## What is Tepi?

Tepi puts every tado° room in one place.

If your home mixes tado° V3+ and tado° X, or spreads them across two tado° accounts, you know the problem: two apps, or endless switching between homes. Tepi shows every room in a single list, with the same controls, and never asks which generation you meant.

LOCAL, AND NO TADO° SIGN-IN NEEDED

Every room, temperature and switch works without one. Changes go straight to the valve over HomeKit, on your own network: in under a second, with no round trip through anyone's servers, and they keep working when your internet is down or tado's API isn't answering.

Signing in is optional. It adds what HomeKit doesn't carry: matching rooms to tado°, device health, day-by-day history for V3+, showing and changing tado° schedules, and reaching your home when you're away without a HomePod or Apple TV.

WHAT'S IN IT

• Every room, both generations, all accounts, with current temperature, target, humidity and whether the radiator is actually heating
• tado° X paired straight to Apple Home, one room per room however many devices it has
• Instant control: drag the bar, nudge by half a degree, Boost or Off
• Room groups: switch Upstairs off, or send the bedrooms to Eco, in one tap
• Comfort and Eco: two temperatures you set once and send to every room or to a group
• Quick actions: All off, Comfort, Eco and Resume from the Home Screen icon
• Favourites, custom names, hidden rooms and drag-to-reorder
• Link a room to its tado° room by hand when the names don't match
• Your tado° schedules: see each room's week, change it, copy it, keep the whole house as profiles (Winter, Summer…), or hand a room back to it in one tap
• Hot water (experimental) on tado° X with a heat pump or a boiler
• Siri and Shortcuts: a room, a group or the whole house, by voice or in a shortcut
• Apple Watch: every room on your wrist, with the Digital Crown, Off, Boost, Comfort, Eco and your groups
• Room history for tado° V3+, kept by tado°, so it's complete even when the app was closed
• Battery, firmware and connectivity for every device

TEPI ASSIST (EXPERIMENTAL, OPTIONAL)

Off until you turn it on. Presence reminds you when you leave home and when you come back: one tap sets the house to Eco, or hands it back to its tado° schedule. Suggestions learn what you usually do and offer it at the right moment, as few or as many as you like. With Apple Weather on, it also suggests heating up before a cold evening. Tepi learns on your iPhone, and nothing changes until you tap.

WHAT IT NEEDS

Your tado° devices have to be visible in Apple's Home app. For tado° V3+ that's the Internet Bridge you already own; no hub is required.

tado° X uses Matter over Thread, so your home needs Thread, usually from a HomePod, an Apple TV or another Thread border router. Tepi explains what's missing.

PRIVACY

No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. Your tado° data goes from tado° to your phone and nowhere else, and nothing is collected in the background. If you use Presence, your exact home location stays on your iPhone too.

The only thing that ever reaches the developer is a support email, if you write one. You can attach a short summary of your setup: it's off unless you turn it on, and you see every word first.

FREE, AND DELIBERATELY SMALL

No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases. Tepi is built by one person who got tired of switching between two apps to heat one house. Feedback is very welcome: hello@tepiapp.com.

Tepi is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by tado GmbH. tado° is a trademark of tado GmbH.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-11-03

Rooms uses the whole display

On an open iPhone Duo, an iPad or an iPhone Pro Max in landscape, Rooms now shows your whole house across the display, every room at a glance. Open a room and it appears beside your list; tap ‹ Rooms to see the whole house again. On the Duo or an iPad mini held upright, a room opens full screen instead, and Back returns to your rooms.

Also in this version
• Dark mode: the cards on Rooms stand apart from the background.
• Long one-word room names shrink instead of breaking in the middle.
• Apple Watch: a room's target is no longer cut off on smaller watches.
• A thermostat that looks like hot water is no longer listed as a room, and Tepi never changes it.

Thank you to everyone who tested the beta and wrote in.

### 1.4 — 2026-11-02

A clearer Tepi

Every screen has been gone over so your rooms come first and everything says plainly what it means.

• Rooms: the house is now one line, such as "3 of 8 heating · 19.4° average", with All off, Resume schedules, Comfort and Eco in a row underneath, so your rooms start higher up.
• Hot water, and a schedule paused for more than a day, are now small tiles. Each opens what it is about.
• A room: everything that changes it is together at the top, with Resume tado° schedule beside the controls. You feel a light tap when a change goes through. About this room (ⓘ) explains the rest of the screen.
• History: the day in one line above the chart, humidity on its own scale, and press and hold the chart to read any moment.
• Settings: a short list that shows each setting's value. Tap one for its details.
• Easier to read: coloured words are darker in light mode, and every colour has a stronger version for Increase Contrast.
• Apple Watch: a room's name sits above its ring, and the house buttons take less room, so your rooms come sooner.

iPhone Duo

Open the phone and Rooms shows your rooms on one side and the room you open on the other. With no room open, the other side shows your home at a glance: how many rooms are heating, the average temperature and today's tado° allowance, if Tepi already knows it. Nothing is fetched just to show it. Fold or unfold the phone and you stay where you were.

You get the same side-by-side layout on an iPhone Pro Max in landscape, and the home overview on iPad.

