I would not recommend the tado system. technically it works pretty good but a lot of basic features are traped behind a paywall and are designed to be very annoying. for the price you pay for the hardware this is definitely not worth it.

great
after just one year it's paid for it's self well pleased
This is easily one of the worst apps I've ever used. It is so full of bugs that it drives me mad. If you get a new phone you'll spend weeks messing about trying to explain it to this awful app. I'm getting a new thermostat because I cannot cope with this garbage app anymore. I hate Google for killing my perfect 13 year old Nest.
A lot of key functionality is locked behind a pay wall. It's ridiculous that to see the temparature profile for a previous day is locked behind a paywall. It's a joke! The unit is good and easy to setup but the fact that I cannot see how the thermostat worked a previous day stinks of greed.
Useless notification categories: general and Geofencing, what about how to disable the "you saved x past Month" but keep important things like open window detected?
Awful. no way to get rid of the promotional AI assist offer. When you press the button you get an animation first. A bird animation even when I've disabled open window detection. I just want to see the temperature!
I am rather fed up with the app and the ecosystem as a whole. Every new bridge is no longer compatible with previous devices with no regard for the paying customer. Bridge X is not compatible with old thermostats, even though they could have added 6LoWPAN. The v3+ bridge does not get Matter support even though it can already handle HAP. And finally, there is a hard limit of 100 API calls per day to sell a subscription! The customer is here noticeably less important than the profit.
Limiting API calls for third party integrations unless you pay. Not a good look. Dishonest company who censor reviews on other platforms. Just avoid.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
