Tado X accessories and Google Nest Hub - 2nd gen.

Micha1

So I bought Tado X smart radiator thermostats and since I have 2nd generation Google Nest Hub, I thought that I don’t need Tado X Bridge to connect these to my thread network. Google Nest works as border thread router. But it didn’t work for Tado so I had to buy the bridges. Is this expected? I thought thread and matter were created to address the compatibility between different brands…

Hello @Micha1

You shouldn't have to buy an Internet Bridge, no.

Is your Google Hub already Matter enabled?

If so, please have a read through this article.

In the tado° app:

1. Open the tado° app.
2. Select Settings > Rooms and devices and select the device that you want to add.
3. Scroll down and select Device linking.
4. On Android, select the Google Home icon and follow the pop-up instructions to link your device.
5. Repeat for each device.

Alternatively, you can add a tado° X device to your Google Home from the Google Home app. Note that this method only applies to brand new devices (not yet added to the tado° app), or devices that have just undergone a Factory Reset. Otherwise, link your device as described above.

If none of the above work, you can contact support via our live chat.

Thank you, I actually tried and managed to connect wireless temperature sensor but it didn’t work with the radiator thermostats. One thing I noticed when connecting some other smart accessories the thread network is sometimes very unstable… Anyway thanks for fast response.
