How to set up Tado smart thermostat without Movistar app

Honestly, the best option is to just use the official Tado app directly, which is way simpler than trying to work around it with Movistar. You download the app on your phone, create an account, and connect the thermostat to your WiFi network. The device has a pairing button (you usually need to hold it down for a few seconds) and the app walks you through the whole process. Takes like five minutes total, seriously.

If for some reason you don't want to use the Tado app, you could try setting it up directly from your router by accessing the network interface, but that's way more complicated and most people end up frustrated. The thermostat needs to connect to WiFi anyway, so you're eventually going to end up using something to connect it. The Movistar app typically just controls Movistar services, not smart home devices like Tado, so it's not gonna be much help there.

My recommendation is just use the official app. Download it, follow the steps it gives you, and you're done. Once it's set up, you can use it from anywhere and automate schedules, temperatures, all that stuff. Way more practical than going in circles looking for alternatives that won't work as well.
