It’s easy to manually adjust your heating directly on your tado° X devices. When you make manual changes, tado° activates Manual Control mode and overrides the Smart Schedule for the period you select. Manual Control can be temporarily interrupted by Away Mode or Open Window Detection.
On the Smart Thermostat X (1st gen) or Wireless Temperature Sensor X (1st gen), press any button to activate the display. Then use the right and left buttons to adjust the target temperature.
On the Smart Thermostat X (2nd gen) or Wireless Temperature Sensor X (2nd gen), press the top button of the device to activate the display. Then use the interactive light ring to increase or decrease the temperature by circular swiping clockwise or counterclockwise along it.
On the Smart Radiator Thermostat X, turn the control knob to adjust the target temperature.

Child Lock
If the temperature doesn’t change when you turn the control knob on your Smart Radiator Thermostat X, check if there is a padlock icon in the display. If so, Child Lock is activated.
Smart Home integrations
You can also control tado° devices through Smart Home integrations like Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa, either within the apps or with voice commands. Changes made via Smart Home integrations and changes made directly on the tado° devices are both types of Manual Control.
How long does Manual Control last?
You can customise how long you want a manual change to last. This is useful if you rely on a Smart Schedule with moderate temperatures most of the time, but want to increase or decrease the temperature every now and then. After the manual change times out, your devices resume the Smart Schedule automatically.
To set the duration of Manual Control, follow these steps:
Open the tado° app.
Go to Settings > Rooms & Devices.
Select the Room.
Select Manual Control on tado° device.
Choose when want your Manual Control to end:
Until next time block: as defined in your Smart Schedule. tado° will still react to Away Mode if Geofencing is enabled and leave your home.
Timer: tap to set a specific time. tado° will ignore all other settings until the timer runs out.
Until you resume schedule: active indefinitely, until you resume your Smart Schedule. tado° will ignore all other settings until you end Manual Control.
To cancel Manual Control on the tado° devices, you can do the following:
For Smart Thermostat X (1st gen), Wireless Temperature Sensor X (1st gen), and Smart Radiator Thermostat X:
Change the temperature until the hand icon disappears, meaning until it matches the temperature in your Smart Schedule. At that point, the schedule icon will appear.For Smart Thermostat X (2nd gen) and Wireless Temperature Sensor X (2nd gen):
Change the temperature until the hand icon disappears, meaning until it matches the temperature in your Smart Schedule.
A hand icon in the device display indicates Manual Control mode, and a calendar icon (visible only for Smart Thermostat X (1st gen), Wireless Temperature Sensor X (1st gen), and Smart Radiator Thermostat X) indicates that your device is following a Smart Schedule.
