Tado and Bosch will in future be working more closely together on the subject of smart homes. Tado offers solutions for smart heating and cooling, while Bosch offers comprehensive smart home systems and services as well as heating systems that can be controlled by tado. The tado solutions are now to be more deeply integrated into the Bosch services.
As the first step in the partnership, the tado software for heating and cooling will be integrated into the Home Connect Plus app from Bosch via the smart radiator and room thermostats. Users of the app can now link a wide variety of smart home devices and entire systems from different manufacturers, control them centrally and define personalized automation scenarios and also link this with tado.
The software from tado offers functions such as geofencing, schedules, window-open detection, information on indoor air, control taking into account the weather forecast, as well as care & amp; Protect, which users can use to identify faults in the heating system and arrange fitter appointments via the app.
Tado advances in the housing industry
Just a few days ago, Tado had raised further growth capital of 38 million euros (46 million US dollars) from the noventic group and existing investors. The noventic group is a Europe-wide group of companies for climate-smart real estate. In the future, Tado would like to develop and sell new digital solutions for the real estate industry together with the noventic group. The new capital should therefore also be used for the development of new technologies and for OEM solutions for the manufacturers of heating and air conditioning systems. In addition, tado plans to continue to expand into new markets.
Yeelight is also opening up Bosch's platform
In addition to Tado, smart home devices from Yeelight can also be integrated into the Home Connect Plus app from Bosch in the future, so that they can be linked to devices and systems from other manufacturers and used in automations.
The team behind Home Connect Plus is an independent start-up from Robert Bosch GmbH and tries to unite the previously rugged smart home systems under one service across all manufacturers in order to reduce complexity reduce and increase compatibility. The Home Connect Plus app has recently been available for Android and iOS.
