AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS

What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is all about connecting everyday objects with the internet, which become smart because of this.

Objects can be defined as smart, if they consist of sensors, software systems or data memories, which enable a data exchange with one or multiple other smart devices. This structure enables data to be available at the right time in the right place.

SMART HOME

The home of the future

tado° makes your home environment smart. The focus is on proceedings and systems, which enables a smart connection and control of devices in someone’s own home - the result is an intelligent IoT-networked building.

tado° is constantly evolving to incorporate the latest trends in smart home technology - since 2012 tado° has been connecting heating systems with the internet and makes their control even smarter. Since June 2015 it’s also possible to intelligently control air conditioners with the innovative Smart AC Control.

What is the connection of tado° with the Internet of Things?

tado° concentrates on the intelligent control of heating systems and air conditioners.

With the Smart Thermostat and its mobile app the heating system will be connected with the internet and can be controlled in an intelligent way. The smart heating control of tado° considers weather forecasts and individual building characteristics to set the optimal temperature.

The same applies to the Smart AC Control for air-conditioning systems. This completes the circle of the Internet of Things.
