Our overview
A smart thermostat is one of the more practical ways to take control of heating as the colder months arrive. This wired kit replaces your existing room thermostat and comes with the Bridge X, so you can set schedules and adjust the temperature from your phone or a smart speaker. It is designed for DIY fitting and works with boilers that support relay or OpenTherm connections, which covers many UK systems. The main thing to check is compatibility: the X range does not mix with older tado V3+ kit in the same app home, and there are different generations and wireless versions available. Use tado's compatibility checker against your boiler and wiring before buying, and consider a professional install if you are not comfortable with wiring.
