Support current and more recent Vaillant eBus controllers
Tado asserts the benefits of modulating boiler control and touts compatibility with Valiant and eBus. However, the reality is rather grim. It turns out that as of 2019-03 eBus is only supported in these scenarios using the now discontinued VR65 controller. No other controllers are supported (VR66 for example). This means…

Please bring back “Until next automatic change” in the app manual mode
With the release of App version 5.11 that aligns the UI of V3 and V3+ You have have removed a feature that I found really useful. With the old app I could set a temperature in manual “Until next automatic change”. It would remain in this mode until either a Smart Schedule event occurred, OR I LEFT HOME, see image. With the…

Hot water monitoring & Tado hot water tank thermostat
Hi, I'd like to be able to monitor our hot water, so I can see when the hot water is requesting heat from the boiler and ideally see the temp of our cylinder tanked hot water. The app shows simply off and on. We have the Extension Kit controlling our heating and hot water. There is no way of telling when the hot water has…

Different Scenarios for Heating Schedules
Loving the Tado (but hating the 10 room limit) and I would like to make a heating scenario suggestion. This is to allow simple, perhaps temporary, changes to the heating schedule according to a set programme based on scenarios. The current way of working is to set up one scenario of daily heating and any changes require…

Changes to the Firmware Update System
Instead of having to contact support to see if an update is available and getting a massive statement about "staged rollouts" and allowing you to "address issues early" - I still think the app should show if updates are available but state that it's rolling out, and then people won't have to contact support to see if…

Hot water temperature monitor via extension kit
My heating system is the hot water storage type where a larger tank is used to store hot water for heating the radiators and hot water supplied via a heat exchanger. The tank is heated by a solar panel on the roof and a wood burning stove. Backup heating is via a gas boiler, which is controlled by Tado. It would be good if…

Bring back Modulation (OpenTherm) to their wireless thermostat (UK)
Currently only the wired version supports modulation (OpenTherm) where as the wireless version in the UK ONLY does not support modulation. The EU version does. I think Tado should bring the EU version features to the UK product. It's essential for energy saving and would add more competition to the market and make Tado…

Feature To Assist With Balancing Radiators
Create a feature using the inbuilt thermometer in the radiator valves to work out order to balance radiators. It could work out time to temp for each radiator and advise you if there are any getting hotter slower/quicker.

Device grouping
Be able to group devices in to zones/areas Rather than having to turn all devices on if needed set a group for example downstairs/upstairs or whole house which would turn the grouped devices to the same settings

Allow additional schedules in addition to Home and Away
It would be great if it was possible to have additional schedules in Tado. I’d like if you were able to add additional schedules, such as “day shift” and “night shift” or “staycation”, so you can easily change schedules to meet your requirements. For example it I found i needed to change my normal schedule to account for…

Support for multiple tado installations linked to 1 account
Please can we have proper support to enable management and control of multiple tado installations via the one account/email I stay at several locations and manage others as a landlord. When email notifications arrive they do not indicated which home they are for. Logging in/out of multiple accounts is awkward when you want…

Auto valve calibration
I've occasionally noticed radiators getting warm when they should be off due to the valve needing recalibration. It would be useful if the valves periodically auto callibrated (which would also serve as an anti-seize function) or could auto detect if they temp was unexpectedly rising and trigger a calibration.
-
allow changing the name of devices
Please allow us to change the names of devices to make it easier to identify them. For example, getting an email that tells me: "We have noticed that the batteries in your Smart Radiator Thermostat VA*******048 in the zone ****** are running low." I have 15 devices and if each device had a name I wouldn't have to waste…

Geofencing by person
In a multi-person household, geofencing could be tailored so that one person leaving could adjust part of the house leaving the rest heated for those remaining inside. So if I go out, for example, the room I use most of the time could be left unheated, but other rooms still follow their usual schedule.

"Boiler-on" indicator on Home Screen
It would be helpful to have an easy way to tell if the boiler is being called upon or not - as it can affect radiators that do not behave independently and also help in understanding the general picture when it comes to fuel consumption. Currently, the only way to do this is to review each and every tile to see if any of…

”Slow start” feature for less thermal stress
Opening the radiator valve fully with a cold system might cause unnecessary thermal stress on the system (and noise due to thermal expansion). Ramping up the valve for a short time might reduce the stress. I suggest a feature in line with “early start” called “slow start” to automatically ramp up the opening of the valve…

V3+ App Concept
I’ve created a concept of what our household, would like the V3+ app design to look like. Fonts, Icons, Size of Icons, Alignment, Heat Request & Set/Current Temperatures are just examples so may not be correctly placed or accurate. All just for representational purposes. I might add current room humidity to the tiles later…

Setting to keep the valves fully open in summer
Usually the response how to set all thermostats in summer is to set OFF - but this is wrong, spring of the valve is pressed whole summer and can get stuck when heating season is back and also this reduce "the life" of the valve. Now, there is no way in the app to set all valves to fully open state for summer, I had to…

Integrate Enerqy IQ with smart meters

Heating graphs on webpage
It would be really useful if the webpage could show the heating graphs that can be viewed on the phone app. It could also be useful to be able to download the graph data in some form.

Show battery status in the app
Would it not be possible to make the app do it's possible to see battery status. That's possible in other of my smart home units It's annoying that i can't see when it's time to put me battery in, so have to change often as i normalt travel very often when it's not Corona time

Scheduled "Call for heat"
atm we have the option to enable or disable a zone controller, and this stops the room calling for heat from the boiler. But, I think due to the cost of living crisis around the world atm, it would be a good option if Tado˚ could move this option to the Scheduling screen. My idea would be for each time block in the…

A manually set temperature overrides the schedule. Let us know here if you don’t want this
I raised the following with Tado: If you indicate by geofencing that you are not at home, the heating will stop according to schedule, but not by manual settings. In other words, if you manually set the heating higher than according to the schedule and then leave, the heating will remain on. I find this very impractical…

Thread
Thread is the future of smart home connectivity and will also help people struggling with Tado range issues. Thread should also help grow network size without overwhelming the system as it becomes more resilient.

Temp/Humidity graph improvements
Please consider the following Temperature graph improvements... add increased resolution grid lines, ie. 1 degree and hourly coloured line showing set temperature join each 24hr section. No gap, same vertical grid resolution add to PC version app Thanks

Android & iOS Widget
Now that iOS also supports widgets, it would be useful to be able to have widgets on both Android and iOS phones so that you can set the temperature for a period of time. For example: Set the temperature in the widget to 23 degrees for 15mins

API Integration for Energy IQ
I use the energy provider Octopus In the UK, and they provide me with an API key for my account that can be used for getting meter readings and other things. It would be so good if, in Energy IQ, I could put in the API key so that the meter reading were added automatically.

Disable open window detection when heating switched off
The tado° app currently provides notification of open windows, even if all Smart Thermostats / Smart Radiator Thermostats are set to Frost Protection. This is clearly pointless, and just annoying. It would be better to only provide the open window notification when the thermostats are set to a temperature that might…
