Growatt + tado°

What Zerofy can do with Growatt and tado°

In practice

• Autopilot isn’t available for tado° yet, so Zerofy won’t run your tado° thermostats on solar surplus automatically. You can see Growatt production and tado° in one app and adjust the room temperature from there.
• A temperature you set from Zerofy works like a manual change in the tado° app: it overrides the tado° schedule for that zone with no end time, so the zone only goes back to its schedule when you resume it in the tado° app.

What Growatt and tado° offer on their own

Growatt: The GroBoost heater controller sends surplus solar to immersion heaters, adjustable from 0 to 10.8 kW across three outputs (three 3.6 kW single-phase heaters or one three-phase heater). Growatt’s own product pages don’t mention control of heat pumps or SG Ready.

tado°: With the Heat Pump Optimizer X and the paid “Balance for Heat Pumps” service, tado° shifts heat pump operation into the hours its PV forecast expects solar power. The forecast uses the PV size, address, roof direction and tilt you enter plus the local weather forecast, not live inverter data; the Smart AC Control has no solar function.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads Growatt production and controls your tado° thermostats to match, together with your other devices in one app.

Zerofy logs in to your tado° account and shows temperature and humidity of your tado° zones, and you can set the room temperature from Zerofy; Autopilot does not control tado° devices.

2. In Zerofy, add Tado and log in with your tado° app credentials.

Good to know: Zerofy does not run tado° on solar surplus or dynamic prices; use it in Zerofy for monitoring and manual temperature changes.
