Changing batteries
Hi this is my first time changing batteries on the smart thermostat. Do I need to turn the power off to my boiler at all or can I just unscrew the cover off the wall without doing so and change the batteries?

@Thomp_9 If yours is a wired thermostat then you DO needs to power off - see below
When replacing the batteries, please remember:
- Use only alkaline batteries (LR03 or LR6).
- Do not use zinc-carbon (R03 or R06) batteries. Although they have the same form factor as the LR03 or LR6 batteries, they have a lower capacity and are therefore not suitable for use with tado°.
- Do not mix old batteries with new ones in one device. Always replace all batteries at the same time.
- Do not mix batteries of different types, eg. Alkaline with NiMH.
- For safety reasons, when replacing batteries of a wired Smart Thermostat, please make sure to turn the power supply to the heating system off before removing the front cover of the device.
- When placing the new alkaline batteries into your device's battery slot, take care to align the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities correctly, as shown in the diagram inside the battery compartment.

I just click the thermostat off the wall to replace batteries. Never heard I had to switch off the boiler. The helpdesk didn't tell me to do so either when they once gave me a step by step instruction.
