The `tado` device tracker is using the [Tado Smart Thermostat](https://www.tado.com/) and it's support for person presence detection based on smartphone location by geofencing.
|
|
|
|
This tracker uses the Tado API to determine if a mobile device is at home.
|
|
|
|
To use the Tado platform in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for Tado
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
- platform: tado
|
|
username: YOUR_USERNAME
|
|
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **username** (*Required*): The username for your Tado account.
|
|
- **password** (*Required*): The password for your Tado account.
|
|
|
|
After configuration, your device has to be at home at least once before showing up as 'home' or 'away'.
|
|
Polling Tado API for presence information will occure at most once every 30 seconds.
|
|
|
|
See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
