Can no longer find how to set Thermostatic mode

Hi,

In the old version of the app you could go to Settings/Rooms/Smart AC Control and select Thermostatic or non-thermostatic mode.

I am having an issue with my AC that may be related to the AC temperature measurement so I was wanting to switch to Thermostatic mode, however I can no longer see that option in the settings anywhere in the new app. Am I missing something?


Thanks.

    Oooh- scratch that. I just found out that I have to click on the room not the Smart AC device itself.

    Panic over. I'll leave this here in case it helps anyone else struggling to find the setting.

  • Well, that answer is no longer valid apparently. I installed the V3+ AC Controller today, hoping to get better results from the AC unit (since using the built-in thermostat in the AC Unit doesn't work particularly well) but found out that apparently Thermostat mode is no longer available.
    That's unfortunate, because using the Tado as an external Thermostat for the AC was the main goal of the purchase...
    Now the AC Unit keeps running depite the room temp already being beyond the limit I had set...so essentially no improvement over the "normal" operation without the Tado...
  • Yeah- I had the same revelation the other day- went to look for Thermostat mode and couldn't find it any more- which sucks because my AC seems to have no idea what the temperature actually is sometimes and massively overshoots the target :(

  • I bought four controllers (I just ordered another one a few days ago), and I am considering giving them back.

    This is the main feature of the AC controller, which is SMART.


    IFFFFT, Homekit Automation.. why do I need Tado to use another app? I counted at least ten threads with negative feedback about the lack of this feature. I was sure it existed based on the review of Tado from 2022.

  • Sadly this is another company deciding they would like to move everything they do over to subscription services. I will not be buying any smart home kit that requires me to pay every month just to keep it working. Fortunately most of the features I have are grandfathered in as I bought them a long time back.
