tado° Smart Thermostat tado° Extension Kit
• Measures temperature, humidity, noise & luminosity
• Displays the measured temperature and allows the adjustment
of operation and set point
• Controls heating when wired to the heating system
• Acts as a sensor and remote control when installed in combination with the
Extension Box (depends on the existing heating setup)
• Required for the replacement of hot water controlling programmers (UK only)
• Recommended for heating system setups without a room thermostat. The
Extension Box acts as a reciever; the Smart Thermostat as a wireless sensor and
remote control
• Controls heating based on sensor data from the tado° Smart Thermostat
• Typically installed next to the boiler or replacing an existing external controller
• Compatible with the UK standard backplate

Compatibility
tado° is compatible with almost all central heating systems, including:
• combi, system and heat-only boilers
• conventional and condensing boilers
• common Y-, S- and W-plan setups
• hydronic underoor systems
• electric underoor systems with a maximum switching current of 6 A
• air source and ground source heat pumps (heating only)
• zoned systems (one Smart Thermostat per zone)
• switched live systems
• potential free (dry contact) systems
• low voltage systems with analog interfaces
• low voltage systems with digital bus interfaces
tado°‘s compatibility with specic heating systems can be checked at

Compatibility
Model Predictive Control
tado° does not require presence or absence time programming. Patents have been
led for the algorithms which automatically adjust the heating output to the user‘s
needs. A building model is automatically created for each household which allows
tado°‘s proprietary model of predictive control to include weather forecasts in the
control strategy and therefore optimize energy usage and comfort at home.
Location Based Heating
The tado° Smart Thermostat controls the temperature automatically depending on the
residents location and distance from home and will only heat when it is really needed.
Encryption of Communication
Any communication between web browsers or smartphones and the tado° application
servers is encrypted with TLS 1.2 (SSL) Encryption with a 2048-bit Extended Validation
Certicate.
The communication between the tado° Bridge and the tado° Application Servers is
encrypted with TLS 1.2 (SSL) using 256-bit elliptical curve encryption.
The radio communication between the tado° devices uses AES-CCM encryption. The
key is exchanged by pairing the devices as part of the initial installation procedure.
Intelligence & Security
COMPATIBILITY CHECK
If tado° is bought online the compatibility is
checked during the installation process.
In cases where tado° is bought from an
installer, they will check the compatibility.

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 ame is shown, tado° is requesting heat from the
heating system. This does not necessarily mean that the boiler
will start immediately or that a ame 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 signicantly increase the
inside temperature of a room. Possible solar inuence 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.
