tado° – Manual & Technical Documentation V1.1
3
Heating Operations
There are three different heating operations.
Off:
When set to Off, tado° only heats when the room temperature drops below 5°C to
avoid frost damage.
Auto:
When set to Auto, tado° controls the heating based on the residents location and
schedule. It can be adjusted to the preferred home and sleep temperatures. The
optimal away temperature is set by tado° automatically depending on the residents‘
location.
Manual:
When set to Manual, tado° keeps the room temperature at the selected set
point temperature.
Hot Water Operations
The hot water functions of tado° are not supported by all heating systems. In the
application, the hot water functions are displayed only if the heating system supports
hot water control. For hot water there are four operations.
Off
: When set to Off, no hot water is prepared.
Auto
: When set to Auto, tado° prepares hot water according to anticipated need, eg.
based on the residents‘ location and statistical data about expected need.
Schedule
: When set to Schedule, tado° prepares hot water according to the settings
in the dedicated hot water schedule. It can be set in the web application.
Manual
: When set to Manual, tado° prepares hot water constantly.
Meaning of Selected Symbols
When a flame is shown, tado° is requesting heat from the
heating system. This does not necessarily mean that the boiler
will start immediately or that a flame is present. Modern boilers
apply additional control logic regarding when to switch on or off
in response to a heat request.
Similiar to a greenhouse, sunshine can significantly increase the
inside temperature of a room. Possible solar influence is shown
using the sun symbol in the report.
Functions
tado° has been developed for mobile phone and web use. The
settings are most easily controlled using the tado° mobile app.
It is available for iOS (> Version 7.1), Android (> Version 2.3) and
Window Phone (> Version 8.1). The app is free.
Besides the control of settings and management of data, the
tado° app also provides a detailed report of the heating history
and a feature to compute a savings estimate.
The tado° web app is accessible on computers and tablets and
contains the same features as the mobile app.
