I have a Tado system with 17 radiators valves attached through a Tado bridge. I would like to attach one of those valve to my Homey Pro to enable it to be switched on and off by a Zigbee presence detector. Who can help me to a step by step process description? ---

Step 1. Install one of the Tado apps from the Athom app store. Step 2. Add the valve to Homey via the app. Step 3. Create a Flow that’s triggered by the presence sensor to switch the valve on. Step 4. Create a Flow that is triggered by no presence to turn the valve off. Then let us know at what point you have difficulty and what problems you encounter. ---

Thanks for your replies. @Robertklep: I did try several times, but failed. @Adrian_Rockall : I failed at step 2: After starting the Tado-app in Home, I selected the “smart radiator valve” icon. Next, I get a picture showing a valve with a blue button at the bottom saying: “Install”. Next , I get a screen saying : “Select the device which you wish to add”. Below that, a white screen with an error message in the middle: “Invalid refresh token: (and the two lines of uninterrupted characters)”. At the bottom of that screen just a blue button saying: “Close”. And that’s it. I would not know how to proceed from there. ---

It should have asked you to login to your Tado account at some point. What version of the app have you installed? ---

@Adrian_Rockall : First: have an excellent 2024. Second: Did you have a change to look at my question? I have still not been able to add the valve. Thanks ahead. ---

I’m using the Athom app ![Screenshot_20240101_162851_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/1/117aa19d5c814e9324ce08ff445e850b4af7b2f7.jpeg) As you can see I have all my tado thermostats in there. Edit, although I have just noticed it us no longer in the store. ---

Solved it! I had Tado V1.1.3 active and when I saw your version (3.1.13) I concluded mine needed an update. So I dumped my app and reloaded it through Homey. I immediately saw that the version was still the same, so your app had to be a developer version. BUT … my new app appears to work. So thank you, you put me on the right track. ---

Wondering the benefits of this version over the 1.1.3 Athom version? Can you share some info on that Adrian? ---

I’m not sure. I have been using the Athom version for years and it has been updated a few times, so not even sure when I got this version. I know the geofencing was removed at some point but that’s all I remember. I use to turn on and off the radiator in the lounge when the patio doors are open and it does that OK so I’ve not looked at it. ---

Yeah I saw other people note the version you showed as not being on the normal app store. See here; [Homey Pro 201x - Firmware Updates - #36 by Peter\_Kawa](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-201x-firmware-updates/54910/36?page=2) (need to scroll a bit) But not sure what that means hahaha. Im still a rookie when it comes to Homey but I never mind trying out new things hahah. ---

It’s in the appstore for quite a while already > **[tadoZones](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.verbem.tadoZones/tadoZones/)** > > Tado Zones > [@Patrick\_Dankers](#): > > Wondering the benefits of this version over the 1.1.3 Athom version? Take a look here (the link to this topic is presented at the app store 's app page): [https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tado-community-app-with-geofence-capacity/63740](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tado-community-app-with-geofence-capacity/63740) - It is packed with features and functions - The dev is very active and supportive, which cannot always be said about Athom’s in-house app support - I use it since the release, very reliable app. - **One can install it _next to_ the Athom tado app to check it out.** ---
