Preheat before returning" function is set to "OFF", Tado° maintains the minimum "Away" temperature when in Away mode.

To change a time slot, click on the slot to access the settings. By changing the time slot, you can choose the start and end time. If the time range of the new time slot overlaps with the existing time slots, the app will automatically adjust accordingly or delete the existing time slots.

Keep the heating on or off

If you keep the heating off, Tado° will automatically set your system to anti-freeze function (5 °C). If you keep it on, you can set the preferred temperature for each time slot.

Set the start and end times of the time slot

You can do this directly from the "Smart Programming" screen. Simply click, tap and drag the time slot to the right or left. Note: the start time of the first time slot and the end of the last are fixed and cannot be changed.

Enable or disable geolocation for the time slot

You can do this by going to the "Advanced Settings" screen. Geolocation is active by default for each time slot.

Clear the time slot

You can also do this from the "Smart Programming" screen. Click and hold on the time slot, then drag it to the right until the trash can icon appears and release.

Thanks to the "Antifreeze" function, Tado° ensures that the heating system does not suffer damage if the temperature drops below zero. In fact, very low temperatures risk causing the pipes to freeze or even break, thus causing damage to the heating system. To avoid these problems, Tado° ensures that the internal temperature never drops below 5°C, even when the heating is turned off.
