How tado° controls your heating

Several features are unique to tado°; the most significant feature is the location-based-control function, which allows tado° to automatically turn the heating down or even off when the last person leaves home, and begins to warm it up again when it detects someone returning. tado° also adapts your heating profile not only to the weather forecast, but it learns over time how to heat your building as efficiently as possible. Most importantly, tado° is by far the most compatible solution for climate control in Europe, and is able to efficiently regulate almost every heating system.

tado° not only saves over the location-based control; you can create time blocks in the Smart Schedule and even control multiple rooms individually. Additionally, tado° uses the local weather forecast and the characteristics of your building to determine how to heat efficiently. This benefits residential houses or larger apartments in particular.

In short: No. tado° only turns down the heating to the point where energy will be saved and not wasted. Additionally, tado° learns to adapt to the characteristics of your building.

No, because the tado° app uses the most battery-efficient method to determine your position, so GPS is only called upon in exceptional cases. If you have deactivated the GPS function permanently, tado° uses other means such as WIFI or information from the mobile network to roughly determine how far you are from home. We have optimised the power consumption of the tado° app over the years so that it uses only the bare minimum.
