Smart thermostat
Smart thermostats are thermostats that can be used with home automation and are responsible for controlling a home's heating and/or air conditioning. They perform similar functions as a Programmable thermostat as they allow the user to control the temperature of their home throughout the day using a schedule, but also contain additional features, such as sensors and WiFi connectivity, that improve upon the issues with programmable thermostats,
Tado°
In June 2015 tado° launched its second product, the Smart AC Control. It is not a thermostat. It turns any air conditioning unit into a smarter device. tado° Smart AC Control uses a smartphone's location to be able to determine if the resident is at home or not and automatically turns the AC on or off. The air conditioner can also be manually operated via the Smart AC Control using the tado° App.
