Matter codes are laser-etched on each tado° X room control device and also printed on the Get started cards in each device’s packaging. Each Smart Radiator Thermostat X, Smart Thermostat X, and Wireless Temperature Sensor X has its own unique Matter code. You can scan the QR code or type in the numerical code to add your device to the tado° app or any other Smart Home app that supports Matter.
On the Get started card in the packaging
We recommend that you keep this card because scanning the Matter code straight from the card is a convenient way to add your devices to 3rd party Matter apps that you might want to use.
After you add each device to a Room in the tado° app, you can write the name of the room on the device’s Get started card and keep it for future reference. But don’t worry if you lose the card, you can always scan the same Matter code on the device itself.
On the Smart Radiator Thermostat X
The Matter code is on the inside of the Smart Radiator Thermostat X and you need to disconnect the battery pack to see it. Disconnect the battery pack from the base of your device by turning it clockwise and releasing, just like you would when recharging the battery.
On the Smart Thermostat X or Wireless Temperature Sensor X
Remove the body of the device from its backplate by gripping the outside of the device with your hand and gently pulling it away from the wall, just like you would when replacing the batteries.
Which apps work with my Matter devices?
Several smart home platforms already support Matter, including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Comcast, and SmartThings, but the list of Matter-friendly networks is constantly growing. For more information about set-up methods, please check your relevant smart home app, as set-up methods will vary.
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.
Please note: the tado° Bridge X and Heat Pump Optimizer X don't have Matter codes. Even though they work to connect your Matter-enabled room control devices, they don’t need to be added to Matter apps in the same way.
