Savings: ~CHF 3.20/day
Save automatically, heat up automatically
Guest checks out — heating turns down. Before the next arrival, tado° heats up in time. You save energy and money without thinking about it. Your guest still arrives to a warm place.
Most hosts don't leave the heating on intentionally. They simply don't think about it in the moment — the guest is gone, the notification came, now the cleaning is underway. Three hours later the property is at 22 degrees and empty. No problem at first glance — but the heating costs keep running.
How do I save heating costs with tado° in my vacation rental?
CheckYout switches the heating to eco mode via tado° after checkout and back to comfort temperature at check-in – no manual adjustment needed.
How much can I save on heating with CheckYout and tado°?
Depending on vacancy and region, up to 30% of heating costs. Away mode activates automatically – only when no next guest is expected on the same day.
How do I set up the tado° connection?
In the CheckYout dashboard, connect your tado° account via OAuth. Then assign thermostats to your properties – done in under three minutes.
Does it work with all tado° devices?
Yes. CheckYout supports all tado° Smart Thermostats and Smart Radiator Valves accessible via the tado° API.
What happens with a short-notice check-in?
When a PMS is connected, CheckYout detects the next arrival and pre-heats automatically in time – even for short-notice bookings.
How it works
Connect tado° account in CheckYout settings
Assign home and zones to the property
Choose: "Away mode" or "All off" at check-out
Optional: Activate warm-up before arrival (requires Smoobu)
Features
Heating off as soon as the guest leaves
At check-out, heating is automatically lowered or turned off in all configured zones. No forgotten heating in empty properties.
Warm when the next guest arrives
With a connected PMS, CheckYout knows the next arrival and activates tado° in time (e.g. 6 hours before). The guest arrives to a warm place.
Control each room individually
Living room, bedroom, bathroom – each zone individually controllable. Directly in the CheckYout dashboard, without the tado° app.
See what you save – in CHF and CO₂
See how much kWh, CHF and CO₂ you save through automatic setback. Per check-out and cumulated.
Never forget a warm welcome
Guests who arrive in a cold apartment write about it in reviews. Not dramatic, but it sticks: "It was still a bit chilly when we arrived." CheckYout solves the problem the other way around: when the next arrival is known from your PMS, CheckYout tells tado° to heat up in advance — for example 4 hours before arrival. You set it up once, then it runs on its own.
Everything runs automatically in the background. You don't have to think about anything — not even at 10 PM.
