tado° Smart AC Control - Digital Air Conditioner Control

A key issue that many will have is that this need to be mounted on a wall facing the AC unit. This is because it will effectively be working like an AC remote sending InfraRed commands to the AC unit. Therefore if you have a big room and cannot angle the unit opposite the AC head you will struggle to get it working. This is on top of the central design flaw in the product. I have had these devices for over a year and I've given up. This product looks great but the single underpowered RF Bridge (the bit to talk to connect the various devices to the internet) is a huge technical flaw in the entire product. The fact that you can't add additional bridges means the product has limited range. The vendor is aware of this problem but refuses to address it citing the amount of work that would be required. The forums are full of people with devices that fall out of range. I've invested heavily in this product (over £1000) but I am very disappointed that rooms drop off the wireless connection resulting in them not getting instructed to turn on/off - this leaves you with hot or cold rooms. The devices themselves look great and when they are in range are good; but the fact that they are in fact dumb (aka not smart) means they must be connected at all times to the internet to work. The alterative being that they held their schedule on device and only needed the internet for updates to that schedule. As it stands they must be connected to get told to turn on and off. Such a shame, as the vendor seems happy to take the money of new customers knowing that there are structural flaws in the product.

The product is unfit for purpose. The WiFi elements of the software cannot be configured manually. It does not replicate the existing remote controller despite indications suggesting that it has recognised the make and type of both it and the AC unit. Issues with the WiFi mean that it is not possible to control the AC unit from anywhere other than the room/building it is installed in.....which makes it a bit pointless! Basically it achieves less than the existing remote controller because the scheduling option is not as good. Another big problem is the inability to add a room and then assign a device to that room. Even the tech support guys say this cannot be done......instead a device must be added first and then it should be assigned to a room that doesn't exist.....hmmm. If a room is subsequently created and a device is successfully assigned to it, it is not possible to alter that assignment. Any changes in this regard have to be referred to tech support for them to do it on your behalf. Really? The install instructions provided on the app are sparse and inadequate in that the 2 stage procedure does not work. Downloading the Tado manual from the website gives 14 pages of poorly crafted hybrid English with graphics bearing a token resemblance to actual screen displays but not enough to be accurately relied on.

I regret buying this product! First of all, this product can't identify the Daikin air conditioner that I produced in 2018. Then I can only use the most basic function, that is, I can't use dehumidification, air supply, and can't adjust the wind speed and direction of the fan when using cooling and heating. Although this product supports homekit, when actually interacting with siri, siri is required to turn off the air conditioner but it will not be executed, but needs to be closed on the iPhone. Even, many times in the morning, I found that the air conditioner was turned on. This is a waste of energy and money in Japan, where electricity is expensive. When I try to communicate with the brand's after-sales team, they are very unhelpful.

A total waste of your time money and effort. Installation instructions are next to non existent and getting it to connect to your WiFi is near impossible. I eventually managed after 3 hours of factory resets, reading online help and guesswork. When it eventually connected I selected the correct AC brand, it detected the model and then completely failed to control the AC system from the app. Half the time it didn’t even switch on or off when it said it was. The app doesn’t reflect the current settings set by the AC control. It’s utterly useless. I decided to try and train it myself using the setup function bit that just made matters worse. When I did another factory reset to try it again on standard settings it refused again to connect to WiFi (there’s actually no way of telling whether it’s connected or not, you have to guess based on whether the app communicates with the Tado box. A true customer experience nightmare. I’m asking for a full refund for this joke technology. Don’t waste your sanity or precious hours of your life with this product.

If you have a air conditioner and you only use the AC feature then this is a great buy with good HomeKit integration. However, if you’re looking to use the fan and heating mode then this is not fit you - this is simply a thermostat it’s main purpose is to control temperature and not the air conditioner mode. The unit itself is absolute useless, difficult ease of use and very cheap material.

I bought this because I was waiting for a HomeKit compatible AC IR blaster, and according to the marketing this was suppose to work great, it didn't, for starters the setup process was a pain in the ass, the device did not recognized my AC split unit an MDV, then I had to "teach" the device basically pointing the remote to the device and pressing the buttons, but instead of just pressing every button once for the device to learn (like most IR blaster luring process) I had to recreate every possible iteration of the remote like: Mode:cool temp:17 fan: low, swing: on and so on changing the temp then the fan then the swing etc etc etc, it took me a good hour to finish the process and when I did its still buggy. im really disappointed by this product. I went ahead and ordered myself a Sensibo lets see how that works,

Does not know all functions, for example on my unit it does not allow the quiet fan setting, which is the only setting I use. Support said "We do not support specific modes, only the basic ones." Also, post installation it then stopped providing any control at all. It would not even allow me turn the a/c off. And the functionlity is complicated and it does not function simply as a smart version of your a/c remote. It decides to take control and not let you simply turn on and set fan and temp to what you want.

The V3+ app can no-longer do non-thermostatic control. This means this 'smart' device is limited to turning your AC on at full blast and then off repeatedly. Useless if you have a decent inverter based AC unit. It will use more power and encourage mould growth in the unit.

