Tado° Wireless Smart Thermostat X (Matter) only detected as a Temperature Sensor on SmartThings

[Fabio_Mandosso]

​Hello everyone,

​I recently set up my tado° Wireless Smart Thermostat X via the Matter integration with my SmartThings Hub V3.

​The device is correctly linked to the heating system via the tado° Wireless Receiver X, and it functions perfectly within the native tado° app.

​The Issue

​After pairing the device using the Matter QR code, SmartThings is only recognizing the device as a simple Temperature Sensor (reporting the current room temperature). It is not exposing the Thermostat Cluster (the actual control functions).

​

This means I cannot see or change the target temperature, heating mode (Heat/Off), or switch control manually within the SmartThings app.

• ​Expected behavior: The device should appear as a full Thermostat/TRV, allowing me to set the desired temperature (ThermostatHeatingSetpoint).

• ​Actual behavior: The device only shows the current measured temperature (TemperatureMeasurement).

​Troubleshooting Steps Taken

1. ​Verified the device is set as the Measuring Device for the room in the tado° app.

2. ​Removed the device from SmartThings and re-paired it via Matter multiple times.

3. ​Ensured both the tado° firmware and the SmartThings Hub firmware are up-to-date.

4. ​The tado° Wireless Receiver X (acting as the Thread Border Router) is online.

​My Question to the Community

​Has anyone successfully integrated the tado° Wireless Smart Thermostat X via Matter/Thread on SmartThings and achieved full thermostat control?

1. ​Is there a known community Edge Driver that correctly handles the Matter Thermostat Cluster for tado° devices to expose the full control?

2. ​Is this a known limitation of the current official Matter implementation on SmartThings for Matter over Thread devices like the tado° X?

​Any help or insights on how to get the full thermostat functionality would be greatly appreciated!

​Thank you!

Click on the Seleziona altro driver button and see if you can change to the Matter Thermostat driver.

Thanks for the suggestion!

​I tried clicking “Select other driver,” but unfortunately, no other drivers were shown or available for this device. It seems stuck on the generic Matter Sensor driver.

​Appreciate the help anyway!

Thinking out loud…

This device:

Wireless Temperature Sensor X

Relevant Matter clusters:

Generic fingerprint in the Matter Thermostat driver:

Should work out of the box…

That’s correct, based on the Matter standard and official compatibility, this should be working as a full thermostat, but unfortunately, it is not functioning correctly on SmartThings yet—it remains locked to the Sensor profile.

​Interestingly, when I linked the same tado° X device to Alexa (using Matter Multi-Admin), it works perfectly and is fully manageable as a thermostat (setpoint, mode control, etc.).

​This suggests the issue is specific to how the SmartThings platform is currently interpreting the Matter Thermostat Cluster exposed by the tado° X device.

​Thanks again for the input!

One could now look at the driver logs to see if there’s something wrong with the modular profile matching. However, that’s quite complex and time-consuming…

Perhaps SmartThings Edge Driver Builder can also be used to change the profile of the Matter thermostat

@Francois_Venter

Then select “Tools” from the menu at the top and select “Edge driver builder”. You should now get a display of all your devices. Select the z-wave sensor that was created when you tried to pair the SMCO 410.

Once the device is selected, you will see a “Modify Device Configuration” option at the bottom of the page. Then select “Z-Wave Smoke Alarm” and select “Carbon Monoxide Detector” and select “smoke-co-battery” under the profile matches.

Now select “Apply changes” and a new driver will be assigned to your device on your hub. If all goes well you should now have a driver with the correct capabilities. If this works, we can investigate further.

I don’t use a Matter thermostat so I can’t give any more specific advice.

I believe it has to have just those exact deviceTypeIds to match that profile. If it has more than just those endpoints, it won’t match.

However, if his hub is running FW 57.0 or later, it should build a modular profile.

Thank you so much! I was able to change the driver and now it’s working perfectly
