tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat X, Temperature Control via App and Smart Speaker (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant), Save Heating Costs, DIY Installation

Gather ‘round, fellow warmth seekers and smart home enthusiasts, for I have a tale that’ll make you chuckle, ponder, and perhaps rush to expand your own kingdom of cozy with the tado° Add-on - Smart Radiator Thermostat. Yes, I said “expand,” for my abode was already a bustling metropolis of tado° devices, each serving its lord (that’s me) with unwavering loyalty and precision. Why, you ask, did I choose to add another tado° knight to my round table of radiators? The answer is simple: I was on a quest for the Holy Grail of home comfort, a quest that led me to the realization that one more thermostat was the missing piece in my puzzle of perfect temperature control. Let me paint you a picture of life before this latest addition. Imagine a house so smart, it almost has a degree from Oxford. Yet, there was one room, a rebellious little nook, that remained as chilly as a penguin’s picnic. Enter the tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat, stage right. Installation was easier than convincing a toddler that bedtime is fun. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve dealt with a more complicated setup, I’d have exactly zero nickels. It was as if the thermostat whispered sweet nothings to the radiator, and voilà, they were in sync, spreading warmth like a gossip spreads news. Now, let’s talk about the real magic - the control. With the tado° app, I wield the power of warmth like a wizard with his wand. At the flick of a finger, I can summon heat to the far reaches of my castle (okay, it’s a semi-detached, but let’s not get hung up on details). And the energy savings? Let’s just say my wallet is fatter than it’s been in years, all thanks to the efficiency of my tado° setup. But the pièce de résistance, my friends, is the way this thermostat has brought harmony to my home. No longer do I engage in thermostat wars with my household. We live in a utopia of temperature perfection, where every room is just right, every moment of the day. In conclusion, adding another tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat to my collection was akin to adding another star to the night sky - it just made everything brighter. If you’re on the fence about expanding your tado° empire, let me nudge you over with a promise of warmth, efficiency, and a touch of magic. Five stars, because in a world where you can be anything, tado° chooses to be awesome.

I really rate these Tado thermostats. I find it’s best to match with a room thermostatic for really accurate reasons and ease of adjustment. Slick system and would highly recommend. I’ve got about 20 of these thermostats and none have gone wrong at all in 18 months. Had to charge them once which takes a few hours. When charging it’s worth doing them all in bulk

I was fired by Google/Nest as they mothballed my version of the Nest Learning Thermostat. I was incentivized to get a Tado replacement with a discount voucher. The Tado version of the Nest is a bit tinny compared to the hefty and style of the Nest but much better functionality. BUT purpose of this review - I bought some smart radiator thermostat Xs in Black Friday sales AND they are brilliant (bought 5!) Not tinny and each one can communicate directly with the central receiver - game changer. Heating temperature stability up and costs down! I got ChatGPT to help me optimize the settings. Also crazy easy to install took minutes. Customising the per radiator schedules took longer. Very pleased 😊

Great devices, but expensive and the product details assume an understanding of modern IoT (Internet of Things) standards. Once I grasped these, setup was surprisingly straightforward, but there were significant extra costs (£80) and steps. I've installed mine in the living room which I only use in the evening. It will take a long time to break even, but at least I'm not contributing to global warming unnecessarily and I have started the journey to home automation. ------------------------ Here is some detail for novices, like I was. Modern IoT devices increasingly use Matter — the protocol that allows devices to exchange instructions and events (like “motion detected” or “turn on”). Matter can run over Wi‑Fi for high‑bandwidth devices such as cameras, and over Thread for low‑power, battery‑operated devices like sensors and plugs. Thread is a bit like Wi‑Fi in that it creates a home network, but it’s designed for low‑power devices. Each Thread device forms part of a self‑healing mesh, relaying signals across your home. To connect Thread devices into your wider network, you need a border router — in my case, a HomePod mini (bought second‑hand on eBay for £50). I also added a Matter‑over‑Thread plug (£20) to extend the mesh into the room with the radiators. To power the HomePod mini I needed a USB‑C adapter (£9). For control, I use the Apple Home app for an integrated view, and the Tado app to set up the room temperature schedule. As a final tip, the temperature offset, mentioned by other reviewers as needed because the thermostat is next to a hot radiator, is set to zero as a default. I had to adjust it to -3, and I think that would be a better default. Once I had learned how Matter and Thread fit together, and bought all the components, it was easy to get everything working as I wanted. And now that I’ve got the basics in place, I’ve even added a Matter‑over‑Wi‑Fi security camera to the system.

Wir haben tado schon eine Weile im Einsatz und waren so überzeugt, dass wir alle Räume damit ausgestattet haben. Das Beste: Zuverlässig: Alles läuft absolut stabil. Klasse App: Die Steuerung ist intuitiv, übersichtlich und macht einfach Spaß. Fazit: Ein smartes System, das hält, was es verspricht. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Excellente qualité fonctionne tres bien j’ ai monté tout mon chauffage avec tado il y a 2 ans et ma consommation a vraiment diminué

Ich habe meine ganze Wohnung damit ausgestattet. Installation ist super einfach. Der Batterieverbrauch ist gefühlt etwas hoch, dass kann aber auch von den Steuerzeiten kommen. Durch die sehr einfache Bedinung über die App und festsetzen von steuerzeiten konnte ich meine Heizkosten um mindestens 50% reduzieren.

Vraiment très bien, un bon investissemnt qui permet de contrôler facilement son chauffage et s'installe facilement, s'intègre à Maison d'Apple et se commande à l'iphone, y compris à distance, depuis l'étranger par exemple.
