A Tado API client for Node

Based on the work of SCPhillips on his blog

Please note: This is based on reverse engineering the Tado Web App's API and hence may be unstable

DEPRECATION notice: The Zone Overlay API calls are being deprecated, see below for further information

Usage

// Import the Tado client
const { Tado } = require("node-tado-client");

// Create a new Tado instance
var tado = new Tado();

// Login to the Tado Web API
tado.login("username", "password").then(() => {
    tado.getMe().then((resp) => {
        console.log(resp);
    });
});

// Get the User's information

This call will return something similar to the following Javascript object.

{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "username": "john_doe",
    "id": "523acf000089",

                },

Setting Zone Overlays

The setZoneOverlay and clearZoneOverlay methods have been deprecated in favour of setZoneOverlays and clearZoneOverlays respectively.

The setZoneOverlays method takes an array of overlays in the form of

{
    zone_id: 123,           # Required
    power: "ON",            # HEATING and AC
    temperature: {          # HEATING and AC
        celsius: 24,
        fahrenheit: 75.2
    },
    mode: "HEAT",           # AC only
    fanLevel: "LEVEL1",     # AC only
    verticalSwing: "OFF",   # AC only
    horizontalSwing: "OFF", # AC only
    light: "OFF",           # AC only
}

It is not required to use upper case in the values, the library will convert the strings for you. It is also not required to supply both celsius and fahrenheit, the Tado API is able to convert for you.

The termination argument should be one of the following:

• A positive integer - this will be interpreted as the number of seconds to set the overlay for
• "auto" - this will put the overlay into "TADO_MODE"
  • Note: This uses the default termination type set on the zone
• "next_time_block" - overlay until the next scheduled event
• Anything else - the overlay will exist indefinitely and will need manually clearing

Setting Geo Presence

The setPresence method call takes the following arguments

• presence - home, away or auto

Documentation of deprecated methods

The setZoneOverlay method call takes the following arguments

Note: It will automatically determine the type of system that it is affecting

• power - on or off (case insensitive) [default: off]
• temperature - Integer temperature in Celsius, if affecting a HEATING system
• termination - Integer , auto, next_time_block, or manual (case insensitive, integer denotes a timer in seconds) [default: manual]
