Lock for smart thermostat

Dannyboy99

Hi,

Not sure if this has been suggested in the past, however a lock of the smart thermostat for me would be a great idea. I have one in my living room, and my daughter is constantly fiddling with it. On top of this, my sister in law is constantly blasting thw heating up to max when thete is no need. Being able to lock and unlock this via the app, would be a great addition, in my opinion.

Agreed, I have a similar problem. I know radiator controls can be locked, I want the smart thermostat to be locksble

@GrayDav4276 Only Smart Radiators support 'child lock' feature.

Whilst there isn't a child lock for the smart thermostat, as a workaround, if you go to Rooms & Devices from Settings and select the smart thermostat, you can set the "Manual Control on tado device" at the top of the screen to "Timer" and select a very short time. That way the manual setting caused by fiddling fingers will only last a few minutes at a time. The minimum is one minute. Not ideal but it should help.

I agree not ideal - is a child lock feature something that will be added in the near future? It surely wouldn't be difficult!

This would be very useful, have Tado accepted as an enhancement opportunity?

I would like to follow the advice above from 'Heatexpert', but the option "Manual Control on tado device" doesn't appear for me on Tado X

Nevermind - I found the option. It is on the room rather than the device.

@JDonohoe where did you find a child lock option for the thermostat please?

I made exactly this suggestion in another thread. I can't find any way to child lock the thermostat or the wireless sensors. The option is only visible for TRVs, for me.
