you missed out to mention that if in basic control mode you cannot set a comfy range of temperature that the ac will activate when it is outside those ranges, to do that you have to switch to thermostat mode, which disables the other control functions.
Can you switch on/off the AC just from the thermostat? I want to use it in my bed and breakfast. But I'm not gonna ask.every quest to instal the app.... And it will be great if it doesn't have too many functions (the thermostat), just ON/OFF and the range of temperature to set. And is it also possible to set a new temperature range? Like for example 18 - 24 degree ?
You can adjust the settings on the screen, but it's highly unreliable if you don't know how to push it correctly. You can't set a range, but it uses a range in order to control the temperature. It'll turn off roughly 0,3 degrees under your target and will turn back on once its around 0,5 above again.
Do you know if you can schedule to heat your home rather than just cooling? My unit can do both. I can see there is a heat button, but does it understand automatically when to heat?
Yes you can switch into heating mode and also active it in full manual mode. Don’t know if it’ll switch automatically to heating if you turn it high enough.
@@AttiBear thnx! Shame! I am doing a renovation and was willing to build them flush to the wall so it looks like they always belonged there :) Another question, is there a guideline to where you put the little box compared to the airco unit so the IR signal is received?
They sit fairly close on the wall so I think from an optical standpoint it's alright. Once you complete the Setup, there is a part where the AC Control sends out continuous signals so you can check whether your AC receives the signal. Mine for example sits in a 90° angle to my AC 😉
I'm pretty unhappy with it's lack of mounting options. Adhesive does not work on my wall, and there seems to be no other options than buying the stand. I'm baffled by the lack of a bracket or anything that allows me to properly attach it.
If I have Tado Heating v3 (not v3+). When I buy Tado AC v3+ can I use free autoasist for heating and ac? Or only for heating and cooling need paid subscription?
Dear Martin Koutny, if you add the new Smart AC Control to your existing account, the App won't change (the same happens when you add a new Smart Thermostat). However, if you would like to switch from V3 to V3+, there's a special upgrade offer for existing customers: support.tado.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206562913. Kind regards, the tado° Team
Hi, great review. You've mentioned on the other review that v3+ needs a subscription for you to use Geolocation is that still the case? Also, does it have command to control the swing horizontally and vertically? Thanks
Hey Jexie, thank you! As far as i remember tado moved away from the subscription model after a significant backlash. If you operate it in manual mode you can control swing movement yes.
is one smart AC controller V3 only for one air conditioner in the house, or can multiple air conditioners be connected to one smart controller? or is it not possible that I need a smart steering for every climate?
Atti Bear sorry for the many questions, but doesn’t it require a hub or something to be connected to use outside the house? Or does it connect to Apple TV and the homepods?
My AC remote can only adjust temperature up and down. I cannot type in specific temperatur. It does show temperature, fan etc. on the display. Is that a problem for using the Tado Smart AC Control?
Not sure if it'll work the Smart AC Control. Tado also has a compatibility guide on their website. You can also reach out to their support and they'll tell you if it's compatible.
@@AttiBear oh thank you for question and reply. I almost bought it, and it is totally worthless to me then. I have tennants and wanted to control their usage remotely.
you can reach out to their support and they'll check it for you or you try to check it here support.tado.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115001721423-Which-air-conditioners-are-supported-by-the-Smart-AC-Control-

Hi Atti, I do a Wordpress blog that's all about HomeKit, and as well as news, product reviews & listings, as well as 'How to' articles, I also feature my own and 3rd party videos from TH-cam - with the creators' permission of course. I wanted to ask if you were ok with me posting this video? Basically, I'd just embed them in an article, so any views the videos get, go straight to your numbers. I also make sure that your name or channel name is credited in the article, so they know who produced it. Viewers can also simply click on the TH-cam logo as well if they want to view it directly in TH-cam. If you have any affiliate links for the products you review, then I'll happily include those in the post too, so you get direct benefits. Let me know if you'd like to go for it, but if you're not keen, then that's fine - I always prefer to ask, currently there are around 10 different 'TH-camrs' who allow me to share their videos and it's helped with views and subscribers a lot. I Look forward to a reply!
Hey, sure you can share the video on your website. If you like you can also use the links provided in my description and thank you for reaching out I really appreciate it 🙂
That you can control all the settings is not true. Heat pump cannot be set below 16C, so setting 8 or 10C as many people like for holiday houses is not possible. TADO completely ignores customers request for this and these reviews never mention it either. Bought one and can’t use it. It’s garbage to me for this reason.
This review focuses on ACs and has nothing to do with heat pumps. The lowest setting for Tado heating features is 5C (just checked it on the radiator) so you should first check your heat pump for compatibility and then maybe the possible available settings.
🔴Check out the comparison between the Smart AC Control V2+ and V3+➡️th-cam.com/video/LG_-8JcmmYo/w-d-xo.html
The Installation is so clear with your explanations. Thank you very much for the video!
You are welcome Tung. Glad I could help 🙂

