How can I optimise my Smart Schedule?
Using the Smart Schedule, you can personalise what tado° should do when someone is at home and when no one is at home.
Your tado° Home can be either in Home or Away Mode.
Geofencing allows your tado° Home to switch between the two modes based on the location of your household members.
If you have an Auto-Assist subscription, you can automate the feature so that Home and Away Modes apply immediately once the app recognises that all members have left the house.
When in Home Mode, tado° applies the settings that you've specified in the Home tab of your Smart Schedule.
When in Away Mode, it applies those that you've specified in the Away tab of your Smart Schedule.
Can I turn Geofencing off for a specific time block in my Smart Schedule?
Yes. If you have tado° V3+ devices, you can use the Geofencing switch to turn Geofencing off for a specific time block in your Smart Schedule.
Can I change the Mode manually at any time?
Yes. You can switch between Home and Away Mode manually at any time in the tado° app.
Please note that, as a manual Mode change, Geofencing will override other settings, such as your Smart Schedule.
To change the Mode manually, follow these steps:
Open the tado° app.
Select Geofencing on the Home Screen.
Select Home or Away.
If you have an Auto-Assist subscription, you’ll also have the Auto option. Select it to let tado° switch between Home and Away automatically.
How can I make sure Geofencing works correctly?
For Geofencing to work correctly, check that your device has the recommended settings.
