TADO - Config and setting up Home/Away Feature in HA?

Configuration
1

Hi

Ive set up TADO in HA and I can see temperatures and humidity and everything else but one thing I would like to do is change to Away mode when I and my wife leave the house and nobody is in. This is a feature of their new subscription but I dont subscribe, so was wanting to do this via HA and Automation and or with Node Red if necessary.

I have 2 Thermostats, extention kit amd bridge TADO set up. Has anyone done this with V3+ ?

One thing I cant do also now that its all paired up is use the Intergration HA that seemed to happen when I first turned on on my old HA set up.

Again any ideas ?

Thanks in Advance

You can’t set op HOME and AWAY modus manual since its also not available at tado.com.
You have to add a tracker in your configuration.yaml

Something like this:

device_tracker:
  - platform: tado
    username: <USERNAME>
    password: <PASSWORD>
    home_id: 123456

This will add all devices conencted to tado to track away/home modus.

Can you change the status of Home and Away this way as I couldnt see how ?

If so, what is the name of the entity ?

Thanks in advance

I’m not sure but don’t think you can change the status.
My knowledge doesn’t go that far and I don’t have this issue with a tado v3.

Sorry…

I think I may purchase a V3 internet bridge and get around the issue that way.

I think this shouldn’t be too hard to get done, I’m fairly new to HA and sadly no clue yet. I’m hoping someone would read this and help.

The PyTado that is included (AFAIK) in HA has these methods available:

Someone explained the API and has an (kind off) integration according to the screenshot. https://wirres.net/article/articleview/11348/1/6/ The page is in German, However the API calls are clear, else I suggest Google Translate.

Hi all,

I`m in the same situation: I have a TADO v3+ kit, integrated in HA with 0 problems, and have mi device_tracker configured correctly.

I have 2 mobiles, and would like to make a device_tracker_group to control “preset_mode” var in TADO system (away, home)

So, if both mobiles are OUTSIDE, preset_mode=away
If just one of mobile in at HOME, preset_mode=home

I have ZONES declared in my HA (HOME) that can be used for this.

The problem is that I have no idea to program this… can any help me, please?

Thanks a lot in advance

I manage to make an automation, and can change the value manually, but in 2 seconds, value return to last value. It seems like i can’t change the value in cloud server : (

Anyone can help me?

Same request, it will be usefull to switch from home to away mode without doing it manually in the app, also because in my family due to battery drain 1 phone as not gps tracking activated on tado app and also without subscription it would be fine to have this sensor switch from home to away, but if it a rule from tado in order to subscribe to their sercices maybe this thing is not possible?

I have the same problem. The service: climate.set_preset_mode doesn’t work with tado…
