So, what is a smart thermostat? Put simply, it's a device that connects your heating system to your smart phone, making it super easy to control your heating and hot water, from any location. The Tado smart thermostat is one of the most affordable options currently available on the market and comes highly rated in our round up of the best. Here's what it has to offer:
Climate Assistant
The Tado smart thermostat works to learn your heating behaviours, adjusting the climate of each room individually, depending on your preferences. Plus, it offers practical advice to help prevent mould, reduce humidity, improve air quality and more.
It's through this understanding of your heating behaviours – by which we mean how, when and where you heat your home – that it helps users to save money. By identifying where energy is used unnecessarily, Tado can make recommendations that will ultimately lead to users reducing their energy usage and the cost of their bills.
Geofencing
Another handy feature that helps (particularly forgetful) homeowners to reduce the cost of their monthly bills is geofencing. Using GPS to track your location, Tado ensures you never heat an empty house. How? Well, it's programmed to turn off your heating automatically the moment you step outside of a pre-allocated geo-fence. This ensures energy is saved, even if you forget.
The most affordable smart thermostat available
Although the Tado is half the price of similar models, it is compatible with a range of heating systems, including underfloor heating, and you can use it alongside the Amazon Echo for complete smart home functionality.
