Tado has announced their latest smart home device, the new Tado Smart AC Control, and it is compatible with Apple’s HomeKit.
The new Smart AC Control V3+ comes with a new app and it has gone on sale in the UK and Europe for £89.99.
With an emphasis on promoting a healthy home environment, the new app has a fresh design and introduces several features, such as the Air Comfort Skill which measures air freshness inside and outside of your home. It also provides meaningful tips and advice on how to improve your indoor air as healthy air can enhance sleep and productivity, while minimising the risk of catching a cold.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Comfort
The Air Comfort Skill complements a range of features like Geofencing, Open Window Detection, Weather Adaptation, and insightful energy reports that save energy and improve comfort. Users can also make use of the Smart Schedule and settings to minimise AC noise levels and disruption by managing the fan speed and the time when it’s running.
Geofencing is particularly useful as it uses your smartphone’s location to determine when you are approaching home, automatically adjusting the AC settings to ensure a comfortable temperature upon your arrival. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy savings by reducing unnecessary cooling when no one is home.
Open Window Detection is another smart feature that helps in conserving energy. It detects when a window is open and temporarily turns off the AC to prevent energy wastage. This is especially useful during the summer months when you might want to let in some fresh air without compromising on energy efficiency.
Integration with Smart Home Ecosystems
The Tado Smart AC Control V3+ is designed to seamlessly integrate with various smart home ecosystems, including Apple’s HomeKit. This compatibility allows users to control their AC units using Siri voice commands, making it easier to adjust settings without needing to reach for their smartphones. Additionally, it can be integrated with other HomeKit-enabled devices to create a more cohesive and automated home environment.
For instance, you can set up scenes in the Home app that include the Tado Smart AC Control. Imagine a “Good Morning” scene that not only adjusts your AC to a comfortable temperature but also turns on your smart lights and starts your coffee maker. Such integrations make daily routines more convenient and efficient.
Moreover, the Tado app provides detailed energy reports that offer insights into your AC usage patterns. These reports can help you identify opportunities to save energy and reduce your electricity bills. By understanding when and how your AC is used, you can make informed decisions to optimize its operation.
