Hi WeWillSee,

Thanks for posting. I understand you are having issues with the automation on your Tado thermostat, which is not functioning properly. Don't worry; I'll be more than happy to share more information with you.

Regarding the automations that you are trying to perform, you might need to explore the Google Home Script Editor.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to post them on this forum.

Best regards,
Jenny

Not sure if I’m technical enough for the script editor. For the moment I’m mostly using the simple automations like when I leave home put off all devices. In this case for example I have a Tado thermostat that doesn’t seem to go off when leaving I also don’t see the automation starting in the history
