Finding HomeID

Your username and password will be the same ones that you login to the Tado App/Website with. Luckily, finding your homeID isn't too hard.

To do this we will use the old Tado API, the /getCurrentState call returns our homeID along with some other data.

Simply amend the URL below so it has your Tado username/password in it then copy paste it into a browser.

https://my.tado.com/mobile/1.4/getCurrentState?username=ACTUAL_USERNAME&password=ACTUAL_PASSWORD

This should return something like this (albeit not formatted nicely on one line):

{
  "success": true,
  "operation": "HOME",
  "autoOperation": "HOME",
  "operationTrigger": "SYSTEM",
  "insideTemp": 27.08,
  "setPointTemp": 5,
  "controlPhase": "UNDEFINED",
  "boxConnected": null,
  "gwConnected": null,
  "tsConnected": null,
  "currentUserPrivacyEnabled": null,
  "currentUserGeoStale": null,
  "deviceUpdating": false,
  "homeId": 12345,
  "pendingDeviceInstallation": false
}

Sift through the json to find the homeId near the end and you're good to go.