Hi Atti...can u share (with a video) your expirience with Tado V3+ and Home App on iPhone or iPad? Can we see the controls? thank u!
It is not connecting after i scanned homekit code. After 5 minutes it says timed out?
Does it have an onboard thermostat to cut the ac in and out to maintain a temperature?
yes it does
Hi!! Can You make video about what it can do using only Home app on iOS? Can I use it only from homeKit only?
100% HomeKit compatible, feel free to control your device from iOS/MacOS only!
hey i have a question will my mundoclima airco be supported?

Do you know if it is possible to hardwire the control box to power (not using the stupid usb cable?)
No you only can power it through a USB Cable. I upgraded one of my power outlets with a USB Port so i plug it right into the wall

The equipment is always emitting light? or its able to turn it off? I am asking, because in a bedroom I like to sleep completly in the dark
It only lights up if there any changes to your settings. Otherwise the display is off
oww thanks for the fast answer Atti. cheers.
My pleasure 😉
How to factory reset the taro v3+??
I'm pretty unhappy with it's lack of mounting options. Adhesive does not work on my wall, and there seems to be no other options than buying the stand. I'm baffled by the lack of a bracket or anything that allows me to properly attach it.
I agree. They didn't think about that. How ever did you try Alientape? That sticks to everything!

If the ACs receiver is in the same room, then you can use one Controller. If they are located in different rooms, you'll need multiple controllers
I have a hall with more than 15 ACs, can 1todo device control all of them at one time?
Hey Mohamed, well if they all can receive the IR signal from it then yes. otherwise you'll have to use multiple modules.
Thanks for the great video. Would you know if the device can control more than 1 AC units? Thanks!
Thanks Anton! It can only control one AC Unit at a time. However di you have two identical models in one room it would work with both
If I have multiple ACs in separate rooms, can I buy multiple units of this product to control them all?
Hey Eugene, Of course you can! 😃
HFErrorDomain:6. What about this error?!
Am I able to turn on the AC when I’m out of the house through the home app on iPhone?
Yes you are ☺️
Atti Bear that’s great! Thank you
Atti Bear sorry for the many questions, but doesn’t it require a hub or something to be connected to use outside the house? Or does it connect to Apple TV and the homepods?
No Problem I'm happy to help 😉. Homekit in general can be operated without a hub. Remote access requires either an iPad, Apple TV or Home Pod.
My AC remote can only adjust temperature up and down. I cannot type in specific temperatur. It does show temperature, fan etc. on the display. Is that a problem for using the Tado Smart AC Control?
Not sure if it'll work the Smart AC Control. Tado also has a compatibility guide on their website. You can also reach out to their support and they'll tell you if it's compatible.
Thanks for making this good Video, Atti. One question, objectively speaking, which one better if it compare to Sensibo sky?
This review was sponsored by Tado..... he can't exactly say Sensibo
Great video
After connection, can i turn on my AC with google assistant? I mean can I turn it on with my voice only?
Yes you can ☺️
what if someone takes the AC remote and turns on the AC? Will the phone app know that the AC has been turned on?
No it will not. Tado will overwrite your remotes command at its next command cycle
@@AttiBear oh thank you for question and reply. I almost bought it, and it is totally worthless to me then. I have tennants and wanted to control their usage remotely.
How could i know if my AC will work with this smart controller ?
you can reach out to their support and they'll check it for you or you try to check it here support.tado.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115001721423-Which-air-conditioners-are-supported-by-the-Smart-AC-Control-

amazing
Sadly they don’t ship to Dubai 😔
Abdulla Rashed use ship and shop from Aramex.
...and if you want to use all function you habe to pay monthly...
Why haven't Tado put a rechargeable battery in this? 🤦🏻
cause plain Wifi consumes way to much energy. You'd be switching batteries every few days

Very clear. But weird that it is not wireless
