FAQs
Can I install the tado° Smart Thermostat myself?
Yes, the starter kit is designed for self-installation, often replacing existing controls. However, if you are uncomfortable with wiring, professional installation by a qualified engineer is recommended.
Does tado° work without Wi-Fi?
The tado° system requires a Wi-Fi connection for remote control via the app and for advanced features like geofencing. Basic scheduling may function locally, but full smart capabilities depend on internet connectivity.

Is there a subscription fee for tado°?
The basic functions like scheduling and remote control are free. Some advanced features, such as Auto-Assist (Automatic Home/Away Assist) and detailed energy reports, may require a subscription.

Typically, tado° offers a two-year warranty. Please refer to the product documentation or tado° website for the most current warranty information.
Can I control multiple tado° devices in different rooms?
Yes, you can add additional Smart Thermostats or tado° Radiator Thermostats to your system via the app to control different heating zones independently.
