Home Screen - Flag/highlight rooms currently on manual override

It would very useful to see on the Home Screen which rooms, if any, have been set manually using the app or, more likely, a radiator control (I.e. and, therefore, are not following the schedule).

On too many occasions, I’ve discovered a family member or visitor has adjusted a radiator control, which has defaulted to ‘until you cancel’. The result being the heating has been on permanently for a few days (until I notice something’s not right)! Had the Home Screen alerted me to the schedule having been overridden, I could have acted sooner.

Perhaps the manual setting indication could be a colour fill for the room tile, or a tile border highlight, or an icon?

I know one can set the duration of manual controls using a slider in the app. I’ve done this for all controls - setting to ‘until next time block’. But, for some reason, some radiator controls seem to revert to ‘until you cancel’. Maybe that’s a separate issue?

  • Indeed: Tado could add an icon to the tile on the home screen, for example a Hand icon to show the room is set manually. Just like Tado shows an OFF icon when the room has been turned off. Sometimes a room is too hot or too cold. Only after opening the room, you can see the choice “Resume schedule”.
