Is my Auto Assist working?

RobPG

I have paid to trial the auto geofencing facility for a month before I decide if I want to invest for a year.

Without the subscription:

If I am outside the range it asks do I want to turn geofencing on. If I say yes the temperature panel on the App turns grey and says frost protection (5 degrees).

With the subscription:

If I am outside the range it automatically turns geofencing on. The temperature gauge says heating to a temperature below my smart schedule but much higher than the frost protection value.

Is this correct?I just would have thought they should do the same thing and I am concerned that the Auto version is actually having the boiler on all the time. I have followed the guideline iOS settings on my phone

Help appreciated

Regards

Rob

if you are away from home but not too far (for instance, if you work very close to your home), tado° will not lower the Away temperature as much as you may expect as it does not have much time to preheat.

So, it depends on the distance.

Thank you. That seems to have worked. I have removed the preheat and extended the radius it detects me returning home so hopefully it will be warm by the time I get home tonight.

Just awaiting the installation of my radiator thermostats which I hope to do at the weekend.

Loving it!
