With autumn well and truly making itself known, you’re probably tinkering around with the thermostat to keep things warm. What better time to upgrade your heating system? Tado is a popular choice for smart heating, and the brand is revamping its smart thermostat later this year. The new Tado X thermostat will be easier to install and use, bringing smart heating to more people.

With the new range, Tado make smart heating simpler, more reliable, and more accessible. There are five new products: the Wired and Wireless Smart Thermostat X, Smart Radiator Thermostat X, Wireless Temperature Sensor X, and a brand new Heat Pump Optimizer X. They aim to simplify setup, usage, and integration into your smart home. They’re also designed to cut heating costs by a whopping 19% on average without compromising on comfort.

Thanks to Matter and Thread compatibility, they offer greater range and more stable coverage. Of course, you can still hook them up to voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. The new smart devices also feature upgraded displays. Plus, the Smart Radiator Thermostat X comes with a rechargeable battery via USB-C.

All the energy-saving bells and whistles that made Tado a household name are here: Smart Scheduling, Geofencing to lower the heat when everyone’s out, Open Window Detection, and more. The X range also adds some fresh displays for a smoother user experience. For example, the Smart Radiator Thermostat X now features a rechargeable battery via USB-C, because fiddling with AA batteries is so last decade.

The Tado X range will be available in the UK from November. When the devices launch, pricing will be as follows:

  • Wireless Smart Thermostat X Starter Kit for £160
  • Wired Smart Thermostat X Starter Kit (with Bridge X) for £160
  • Smart Radiator Thermostat X Starter Kit (with Bridge X) for £140
  • Smart Radiator Thermostat X for £80
  • Smart Radiator Thermostat X Quattro pack for £261
  • Wireless Temperature Sensor for £90
  • Heat Pump Optimizer X fir £230
  • Bridge X Thread border router for £60

After the devices launch, you’ll be able to order direct from Tado, or from Amazon. We’ll let you know when the devices are ready to be snapped up.
