The tado° Home Manager app enhances your smart home experience by integrating advanced capabilities for your tado° Homes and Rooms, going beyond the features offered in the official Athom app. It provides seamless control over your home's climate, optimizing daily routines and ensuring a comfortable living environment. Including the ability to trigger flows based on home presence modes.
Standout features include: Home/Away mode triggers and action support, Resume schedule & Boost button support, EnergyIQ capability, Weather & AirComfort features etc.
Starting from the latest version, this app has updated its authentication method to use tado°'s new device code flow. This change was required due to tado° deprecating the previous password authentication method.
-
New Authentication Process: When adding a new device or if your existing device needs to re-authenticate, you'll see a new login screen with a verification code.
-
How to Authenticate:
- You'll be shown a verification code and a link to tado°'s website
- Visit the link on any device (phone, tablet, computer)
- Enter the verification code (or it may be pre-filled)
- Login with your tado° account credentials
- Approve the connection
-
Existing Connections: Your existing connections will continue to work until the tokens expire. When they do, you'll need to re-authenticate using the new method.
This change improves security while maintaining all existing functionality of the app.
