How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No hardware risk; this is an app configuration issue.
- Enable location services: On your smartphone, ensure location services are turned on globally and for the Tado app specifically.
- Allow background access: Set the Tado app’s location permission to "Always" or the recommended setting for geofencing.
- Check user presence: In the Tado app, verify that all household members’ phones are correctly added and that their location permissions are active.
- Test movement: Move a few hundred meters away from home and check if the app updates your status to "Away" and adjusts heating accordingly.
- Re-login: Log out and back into the Tado app to refresh account and geofencing settings.
