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.
