Netatmo + CheckYout: heating follows occupancy, hours less heating
Cleaning done → Netatmo switches to away mode. Six hours before arrival it warms back up – with a connected PMS.
Smart Home add-on, CHF 9.90/mo – often pays for itself within the first heating month.
Save energy costs
Empty vacation rentals don't need to be heated to living temperature. Depending on vacancy and insulation, away mode runs 50–120 hours per month – from apartment to chalet.
OAuth instead of a bridge – straight from the cloud
CheckYout talks to the Netatmo cloud directly via OAuth. Set it up once, it runs on every check-out.
Compatible with Vaillant
Using a Vaillant vSMART or eRELAX? These are based on the same platform as Netatmo and are also compatible.
Cleaning reports done, the rest runs
Everything runs through CheckYout. Your cleaning staff reports completion – the rest happens automatically.
How it works
Connect Netatmo account in CheckYout settings (OAuth, 2 minutes)
Check-out is detected – thermostat automatically switches to away mode
Before next arrival: heating automatically warms up (with PMS)
Compatible thermostats
All Netatmo thermostats compatible with the official Netatmo app work with CheckYout.
What happens at check-out – step by step
Guest scans the QR code while leaving the property
Cleaning team receives a WhatsApp notification instantly
Netatmo switches to away mode
→ Only if no arrival is planned on the same day
→ On arrival days, Netatmo pre-heats 6 h before check-in
Cleaning team arrives (about 30 min drive)
Cleaning complete, host is notified
Cleaning team starts the next job
3 h earlier→ More properties per day, especially in high season
Next guest can check in
2 h earlier→ Instead of the default 4 PM check-in
It adds up over the season: Netatmo switches to away mode at check-out, so heating follows actual occupancy. That’s easily several hours less heating per turnover.
Pre-heating requires a connected PMS.
More integrations
No arrival today? tado switches to standby. If a guest is coming, tado pre-heats on time.

CheckYout connects to your Netatmo account via OAuth and switches the thermostat to away mode at check-out. Before the next arrival it heats back up in time – provided a PMS is connected and supplies the arrival time.
How much do I save on heating with Netatmo and CheckYout?
Depends on vacancy, insulation and outside temperature. In a typical apartment the thermostat runs about 50 hours per month in away mode, in a larger chalet around 120 hours – instead of staying at comfort temperature throughout. With a heat pump, the Smart Home add-on often pays for itself after the first heating season.
How do I set up the Netatmo connection with CheckYout?
In the CheckYout dashboard you connect your Netatmo account via OAuth – you enter your password directly at Netatmo, not at CheckYout. Then you assign thermostats to your properties. About 5 minutes of setup.
Does it work with all Netatmo thermostats?
Yes – all Netatmo thermostats compatible with the Netatmo app: Smart Thermostat, Smart Modulating Thermostat and Smart Radiator Valve. Vaillant vSMART and eRELAX are compatible too, as they run on the same platform.
What’s the difference between Netatmo and tado° for vacation rentals?
In CheckYout both work identically. Netatmo (Legrand Group) is strong in France, Italy and Spain; tado° in German-speaking Europe. If you already use one of the two, stick with it – both integrations cost the same and deliver the same automation.
