According to our thermostat expert
The Tado Smart Thermostat V3 (for HomeKit) is the successor to the Tado Smart Thermostat. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can control the Tado thermostat with the Apple HomeKit app. You can also operate it with the Tado app. In the app you set a weekly schedule which always makes sure your rooms are nice and warm when you come home. The thermostat is constantly in contact with your smartphone, so it knows exactly when you're near your home. This ensures that you'll never heat your house unnecessarily and save a lot of money.
Please note: this thermostat is suitable for all types of boilers. Do you want the thermostat to work in a modulating way? Make sure that your boiler is equipped with an OpenTherm protocol.

I was looking for a smart thermostat but understood from research that most smart thermostats don't save energy at all. And they are often quite expensive to purchase, while the ease of use also leaves a lot to be desired. Earlier I bought a (chinese) thermostat at a hardware store, just under 200, -, but I exchanged it after a week. Reason: no match with kettle and complicated.
The tado is a breath of fresh air. Easy to use, clear explanation (in Dutch), I was able to set separate time schedules for different days. And: before you start the installation, they check for you whether it matches your boiler. That is the case in 95% of the cases, they say.
Now I see at work that the childminder has set a lower or higher temperature. And I see that my wife (who also has the app) is back home. Tado adjusts the temperature based on your position (geofencing). That works fine.
I also think it's important that the device can 'talk' with other home automation systems, such as HomeKit.
The disadvantage is perhaps the lack of information on the device itself: you can see the temperature and you can raise or lower it, that's all. I don't see this as a disadvantage. After all: the screen is in your pocket (your phone).
The relatively high purchase price is something to consider. I see it as an investment; tado claims that you can achieve about 30% less energy costs. I can't endorse that after 2 months of use. But similar devices are in the same price category and meet my requirements less. Nice plus: tado is made in Germany (= solid) and there is no Google (Nest) behind it.

Products are packed very well. Once unpacked, it's time to install. This is done via the TADO website. You fill in the brand and/or type of the old thermostat or button and you will be guided step by step. Never seen anything like it. My compliments to the ICTrs who have designed this. After installation, you can program everything as desired via the App or via the website. This is also going well and smoothly.
What is useful with this system is that you can correct the room temperature so that you can set/reach the actual and desired temperature.

Last year we purchased Tado for the arrangement of our entire house. I spent a lot of time researching what the best system was for a zone control with underfloor heating. Our house had 5 radiator heads and 1 underfloor heating for the ground floor. The installation did not go completely smoothly. We even had to call the emergency number because our underfloor heating was going crazy. Fortunately we were able to call an emergency number from Tado and luckily our floor did not give out.
After a lot of calling and e-mailing with Tado, the floor heating did not work properly. In the end, I indicated that Tado just simply isn't doing what it's supposed to do. Finally, an employee admitted it. If a radiator asks for heat somewhere in the house, the underfloor heating is also heated.
Tado indicated that she had an extension kit, which could possibly solve the problem. They could not give me that guarantee either and this would mean that I had to pull wires. So I thank you very much for this.
Tado has a return process in which you can return the system within a year. We certainly made use of this!
