As households brace themselves for a 10% rise in the UK energy price cap from 1 October, the new Tado° X range of smart thermostats and sensors, smart radiator thermostats and heat pump optimizer X promises savings of 19% on average, and control over heating bills.
With easy set up, Tado° X has smart scheduling and other features allowing people to set their desired heating temperatures, and runs on Matter over Thread to integrate seamlessly with other smart home products. Its Thread mesh network also offers greater radio range and coverage for larger properties.
The full range of new tado° X products are:
Tado° X also integrates energy management features to cut consumption and bills, including smart scheduling, geofencing to turn down the heating when everyone is away, open window detection, energy IQ information and tips on cutting consumption, weather adaptation, and air comfort.
The X devices have new displays for a better user experience, while the Smart Radiator Thermostat X comes with a battery that can be recharged by a USB-C cable.
Tado° CPO and Co-founder, Christian Deilmann, said: “Our latest generation of products are another step on Tado°’s mission to make it simpler for millions of homes to decrease their energy consumption and bills without compromising on comfort.
“A survey of Tado° customers in the UK revealed that 84% of them do not expect energy prices to fall to pre-Ukraine invasion levels within the next few years, while two-thirds are more aware or worried about their heating bills than they were five years ago.
“October’s price cap rise of 10% is unwelcome news for all households and another indicator of why it is important to take control of your heating consumption and bills. With savings of 19% on average in the UK, the new Tado° X products will pay for themselves within a few months and then go on to save customers money as well as cutting their carbon footprint.”
Tado° X is future-proofed by its adoption of the Matter standard, meaning greater interoperability with other smart home products and platforms, and can be controlled by voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home. Customers can either use a Bridge X or the Wireless Smart Thermostat X to establish their own Thread mesh network for device communication, or use a third party Thread border router such as Apple HomePod.
The new Heat Pump Optimizer X brings control and greater efficiency to heat pumps, and when combined with Tado°’s Balance subscription service and dynamic tariffs it can lead to increased savings. The Heat Pump Optimizer X also works with Tado°’s Smart Radiator Thermostat X and Wireless or Wired Smart Thermostat X (for most underfloor heating setups) to deliver even more efficiencies and give temperature control for individual rooms and zones.
Because Tado° X is built on a completely new and different technical platform to V3+ and previous Tado° generations, it is not compatible with these devices. V3+ products will continue to be sold, supported and their operation will not be affected.
