tado° limits REST API access — what you need to know
Munich-based smart-home maker tado° will impose API rate limits starting this autumn, affecting third-party integrations (eg. Home Assistant, openHAB) that previously accessed many features through an effectively open REST API.
Key points
- New daily query caps: ~100 requests/day without tado° Auto-Assist, and ~20,000 requests/day with Auto-Assist.
- Target date: rollout begins this autumn (2025).
- Impact: automations and integrations that poll devices frequently (thermostats, radiator valves, geofencing-based rules) may need redesign or may hit limits.

What users and integrators can do
- Reduce polling frequency and rely on events where possible.
- Move to official integrations or local control if available.
- Consider subscribing to tado° Auto-Assist if your setup needs higher quotas.
- Test automations ahead of the autumn rollout and monitor for rate-limit responses.
