You can manage all your tado° X room control devices (Smart Thermostat X, Smart Radiator Thermostat X, or Wireless Temperature Sensor X) in the Apple Home app. You will need an Apple home hub to add Matter accessories and to control them remotely.
You will need to add your tado° X devices one by one to the Apple Home app, but you don’t need to add any tado° Thread border routers (e.g. Bridge X, Heat Pump Optimizer X, Wireless Receiver X).
To make sure that your voice commands are properly understood, we recommend that you group devices in rooms in the same way in the Apple Home app as in the tado° app.
Adding tado° X devices to your Apple Home
You can add your tado° X devices to your Apple Home either from the tado° app or the Apple Home app. You will need to add them individually. First, make sure that:
you have an Apple home hub (e.g. HomePod mini)
the tado° X device that you want to add is powered
your mobile device is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi as your tado° Bridge X (or other compatible home hub)
Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device
your mobile device is running on iOS/iPadOS 16.4 or later
In the tado° app:
If you have already added the device to the tado° app, follow these instructions in the tado° app:
Select Settings > Rooms & Devices.
Select the device that you want to add to your Apple Home.
Select Matter device linking and follow the instructions to share your device to the Apple Home app.
In the Apple Home app:
If you haven’t added your device to the tado° app yet, you can follow these instructions in the Apple Home app:
Tap the + symbol in the top right corner and select Add Accessory in the drop-down menu.
Identify the device in one of the following ways:
If the device is new and not yet added to any app, scan the Matter Setup QR Code.
If you have already added the device to a different app (like Google Home or Alexa), scan the Matter QR Code or enter the Matter code that is shown in this app.
Confirm the device location and name to complete the setup.
Adding your tado° X device to multiple third-party Matter fabrics (e.g. Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home) can slightly decrease the device’s battery life because each fabric requires the device to send and receive additional information.
Most users manage their tado° X devices in the tado° app or with one other smart home platform of their choice without experiencing a significant effect on battery life.
