Tado

Tado Smart Thermostat shows large temperature swings; room alternates between too hot and too cold.

Possible Causes
Thermostat installed in poor location (draft, sunlight), Incorrect room size or radiator configuration in app, Boiler flow temperature too high, Slow-response underfloor heating controlled like radiators
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Only adjust settings and thermostat placement.
- Check placement: Move the thermostat away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. Mount it at about 1.5 m height on an interior wall.
- Adjust flow temperature: Lower the boiler’s flow temperature slightly to reduce overshoot, staying within manufacturer guidelines.
- Room configuration: In the Tado app, ensure the room is configured correctly (radiators vs. underfloor heating) so Tado can use appropriate control algorithms.
- Allow learning period: Tado’s algorithms may need several days to adapt. Avoid frequent manual overrides during this period.
