Hello
I managed to successfully add my Tado Bridge and TRVs to Home Assistant via the HomeKit Device integration. However, I’m not seeing the “Home/Away” mode pre-set
I saw a couple of posts but they’re referring to the Tado integration which is reliant on the Tado cloud whereas I want the control to be completely local
Hi there! Can the “Home/Away” mode pre-set be controlled through HomeKit natively? By that I mean, if you added the devices directly into HomeKit instead of through Home Assistant, are those controls available?
I’ve added mine directly via HomeKit. I cannot see any option for Home/Away anywhere. I can, however, turn on/off individual TRVs and set temperature
Unfortunately, if the controls are not available when adding the device directly to HomeKit, then they won’t be exposed through the HomeKit Device Home Assistant integration either. You may need to use the Tado integration (which does use a cloud connection) for that particular option.
Someone that has experience with Tado may be able to chime in.
Would it be possible to use both HomeKit (as a local non-cloud option) and the Tado integration (cloud-based) to control the same devices? It would be quite confusing if the integration duplicates the same devices
