Unfortunately that doesn‘t help

Weird, install the live version. The diagnostic does not show much either. Can you go to the app configuration and copy the log?

Dear all, I started recently with my Homey Pro, and made a successful connection with my Tado X thermostat. I made the coupling via Add Matter device and all devices show up reliable in my Homey Pro. I have installed now the Std. Tado app, and I’m considering adding the TadoZones app.
What my understanding is: (can someone confirm or correct what I learned so far)

  • My Homey Pro interacts with the Tado devices via local commands (over matter / thread)
  • Tado is planning to reduce the amount of API requests from 20k to 100 per day
  • That has no impact for me, since I have a local connection (local API?)
  • When adding TadoZones, I enter my Tado credentials and Homey will access the Tado cloud for status and settings (non-local API is used?)
  • TadoZones might eventually suffer from the limitation of 100 requests per day. (as I don’t have and plan to take a Tado subscription )

right? Thanks for reading and appreciate your reply.

Hi @Dijker , thanks (for moving my topic).
I’ve read as much as I can about Tado integration and API’s are new for me.
I tried to summarise in my post above what I learned, can you somehow comment on that so I know my thinking is correct? Thank you sir! :slight_smile:

Tadozones requires the 20K requests a day. So if you do not plan for a subscription, do not use it.
It will poll the Tado cloud for geolocation and heating capacity information, as an example.

Thank you Martin. That is a ballpark number I was looking for.

Hello!

I use tadoZones daily, thanks to the developer!

However, I’m having a problem with the “Sunday Schedule” task. When I add it to a feed to configure my Tado X to follow the Sunday schedule, nothing happens.

Perhaps I don’t understand its purpose, or maybe it’s simply not working?

I assume the Tado device (my Tado X) should follow the schedule set for Sunday as soon as I run the task, and revert to the normal schedule at the end of the day.

Also, I can see a parameter to follow Sunday schedules during Public Holidays. Which calendar does it follows? For which country?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I‘m using this app for integrating my Smart Radiator Thermostat X and Wireless Temperature Sensor X. Works great so far!

The only issue I‘ve seen is the Open Window sensor stays at „Yes“. Normally it should revert back to „No“ after tado continues heating.

Hi @Martin_Verbeek, thank you for the great app! Some suggestions to improve the German localisation of the app:

  • Tariff → Tarif

  • Erdgas Schätzung → Geschätzter Erdgasverbrauch

  • Zuhause Anwesenheit → Anwesenheit

  • Intelligenten Zeitplan folgen → Intelligentem Zeitplan folgen

  • Luftfeuchtigkeit Komfort → Luftfeuchtigkeitskomfort

  • Schätzung Verbrauch → Geschätzter Verbrauch

  • Sonntag Zeitplan aktiv → Sonntags-Zeitplan aktiv

I don’t quite get what Gradtage and Verbrauch pro Grad Tag means. If you give me a hint I can propose a German translation that’s easier to understand.

Gradtage is the difference between a reference temp, usually 18 and the outside temperature. So if 10 outside, you will have 8 degree days. With that you can make a historic consumption for a room or home per degree day. And based on that correlation a forecasted usage.

Translations have been applied in the next update.
