Away suggestion silence if not heating
Our schedule is set to 12° during the day. The house is typically cooling slowly from 19°, and rarely gets below 17°.
Why does Tado feel the need to warn me that we're out and suggest setting Away Mode?
Each month it then tries to tell me that if only we paid for the upgrade, it could have automatically set Away Mode and saved us money.
But of course it would have had absolutely no impact. The system was not heating anyway, nor likely to before we returned. Or at least before it needs to start so that it is warm by the time we do return.
If we're all out and a heating time slot is active or soon to happen, then a warning makes sense and is useful. Otherwise it is silly and annoying and gives misleading reports.
