Your tado° account comes with a default Smart Schedule already set up.
To personalise your Smart Schedule, go to the Room Screen of your choice in the tado° app and tap the Smart Schedule icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Each room’s Smart Schedule has 2 different sections: Home and Away.
Defining Home settings
In the Home tab, you can divide your day into multiple time blocks and specify custom settings, like temperature, for each of these blocks, based on your daily routine.
tado° applies the settings specified in the Home tab of the Smart Schedule whenever it is in Home Mode.
To set up your schedule for when tado° is in Home Mode:
1. Select the days for which you want to set a specific schedule.
You have three scheduling options:
Set the same schedule for all the days of the week.
Set one schedule for the weekdays and a different one for the weekend.
Set a different schedule for every day of the week.
Tip: You can set up different settings for each of the three scheduling options and switch between them as needed. For instance, you could have Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun for colder months, when you need more active heating. Then, you could set Mon-Sun for summer when you want your heating to remain passive.
2. Add or modify time blocks in your schedule.
Each day’s schedule is shown as a bar of 24 hours that starts at 00:00 and ends at 24:00. The starting point of the first time block and endpoint of the last time block are fixed and cannot be changed. The schedule for a day must have at least one time block and each additional time block must be at least 15 minutes long.
To add a time block, tap on Add time block below each row of blocks. When adding the time block, you can choose the start and end time. If the new block’s time range overlaps with existing time blocks, the app will automatically adjust or delete the existing time blocks accordingly.
You can also edit or delete time blocks from your schedule.
3. Copy and paste schedules between rooms.
For heating rooms, you can copy and paste your Smart Schedule settings between rooms by simply doing the following:
Tap on the copy/paste icon in the upper right corner of the Room Screen of your choice, next to the gear icon.
Select one or more rooms that you’d like to copy your schedule to, then
Confirm your choice.
This will replace existing schedules in the selected rooms with the schedule of the current room.
Please be aware that copying/pasting schedules will affect the following:
Selected schedule type
Existing time blocks (temperature, times, Geofencing Control)
Away settings (Minimum Away Temperature and Preheat Before Arrival for Auto-Assist users)
Early Start setting
Please note: the source and target schedules remain independent of each other. Making changes to one later, does not affect the other ones.
It is not possible to copy and paste schedules between rooms with the Smart AC Control.
4. Copy and paste schedules between days.
You can copy and paste your Smart Schedule settings between days by simply doing the following:
Select the copy icon in the bottom left corner of the day you’d like to copy your schedule from, then
select the paste icon on the day you’d like to paste your schedule to.
This will replace the existing schedule of the day you pasted to with the schedule of the day you copied from.
You can copy a day’s schedule and paste it to a day in another schedule type (Mon-Sun/ Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun, etc.).
You can also copy a day’s schedule in a room and paste it to a day in another room. However, you can only copy heating schedules from another heating room. The same applies for cooling and hot water schedules.
Please note: the paste action is not reversible. Also, the source and target schedules remain independent of each other. Making changes to one later, does not affect the other ones.
5. Enable or disable Geofencing for your time blocks.
Geofencing is enabled for every time block by default. To disable this, tap on the time block and go to Advanced Settings.
Defining Away settings
tado° applies the settings specified in the Away tab of the Smart Schedule whenever tado° is in Away Mode.
For your rooms with heating, you can set a Minimum Away Temperature, which is the lowest temperature tado° will allow your room to drop to when tado° is in Away Mode.
If the Auto-Assist Skill is activated, you can also find the Preheat Before Arrival setting here. tado° will then automatically determine the ideal Away Temperature for when it is in Away Mode.
You can choose between the three available levels of preheating: Eco, Balance or Comfort. tado° will also determine the best time to start heating your home in order to reach the temperature set in the Smart Schedule in time for your arrival.
Please note: If a Home member has manually set tado° to Away or Home Mode, automatic Geofencing and Preheat Before Arrival will be deactivated. To reactivate automatic Geofencing and Preheat Before Arrival, tado° has to be switched back to Auto.
If Preheat Before Arrival is set to off, tado° maintains the Minimum Away Temperature when it is in Away Mode.
