The Tado API v2

I've been poking around in the Tado smart thermostat API again as the web application now uses v2. Here are the API calls I have found, including how to manually adjust the heating temperature. Tado haven't published their API so this could change and break at any time.

I've been poking around in the Tado smart thermostat API to see what information there is available (for instance to send temperature data to Loggly). Here are the API calls I have found so far by looking at the web application only. Tado haven't published their API so this could change and break at any time.

Sending Tado Data to Loggly

I've just had a Tado smart thermostat installed at home: it's a clever device that controls the boiler, central heating and hot water and is linked to the internet. It has a room thermostat and takes account of the external temperature as well. You can control it from your smart phone or from the web app and, if you want, it will track your location so that when you leave the house it turns the temperature down and brings it up again in time for when you get home again.

I expect the web app and the mobile app are both in constant development and right now there are features only available in one or the other. For instance, you can only set the hot water schedule in the web app but can only see the historic temperature data in the mobile app (you have to turn your phone to landscape orientation to make it magically appear).

I wanted to see the historical temperature data on my computer instead of my phone so I had a poke around and have found a way to get hold of the data on one of my Raspberry Pis and send it to Loggly to graph it.
