Smart Wired Thermostat tado° X (2nd gen)

tado° X Smart Wired Thermostat (2nd Generation)

Is your current thermostat still running on fixed schedules, heating your home even when nobody's there? With the tado° X Smart Wired Thermostat (2nd Generation), you can take better control of your heating and avoid wasting energy. Backed by 15 years of experience in smart heating technology, it combines a clean, modern design with features that help you heat your home more efficiently. You could save an average of 22% on heating costs, with independent research by the Fraunhofer Institute reporting savings of up to 28%.

Depending on your heating habits and energy use, the savings can help cover the cost of the thermostat over time. You'll also enjoy more control over your heating and a more comfortable home.

Why Choose the Wired Version?

This model is designed for homes that already have a wired wall thermostat, for example, one that controls underfloor heating or a gas boiler. Instead of installing new wiring, you can usually replace your existing thermostat using the same connections, provided your heating system is compatible. The matte white finish blends in neatly with your wall, making it a practical choice that looks good in any room.

Do You Need a Bridge X?

To connect your thermostat to your smartphone and the internet, you'll need a compatible Thread Border Router. The Bridge X isn't included with this thermostat, but you may already have everything you need. Here's how to check:

• You DON'T need an additional Bridge X if:

  • You already have a compatible smart home hub, such as an Apple HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K, Google Nest Hub (2nd generation), or Amazon Echo (4th generation).

  • You already have another tado° X device that came with a Bridge X, or you use a tado° Heat Pump Optimizer.

• You'll NEED a tado° Bridge X if:

  • You don't have any of the compatible Thread devices listed above. (Please note: the older tado° V3+ Internet Bridge doesn't work with the newer X range.)

Features That Help You Save Energy

• Control your heating from anywhere: Use the free tado° app to change your heating settings wherever you are. Set up schedules to lower the temperature at night or while you're out at work. Your schedules are stored on the thermostat, so they'll continue to run even if your internet connection goes down.

• Compatible with Relay and OpenTherm systems: The thermostat supports a wide range of heating systems used across Europe. It works with traditional Relay (On/Off) boilers and compatible OpenTherm systems that allow more precise control. It can adapt to different heating setups, including underfloor heating, which takes longer to warm up, and gas boilers that respond more quickly. This helps your system run more efficiently and reduces unnecessary heating.

• Bring your heating together across rooms: Add tado° Smart Radiator X thermostats to your radiators and connect them with your wall thermostat. Each room can request heat when needed, helping you keep the rooms you use comfortable without heating the whole house unnecessarily.

• Install it yourself: The tado° app walks you through the installation with step-by-step instructions for your heating system. If your setup is compatible and you're comfortable working with the existing wiring, you may not need to call in an installer.

• Matter and Thread support: Connect your heating to a compatible smart home system, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Matter helps compatible devices from different brands work together, while Thread provides a reliable, low-power wireless connection.

What's New in the tado° X (2nd Generation)?

The tado° X range brings a fresh design and practical features that make everyday use easier. Here's what you can expect:

1. Rechargeable battery: No need to keep buying replacement batteries. The built-in rechargeable battery is designed to last through the heating season on a single USB-C charge.

2. Humidity shown on the display: Check both the room temperature and humidity at a glance. Keeping track of humidity can help you maintain a more comfortable indoor environment.

3. Touch-sensitive Light Ring: Changing the temperature is simple. Just slide your finger around the edge of the thermostat to adjust the setting, with the change shown on the LED display.

4. Child Lock: Have young children or curious pets at home? You can lock the thermostat's physical controls in the app to prevent accidental changes to the temperature.

5. Customisable button: Set up the button on top of the thermostat for quick access to the functions you use most often.

Manage Your Heating with the tado° App

The tado° app is available for iOS and Android and gives you an easy way to manage your heating, keep an eye on energy use, and make your home more comfortable.

Free features you can keep using:

• Smart notifications: Geofencing and Open Window Detection help you avoid heating an empty home or wasting energy when a window is open. The app can send you a notification when it looks like nobody is home and ask if you'd like to turn the heating down. You can then respond with a single tap.

• Adjusts to the weather: The thermostat takes local weather forecasts into account and can adjust your heating when warmer, sunnier weather is on the way, helping you avoid using more heat than you need.

Auto-Assist (optional paid subscription): Want your heating to adjust automatically without having to respond to notifications? Auto-Assist lets geofencing and Open Window Detection work in the background, adjusting your heating as you leave home or open a window. The subscription also includes detailed energy usage insights through Energy IQ and heating system monitoring with Care & Protect, which can alert you to potential issues such as low boiler pressure or system errors.
