My thermostat stopped working

My thermostat stopped working, so my heating is on permanently. Went on chat (which is rubbish), sent a complaint 2 weeks ago and no-one has bothered responding to me. Absolute joke.

Great product for zone heating

Great product for zone heating, saving 10 to 15% energy every month with the smart radiator thermostats. Only heating the parts of the house we needed to. Especially good for keeping the bedroom warm for our newborn and not having to heat the rest of the house at the same time.

System has worked really well since install after 12 months use. Some of the radiator units have needed a reset but this has only been a few times over the course of a year. I moved away from Nest because of the google takeover and loss of remote control that they introduced and with the added radiator controls, the system as a whole is much better. Especially the home/away assist which although a subscription, does work very well

1/5 — I regret buying Tado, and you probably will too

I bought five Tado radiator thermostats, and one of them has never worked from day one. That alone was frustrating, but what followed was far worse: Tado’s customer support is genuinely some of the worst I’ve dealt with.

I went through every reset, workaround, and “try this” script they threw at me — not once, but with two different support agents. Hours wasted, zero progress, and absolutely no ownership from their side. Instead of simply replacing the one faulty unit, they dragged me through pointless troubleshooting that led nowhere.

At first, I just wanted a refund or exchange for the single defective thermostat. After dealing with their support, I honestly wish I could return all five. The hardware might be fine when it works, but the moment something goes wrong, you’re on your own.

If you’re considering Tado, think twice. A smart home product is only as good as the support behind it — and in Tado’s case, that support is nonexistent.

Hello Nikolaj,

Thanks to the provided information, we managed to find both conversations you started with our support. The first one was only led by our support bot, which ended due to the bot not receiving an answer to the last question it asked, while in the second one, one of our support agents reached out, but sadly also never received a response, so the case was left unresolved.

For this reason, we kindly ask you to try contacting our support team again, and this time, if you'd like to speak to a team representative sooner, and the help chatbot provides is not sufficient, please know you can request it, and later, please keep in mind to always check the spam folder as well to make sure our email is not missed as your responses are very valuable to us for proper investigation and troubleshooting.

Kind regards,
Your tado° team

Original Nest to Tado

After changing from the original nest thermostat to the Tado was very easy and the Tado app is superb. Easy to navigate and full of detail. A year on and glad I made the move.

I have 5 devices from the tado° V3+…

I have 5 devices from the tado° V3+ series.
I am very happy with their operation, the way they are adjusted through the application, and with the data of the room temperatures that I see either from my mobile or from my laptop.
However, I have a serious complaint.
1 of the devices was constantly losing its signal. I thought it was the device's fault and got a new one.
The problem still exists.
I searched the internet and was led to the tado page that advised for large houses (my house is 200m2) that it is recommended to have 2 Internet Bridges. It only referred to the X models, something I did not notice.
So I bought a second Internet Bridge.
Unfortunately, the V3+ models do not accept a second Internet Bridge.
I started trying to put the device in various places in the house. However, I always lost 1 Smart Radiator Thermostat.
finally a friend of mine who is an electronics guy opened the Internet Bridge and attached an external antenna. I can send you a photo. He also made me a wall mount on a 3D printer.
now everything works perfectly.
I think tado should have had the solution. equal to a bridge with a better signal (like I did it myself with advice from the internet), or a second bridge.
I would definitely recommend it to new customers but the X series.
sorry for my English, google translation.

Avoid

I bought Tado because they had sponsored many YouTube videos promoting their products with OpenTherm. I have an OpenTherm boiler, and invested HEAVILY in Tado to get OpenTherm. After fitting, I found that OpenTherm had been quietly removed from their UK product. I was seriously cheesed off, but had now bought an entire Tado system with many many TRVs.
But at least I could integrate it with Home Assistant and make my heating as efficient as possible. NOW Tado have started rate limiting their API logins - so most of the time this doesn't work either.
In fact, if Tado turn off their cloud service, OR START CHARGING A SUBSCRIPTION, you're system will become useless / expensive.
I feel seriously shafted by Tado. I will never buy their products again!

Hello George,

We kindly ask you to contact our support team with the details of the products you've purchased so that they can provide you with the appropriate explanation when it comes to the control possibilities each device can offer and the reasoning behind it, as nothing has been suddenly removed.

Regarding API, while never officially supported for third parties, we’ve historically left our REST API open and unrestricted. We believe in fair use, and we intend to continue supporting that principle.

Our involvement in implementing this limitation is an exceptional need, as we have experienced a small fraction of very frequent API users creating a disproportionately high share of our server expenses.

If you can't optimize your setup to work within the limit for non-paying users, you have the option of using the subscription or one of the officially supported integrations we offer.

Kind regards,
Your tado° team

Have requested assistance via Support

Have requested assistance via Support. Sent all the details they requested and then they ended the conversation saying they will email me. They haven't and I do not have the option to start a new support case. I like the product but the support is dreadful.

Hello Paul,

Without the requested information, sadly, we cannot find the conversation regarding this issue and conduct an investigation into it. For this reason, we kindly ask you to try contacting our support once again from a different email address — this should enable starting a new case, explaining exactly what happened, and asking to talk directly to a team representative for our chatbot to redirect the ticket properly this time.

We apologize truly for any inconvenience that might have been caused by us, as our only goal is to assist all our customers as best as possible.

Best regards,
Your tado° team

My TADO X has been OFFLINE for the past…

My TADO X has been OFFLINE for the past 24 hours. I tried ALL the advice provided in the TADO Chatbot which is clear. However, my TADO X is STILL OFFLINE, after having rebooted the internet several times. It is USELESS to have to be so reliant on a Chatbot and not have any human being to speak to. Had l known had bad the customer support was, I would have never proceeded with TADO. I am still OFFLINE. I have replied to an email sent to me by TADO this morning and still do not have a reply. I am hoping my plumber will be able to come round in the next few days to fix the issue. It will cost money. I am hugely angry.

1000€ of tado hardware, useless 1.5 year later.

Bought TRVs for my entire home plus a thermostat, around €1000 total.

For about a year, everything worked well with Home Assistant. Then Tado introduced API changes that effectively broke this setup. The new limit of 100 API requests per day applies to the entire account, not per device, which is extremely restrictive for a multi-room smart heating system.

In practice, my system now works for a few hours, then hits the limit and stops updating for the rest of the day. Re-authentication also appears to count toward the same limit, so once it fails, it cannot be restored until the next day.

As a software developer myself, I understand APIs have costs. However, the data volume here is minimal. Tado's explanation that API costs are "higher than anticipated" doesn't add up with their €1000+ pricing, which is significantly higher than many competitors.

This leaves three possibilities, none reassuring:

1: Server infrastructure is inefficient - the API costs more to run than it should for such low data volume

2: Sales margins are too thin - they can't cover reasonable API costs despite premium pricing (which you'd expect to deliver a better experience)

3: Costs are overstated - the real goal is pushing subscriptions or newer hardware versions

Whichever it is, the result is the same: core functionality removed from already purchased devices... Premium priced devices! I had never imagined spending 1000€ of TRVs - but here we are. And now they dont work.

Trust gone. I would not buy from Tado again, and I recommend anyone to look elsewhere.

Absolutely terrible device…

Absolutely terrible device…. doesn’t work as expected and impossible to get in touch with customer services. If I’d known how difficult it was to control the heating I’d never have bought it. My friend has a device called “ember” far superior