Also in this version

• Fixed: Hot water recovery showed its comparison the wrong way round when putting a saved week back. It now shows the change in the direction it will be made.
• Fixed: "Copy into draft" for a hot water day could be tapped before choosing a day to copy to.
• Tepi now opens in a single window on iPad.
• Built for iOS 27.1.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-24

Schedule profiles

Keep your rooms' tado° schedules as a profile, like Winter, Summer or Guests, with an icon if you like, and put the whole house back on one whenever you want.

Nothing changes until you've seen what will happen. Tepi shows the change in each room and how many of tado°'s daily requests it needs, and you can leave any room out. Rooms are then changed one by one, exactly as shown, with the same checks as a single save. A room changed in tado°'s app since you looked is left alone, and so is a tado° X room in Holiday Mode. Each time, Tepi keeps the schedules it replaced as a "Before…" backup, so you can go back the same way.

Find it in the ⋯ menu on the Rooms screen, or in Settings → Tepi Assist → Schedules. It needs Schedules set to Edit and your tado° account. Your profiles stay on your iPhone and in its backups.

Hot water, new and experimental

With tado° X and a heat pump or a boiler, the Rooms screen now shows a hot water card: the temperature, what it is doing and the next change. At most one request per home, and you can hide it in Settings → Display.

Changing hot water is off until you turn it on in the same place. It is experimental, so Tepi asks you to accept that first — and always check the controller itself afterwards.

Also in this version

• On iPad, Rooms shows your rooms on the left and the one you open on the right.
• When your tado° sign-in expires, Sign in again now keeps everything: linked rooms, groups and schedule history stay as they were.
• A room you linked by hand now asks to be linked again if two of your tado° accounts list the same room, instead of guessing.
• If Reset all Tepi data can't delete something, it now says so.
• Fixed: Tepi could close after you tapped one of its notifications on iOS 27.
• Fewer tado° requests when a room can't be reached on your home network: Tepi now waits for you to settle on a temperature and sends it once.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-12

Your tado° schedules, in Tepi

See each room's tado° schedule as a week, on both generations, and change it: move a time, split a block, set a temperature. Nothing reaches tado° until you press Save. Tepi tells you first how many of tado°'s daily requests it will use, and checks afterwards that tado° kept exactly what you saved. Earlier versions are kept, so a change can be undone, and a week can be copied to other rooms.

Turn it on in Settings → Tepi Assist → Schedules, with Show or Edit. It needs your tado° account.

- Tepi tells you when a room's schedule has been paused for more than a day by a temperature set by hand, and where to resume it.
- If Suggestions are on, Tepi can notice when what you set by hand keeps disagreeing with a room's schedule, and offer to change it. It never changes it on its own.

A fresh look

Room cards show what each room is doing at a glance: warm when it's heating, cool when it's off, "Heating to 22°" or "Set to 21°", and a thin bar from where the room is to where it's going. The room screen leads with the temperature you're setting. Devices puts what needs attention first. On Apple Watch, the ring shows where the room is now, and the house is summed up under the title.

Also in this version

- Tepi Assist has its own button on the Rooms screen, and a line there when something needs a look.
- Each room shows its Home app room under its name.
- See at a glance which firmware version each device runs: Devices now shows it on every device, with a summary per type of device at the top.
- Removing a room or a group removes it from Siri's suggestions too.
- Long room names and large text sizes wrap instead of being cut off.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-05

Tepi Assist (experimental)

Optional help that notices things and offers, and never acts on its own. It's off until you turn it on in Settings.

• Presence: when you leave home, a reminder to set the house to Eco. When you come back, one to hand the heating back to its tado° schedule. One tap does it.
• Suggestions: Tepi learns what you usually do, like "the living room to 21° around 18:30 on weekdays", and offers it at the right moment. You choose how many, from one a day inside Tepi to five as quiet notifications. Nothing at night.
• Outdoor temperature, if you switch it on: suggestions before a cold evening, from Apple Weather, only for rooms you've heated in similar weather.

Tepi learns on your iPhone. Presence only asks for your location while you're using the app, and your exact home location never leaves your phone. Outdoor temperature, if you turn it on, sends Apple Weather a location rounded to about 1 km.

Siri and Shortcuts

"Set the heating to Eco with Tepi". Or add any room or group to a shortcut: off, Comfort, Eco, a temperature, or back to the tado° schedule.

Apple Watch

Tepi now has an Apple Watch app: your rooms, with the names and order you gave them on the iPhone. Turn the Digital Crown to set a room, or tap Off or Boost; All off, Comfort, Eco and your groups are there too. The watch reaches your radiators through Apple Home itself, so the iPhone can stay in your pocket. Away from home it needs a home hub, as Apple's Home app does.

Now in Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish

Tepi speaks Nederlands, Français, Italiano and Español, as well as English and German.

Also in this version

The Devices tab now shows how many devices need attention: a low battery, or one that's offline. It replaces the notification Tepi used to send while you were already looking at the list.

A lot of rebuilding under the surface, so Tepi stays reliable as it grows. If anything behaves differently from before, please tell me: hello@tepiapp.com
