System works as expected, when WiFi is not interrupted. It would be useful to have a warning when signal is blocked - - - - - - don't put metal cans on a shelf in the signal path.

Terrible system. AVOID, use something else!

Terrible system. Costing me a fortune in gas. Main controller doesn't respond to controls from the app, and stays on for hours after it's been showing as 'off' in the app. I've had to switch off the boiler manually many times. The wireless thermostats constantly disconnect even after moving the receiver into the Tado suggested optimal location. They also ignore controls from the app and don't switch or off when adjusted. Customer service refuses to believe anything is wrong, even though I've explained in great detail many times and followed their suggested instructions each time.

Customer service slow

Customer service when there was an issue was very slow, and by email, so having to wait for their response each time. When controls aren’t working it was too slow. Actually ended up giving up and moving to Hive

Easy to use, saves money.

Easy to setup. Very easy to use with either app, wall control or Alexa. Keeps the heat much more stable than my last thermostat and has saved me nearly 20 percent on my heating costs so far this month. Glad I bought it.

Good experience despite aggressive subscription policy

I was pleasantly surprised about perceived quality. I had Netatmo before and while it was arguably more beautiful design, they just stopped working due to quality. So hope these will last... And I love matter compatibility. Also they are really silent compared to netatmo.

Nothing but trouble

Nothing but trouble. Thermostats unreliable, one trv loves to show target/actual as 18/24 and it still belts out heat. Others just don't move when you change the temp, so the room gets really hot (this is after checking the pin, restarting the trv etc). Just really frustrating since I bought it.

Excellent product and service

I’m not confident at DIY so I needed a bit of advice for the Tado support team regarding replacing my existing heating and hot water system controls with my new Tado wireless system.

Igor was so patient and helpful with all my questions. I hope this review results in him getting some recognition for his exemplary customer service.

The service received will definitely ensure I will return to Tado for any purchases.

Ironically, the system was pretty straightforward to fit and the only issue was my lack of confidence.

Thank you Igor

Poor management decisions

They reduced API usage to an unreasonably low level and their local homekit API doesn't expose the things one needs to automate stuff locally. Worked fine for years, what a pity.

If the following were made available over the local API, then the remote API would be unnecessary:

- window open detection
- heating level -> percentage the valve is on
- home and away -> At least allow setting/reading home or away locally, and then it could sync to the cloud if needed.

Alternatively, provide enough API calls per device that one owns so one can still use the existing API in a reasonable manner.

Hello Jonathan,

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

An alarming situation but, after much worry, with a good outcome

After a very alarming and worrying 24 hours, one of tado's technical team amended details giving me access to my account.
I received an email from tado on 31 March stating a structural update to their app, including introducing an Admin user for each tado Home. My home's tado had been installed in 2015 by my now late-husband. The email showed his details as the Admin user, meaning I could not update the account. From the UK you can't phone or email customer support : the only method is via a web-based chat bot. The bot could not help and advised I'd be emailed. Fortunately, today, once I had email contact with the customer support team and explained the circumstances, they were both helpful and sympathetic and updated my account, making me Admin user.
