E0
tado° E0 on smart thermostat: pairing failed
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
A tado° device showing E0 (or the warning symbol on the Basic radiator thermostat) failed to pair with the Internet Bridge during installation. Turn on pairing mode on the Bridge, keep 3 to 8 metres apart and hold the device button for 3 seconds.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- E0 shows during installation: until the device pairs it can't control your heating through tado°.
Safe checks you can perform
- Internet Bridge pairing mode
- Distance of 3 to 8 metres and a new attempt
- Reset the pairing of the thermostat or sensor
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Check the Bridge location for the device showing E0
- Do not attempt this professional task: Take an unresolved E0 to tado°

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Check the Bridge location for the device showing E0
What they doThe installer checks where the Internet Bridge sits relative to the tado° devices, the 3 to 8 metre distance during pairing and that the pairing LED activates.
They must show youthe Bridge in pairing mode and the device paired in the app.
In writingwhere the Bridge was placed and which devices were paired.
Take an unresolved E0 to tado°
What they doIf the device won't pair after a reset, the installer or you contact tado° with the attempts made so they can assess the device.
They must show youthe tado° case number and the steps already tried.
In writingtado°'s answer and whether the device is replaced, with the reason.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Internet Bridge pairing mode
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- check the pairing LED on the Internet Bridge is blinking; if not, activate it as your app or guide describes.
- Result that matters:
- whether the pairing LED blinks.
- If it blinks:
- the Bridge is ready; move on to distance and the button.
- If it doesn't:
- E0 is explained by the Bridge not accepting the device.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the Bridge with the LED.

Distance of 3 to 8 metres and a new attempt
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- place the device 3 to 8 metres from the Bridge and hold its button for 3 seconds to restart pairing.
- Result that matters:
- whether pairing completes: on the thermostat or sensor the two chain links stay joined; on the radiator thermostat the three lines or dashes turn solid and on the Basic the warning symbol turns off.
- If it completes:
- E0 came from distance or a failed attempt.
- If it fails again after several attempts:
- reset the pairing (thermostat or sensor) or contact tado° via chat (radiator thermostat).
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the display after the attempt.

Reset the pairing of the thermostat or sensor
- Who:
- you, following tado°'s article on resetting the pairing.
- How:
- if the thermostat or sensor won't pair after several attempts, reset its pairing and start again with the Bridge in pairing mode.
- Result that matters:
- whether the device pairs after the reset.
- If it pairs:
- an earlier pairing was blocking the new one.
- If it doesn't:
- contact tado° support with what you have tried.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of attempts, distances and result.

What it means
tado° says its Smart Thermostat, Wireless Temperature Sensor and Smart Radiator Thermostat show E0 if pairing with the Internet Bridge fails during installation; on the Basic radiator thermostat the warning symbol turns on. To pair, the Bridge must be in pairing mode (pairing LED blinking) and between 3 and 8 metres from the device. E0 doesn't indicate a device or heating fault.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Bridge not in pairing modeCommon
The Bridge pairing LED isn't blinking, so it won't accept new devices.
Evidence: My Smart Thermostat or Wireless Temperature Sensor shows an E0 error. How can I fix this?
- Distance outside the stated rangePossible
tado° asks for 3 to 8 metres between the Bridge and the device. Closer or further can fail.

- Earlier pairing that needs resettingPossible
If it won't pair after several attempts, tado° recommends resetting the pairing of the thermostat or sensor.
