Tado Ineffective Cooling/Heating Control via IR

Tado Smart AC Control turns the AC on, but the actual room temperature does not match the setpoint.

Possible Causes

Incorrect AC remote profile selected, AC in a different mode than expected (fan-only, dry), Temperature sensor placement poor (near AC airflow), IR commands partially misinterpreted by AC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only adjust AC and Tado settings; no electrical work.

  • Verify AC mode: Ensure the AC unit is in the correct mode (cooling or heating) and not in fan-only or dry mode.
  • Re-learn remote: In the Tado app, reconfigure the AC remote, selecting the exact model if possible and testing all key functions.
  • Sensor placement: Place the Tado Smart AC Control where it measures representative room air, not directly in the AC airflow or near a heat source.
  • Check fan speed: Ensure the fan speed is adequate to distribute conditioned air throughout the room.
