"Smart thermostat company Tado is launching new AI-powered features that aim to help users heat their homes more efficiently. Tado says the AI Assist update builds on the company's existing Auto Assist options by introducing "advanced machine-learning" that "learns, predicts, and optimizes" heating in real time. AI Assist is available in Europe and the UK today for all Tado X owners at the same price as the company's existing subscription (£29.99 a year or £3.99 per month)."
"Adaptive Heating: Learns the unique heat-up and cool-down characteristics of each room with Tado AI. It fine-tunes the control of your Smart Radiator Thermostats to optimize comfort and energy efficiency.Preheat Before Arrival: Tado AI uses advanced machine learning to predict when you'll return home and preheats your home in time for your arrival.Energy IQ : Uses AI-powered insights that reveal exactly where and how you're using energy, enabling smarter decisions and bigger savings."
"Features like Energy IQ and an Away Mode for vacations were already included as part of Tado's existing Auto Assist service, so this update doesn't sound like a giant technological leap forward. Other smart home companies like Nest have offered similar features without labelling them as "AI" innovations, so it's unclear if Tado's use of AI has substance, or is just a buzzword-heavy rebrand."
Tado is launching AI Assist for Tado X owners in Europe and the UK at the company's existing subscription price (£29.99/year or £3.99/month). The update uses advanced machine learning to learn, predict, and optimize heating in real time. Features include Adaptive Heating that learns heat-up and cool-down patterns per room, Preheat Before Arrival to predict returns and preheat homes, Energy IQ that provides AI-powered usage insights, and Holiday Mode to set heating schedules during time away. Existing Auto Assist subscribers receive automatic upgrades, while older Tado hardware will not support the new AI. The update closely resembles previous features and may be more rebranding than transformational AI.
