tado° Multi-Zone Control lets you manage each heating zone in your home independently through a single app. Simply replace your existing wall thermostats with a tado° Smart Thermostat X (wired or wireless). Each zone gets its own Smart Schedule, remote control, and energy-saving automations, so you only heat the areas that actually need it.
It’s easy to use tado° across multiple heating zones. You can control your existing zones smartly and individually using your smartphone. Simply replace each of your original wall thermostats with tado°. No need for a professional installer.
Many houses (especially in the UK) use a multi zone heating system. Typically, there are two zones, such as the ground floor and the first floor. Each zone has its own wall thermostat, which measures and controls the temperature for that floor. The thermostat controls a heating zone valve. The valve opens or closes the hot water flow to that zone. This zoned heating system allows you to heat different areas independently – meaning you’ll only send heat where it is actually needed.
Standard thermostats can be used to control zones. However, manual thermostats are now considered outdated. You have to adjust each zone right there at the wall. There’s no app or central overview, and without dynamic schedules, you’ll still be wasting energy.
Switching to tado° is very simple. You don’t need to move any pipes or knock down any walls. You’re simply making your existing system smart by replacing your old devices one for one.

Let’s look at heating systems in detail to understand how they work.
Your heating system has three main components:
Your home has two or more zones, for example the ground floor and the first floor. Each floor is controlled by its own wall thermostat, which might be wired or wireless.
One single heating circuit controls your entire house.
Sometimes a room is not supposed to activate the central boiler. This is the case when there are separate circuits for underfloor heating and radiators.
Are you looking to save even more energy and further boost your comfort? With Smart Radiator Thermostats in every room, you can convert your Multi-Zone setup into Multi-Room setup. This means a completely individualised room control system. Thanks to Room Link, all your tado° devices coordinate intelligently. This allows you to control each room individually. The result: optimal heat distribution, zero waste and maximum comfort.

Ready to give your heating zones a smart upgrade?
Replace your existing setup in just a few minutes with tado°.
There is no specific device called a "Zone Controller." It is a role you assign to a Smart Thermostat X or a Wireless Receiver X using the app. Up to 10 rooms can communicate with one Zone Controller.
Yes. Underfloor heating and radiators often work as separate circuits. You can set rooms to work independently by selecting "No Zone Controller" through the app.
No. The Wireless Receiver X is usually the central link to the boiler. All the sensors in the house will connect to this one receiver. You only need multiple controls if you have physically separate circuits with their own valves.
Yes. tado° integrates underfloor heating into a multi-zone system. Simply replace your existing wall thermostat with a tado° thermostat. You can use the app to set whether this room runs as a separate zone or is linked to other rooms. Important: If you have a wired system, you do not need a wireless receiver.