L'aspetto è un po da cinesata con le lucine al posto dello schermo che fa un po' anni 90 ma alla fine non ha nessuna importanza, si usa sempre l'app e il dispositivo lo si dimentica. Ottima l'App. Le possibilità di programmazione sono notevoli e il funzionamento quasi perfetto. Trovo molto utile il grafico giornaliero di tutti i valori. Una cosa negativa del funzionamento è che per cambiare i parametri del condizionatore occorre registrare il telecomando sia in Cold che Heat (anche se ne usate uno solo dei due) e non è semplicissimo registrare il telecomando. Sarebbe buona cose dividere le due memorizzazioni. Un'altra cosa molto utile sarebbe poter programmare la potenza della ventola insieme alle temperature. Direi che questo è l'unica mancanza che si nota nell'utilizzo. Gli unici veri problemi riguardano l'installazione. Ho avuto due problemi non segnalati ne rilevati che mi hanno fatto perdere ore al punto che stavo quasi per restituirlo. Alla fine verificando le impostazioni del router mi sono ricordato del canale (13) che alcuni dispositivi EU non rilevano e infatti era quello il problema iniziale, solo che poi ha memorizzato una rete AC (non supportata) e non c'era modo di andare avanti. C'è voluta un'altra ora di ricerche e tentativi per riuscire ad'azzerare tutto e ricominciare. Davvero poco intuitivo e sottolineo che sono uno "smanettone", generalmente installo tutto senza nemmeno aprire le istruzioni, qui nemmeno con i manuali e le FAQ online...

La aplicación muy completa y hace su papel perfectamente. Tiene un porrón de mandos preconfigurados pero no Daitsu (de las más vendidas en España). 2 horas para grabarle las 260 veces q le tienes q dar con el mando. Y no te equivoques. Eso si una vez terminas, una gozada. Llegar a casa y q este fresquta en verano y calentita en invierno, no tiene precio. En la versión actual (tengo ya 3) en el primer toque de mando lo reconoce. El problema es que no tiene la opción que hace que mueva el aire arriba y abajo. Se pone a moverlo y en la habitación no quería q se moviese. Otro punto en contra es la opción táctil de apagar. En teoría tocas durante dos segundos y se apaga. Bueno, pues va cuando quiere. Respecto a la integración con Alexa va genial!!

Tout d'abord j'ai des climatisations DAIKIN de 2006. Télécommande reconnu et j'ai tous les menus. L'application Tado est bien foutu, j'utilise Meross également, et Maison avec Apple mais je n'ai pas encore de concentrateur donc obligé de passer par les applications fabriquant. Pour le moment les applications des fabriquant sont mieux que Maison. Que dire de Tado, la synchronisation et reconnaissance du boitier, suffit de suivre ce que l'application vous dit de faire, c'est donc très simple. L'application est complète, possibilité d'avoir un abonnement, mais sans abonnement vous pouvez déjà piloter de là ou vous voulez (ON/OFF) + tous les menus de la télécommande (volets, réglage température, auto, soufflerie, chaud froid ventilation déshumidificateur) vous pouvez faire vos plannings de la semaine, et ça c'est top du top, je me calque à mes heures creuses et nos horaires de travail et lever du matin. Le mode absent c'est top avec géolocalisation, vous êtes à 500m de chez vous l'application vous demande de basculer en mode Maison = allumé les consignes de chauffage. Vous partez on vous demande de passer en mode Absent = bon faut s'assurer qu'il n'y a personne, mais pour cela, suffit de rajouter des utilisateur, chose faite = madame et la fille, le dernier qui part reçois la notif Absent (a vous de mettre le choix quand il y a personne, moi j'ai mis chauffage à 18° mais vous pouvez stopper tout). Ce que j'apprécie c'est le boitier, un peu d'affichage digital, mais ce boitier est aussi un capteur, il mesure la température mais aussi le taux d'hygrométrie et ça c'est cool. De ce que j'ai compris, Tado prends des informations du web, pour savoir s'il fait froid dehors ou pas, si c'est ensoleillé, et ajuste votre chauffage. Bref avis déposé après 1 journée, je suis super content, espérons que ce soit fiable dans le temps car pour rembourser 80€ sur les économies d'énergie je doute qu'en 3 mois ce soit rentabilisé. A mesurer. J'ai acheté un seul boitier car j'étais pas sur que mes climatisations seraient compatibles, oui j'ai 4 splits dans 4 pièces, mais vu que cela fonctionne au top, j'en ai pris un 2e, les autres viendront petit à petit car ça reste un budget. Tado = le câble entre l'alimentation et le boitier devrait être plus long (+1m) De 79.90€ on est passé à 99€ en 3 semaines = Honte à vous !!!

Dit najaar een airco geplaatst gekregen. Omdat ik alles al van Tado heb, is het een logische keuze om ook de airco versie aan te schaffen. Wel even wennen dat dit een bedrade versie is, maar niet storend. Het mooie is dat ik nu overal de temperatuur, luchtvochtigheid etc goed in beeld heb en nog beter kan reageren. Product doet wat het moet doen.
