Tado° AI Assist: Transforming Smart Heating from Automation to Intelligence for Up to 55% More Savings

tado° AI Assist easy to use

Heating remains the single largest energy expense for European households, accounting for a massive 79% of the average energy bill. While smart thermostats have offered a degree of automation for years, the next revolution in home energy management is here. European market leader, tado°, has announced the launch of AI Assist, a groundbreaking service built on 15 years of data that promises to take heating control beyond simple pre-set rules and into the realm of true, real-time intelligence. This new era of AI-powered heating is designed to deliver not only greater comfort, smart heating and lower bills but also significant emissions reduction, marking a major milestone in creating a truly conscious home.

The Evolution from Automation to Intelligence with Smart Heating

For years, the industry’s focus has been on automating heating schedules, but as tado° Co-Founder Christian Deilmann states, "automation is just the start." The release of AI Assist marks a clear pivot, moving systems from following static rules to actively thinking ahead.

This intelligence is not outsourced; it is a completely in-house developed system utilising deep neural networks. The foundation of this intelligence is staggering: over 120 billion hours of anonymised heating data collected from more than a million connected homes over 15 years. This massive dataset allows AI Assist to learn and predict the unique heat-up and cool-down characteristics of your home, and adapt to your personal life. Unlike older automated systems that merely react, tado°'s new AI optimises in real-time, making your heating truly adaptive and vastly more efficient.

Unlocking Maximum Savings and Comfort with AI Assist

For customers using tado°’s latest generation devices, the potential for increased efficiency is significant. Internal modelling suggests that households can save up to 55% more compared to operating a tado° system without the advanced AI Assist features. Available for the accessible price of €29.99 per year (or €3.99 per month), the subscription unlocks a suite of intelligence-driven features for tado° X users:

• Adaptive Heating: Using tado° AI, the system learns the specific thermal characteristics of every room in your house. It meticulously fine-tunes the control of your Smart Radiator Thermostats to find the perfect balance between sustained comfort and reduced energy consumption.

• Preheat Before Arrival: Say goodbye to wasted energy heating an empty house. tado° AI uses advanced machine learning combined with geofencing to accurately predict your return time, preheating your home just in time for your arrival, ensuring maximum comfort the moment you walk through the door.

• Energy IQ: Gain clarity over your consumption. These AI-powered insights reveal precisely where and how your energy is being used, empowering you to make smarter, data-driven decisions that lead to even bigger savings.

• Holiday Mode: Effortlessly set your heating to match your time away. This mode ensures you return to a comfortable home environment without having wasted energy on unnecessary heating while you were on holiday.

A Conscious Home: Environmental Impact at Scale

The impact of this technology extends far beyond individual utility bills. Domestic heating is a major contributor to European carbon emissions. By dramatically cutting unnecessary heating, AI Assist offers comfort with a conscience.

tado° analysis highlights the potential for massive change in the fight against climate change. The company estimates that if every household in Germany adopted AI Assist, it could reduce annual CO2 emissions by up to 48.4 million tonnes—a figure equivalent to taking 37 million fuel-burning cars off the road. While AI is not the sole solution to the climate crisis, its ability to foster a conscious, energy-efficient home environment is undeniable and scalable.

Pricing, Availability, and the tado° X Ecosystem

AI Assist is available today for all tado° X customers as part of the paid subscription (€29.99/year or €3.99/month). In a move benefiting its current user base, existing Auto Assist subscribers on the tado° X platform will be automatically upgraded to AI Assist at no extra cost, ensuring they benefit immediately from the new intelligence features.

This advanced intelligence is designed to integrate seamlessly with the latest generation of tado° products, the tado° X range, introduced in 2024. This comprehensive ecosystem includes the Smart Thermostat X, Smart Radiator Thermostat X for individual room control, the Heat Pump Optimizer X for greater efficiency in modern systems, and the essential Bridge X for internet connectivity. The tado° X range ensures that every component of your heating system works together to achieve optimal efficiency, marking the true arrival of intelligent home energy management.
