Battery optimization settings can block data transmission between your mobile phone and tado° and therefore adversely affect the accuracy of tado°’s Geofencing.
On Samsung phones with Android 8 or higher, apps are by default unprotected from the sleep and battery optimization functions.
To turn these default settings off for the tado° app, follow these step-by-step instructions.
Disabling the sleep function for the tado° app
Please note: Samsung has not implemented this function in Android 9 (Pie).
If you’re using Android 8 and 10, please do the following:
Open the Settings on your mobile phone.
Enter the Device maintenance section.
Enter the Battery section.
Scroll down to enter the Unmonitored apps section.
Click on the Add apps button and select the tado° app.
Once the tado° app has been selected, click on the Done button.
