System Components – tado° Smart Thermostat
tado° Smart Thermostat
The tado° Smart Thermostat replaces existing thermostats
or acts as a wireless thermostat together with the tado°
Extension Box for heating systems that do not yet have a
thermostat. It measures room temperature and allows to
modify operation and set point temperature. If it is wired to
the boiler it directly controls the heating. If is is not wired, it
communicates to the boiler via the tado° Extension Box.
The tado° Smart Thermostat is powered by three AAA batte-
ries which are included in the package. The paper strip must
be removed from the thermostat to activate the power sup-
ply. Batteries typically last for two years. tado° will inform you
via email and/or push notification when it is time to replace
the batteries.
Correct Placement of the Smart Thermostat
In those cases where tado° Smart Thermostat does not replace an existing wired
thermostat, it can be placed in any appropriate location. When installing the Smart
Thermostat please observe the following points:
• place the Smart Thermostat in a location which is representative for the tempera-
ture which should be set. This is usually the living room
• place the Smart Thermostat on an inside wall at approx 1.5 m from the ground
• do not place the Smart Thermostat in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight
at any time of the day
• place the Smart Thermostat away from any draft (near a door or window) or hea-
ting sources such as radiators or electric devices

tado° Installation
tado° provides installation instructions specific to every heating setup. Those
instructions are provided as online webflow. This documentation at hand is no
replacement of these instructions and is a documentation of tado° devices and
features, not of the installation process itself.
WARNING:
While the self installation of the tado° system is possible, tado° strongly
recommends booking of a professional installation by one of our tado° installation profes-
sionals.
