Manual thermostat adjustment when schedules off -> unwanted infinite time boost.
I currently have the schedule off for my house, as I'm only wanting to heat one room at a time.
When I set a radiator in a room to a temperature it automatically turns on until I resume schedule.
This is not at all what I'm looking for, which is the normal 1 hour boost that it is set for. By the time I noticed, I'd already been heating several rooms for several days 24/7, wasting a lot of energy.

there is an “after manual adjustment setting for each room” you can set. In theory you have 3 options after you have set a manual temperature.
- return to schedule at next automatic change
- return to schedule after set time ( which you can set )
- infinite until changed by user
BUT it does NOT work Tado just randomly decides what option - useless
so I have the same issue if someone changes temp the heating may just stay on infinite so I have to constantly watch Tado so much for automation.

Morning GrayDav2476, it used to work fine but now does not, see screen shots below example room is set to resume schedule at next automatic change which should be 22.00 after set a manual adjustment it set resume schedule in 30 minutes.

@wbjohn is that you making the manual adjustment physically on the device? Or from within the app?0

Found recently that the manual control settings works only for a physical device. They no longer control changes within the app.
Tested on iOS tado° app 6.23 (beta 11074)
Smart Thermostat firmware: 91.1
Gateway firmware: 92.1

I have occasionally seen it set to "Until Resumed" mode when adjusting via app or wall thermostat.
Also setting temp via alexa always seems to use this mode. I would much prefer always to revert at next time block in schedule.

Thank you for input chaps, the manual changes are all via the app yes on iphone ios 15 and also ipad ios 15. I’ll try another iphone later on ios 14.

well that’s weird tried on a iphone with ios 14 and app worked better but still not fully as expected 6 out of 7 devices performed as expected ie returned to schedule I configured after manual setting.
Checked my phone again and still 5 out of 7 not performing as expected wanting to revert to schedule after 15 minutes.
All valves firmware up to date
support ticket raised but first fix they provided was advising me to set up a schedule for my valves

Afternoon GrayDav2476,
Could I ask if you would log onto tado on the internet and try a manual change and see when the resume set is.
I’ve just tried and it sets the resume to indefinite until I manually change on all valves even though the setting is to resume at next scheduled change.

I've probed further into this subject and definitely the 'manual control on tado° device' option works only for a physical device. It doesn't control changes within the app (including Apple Home) neither the web.
Moreover, it affects the Dazzle Mode, so if I change the temp via software no message will appear on the tado° screen and there is no option to change this behavior (if I manually wake the thermostat up it shows an updated 'heating to' icon)*I am sure this was 'working well' in the past! Hope this is a bug and not a feature.
*few resets and tado° works again. Hope this was just one-off incident! @cbd20

@rafm5 are you saying the dazzle mode option in the settings no longer works?
I tested my heating a couple of weeks back and the dazzle mode worked just fine on all my devices as I walked round the house checking everything.
I haven't used it again since though as my heating has been off, so haven't tried in the last week or so.0 -
Where are these settings located? Android app doesnt have them under settings or room schedule. This stupid feature makes tado a downgrade from my dumb thermostat0
