Compatibility
Model Predictive Control
tado° does not require presence or absence time programming. Patents have been
filed for the algorithms which automatically adjust the heating output to the user‘s
needs. A building model is automatically created for each household which allows
tado°‘s proprietary model of predictive control to include weather forecasts in the
control strategy and therefore optimize energy usage and comfort at home.
Location Based Heating
The tado° Smart Thermostat controls the temperature automatically depending on the
residents location and distance from home and will only heat when it is really needed.
Encryption of Communication
Any communication between web browsers or smartphones and the tado° application
servers is encrypted with TLS 1.2 (SSL) Encryption with a 2048-bit Extended Validation
Certificate.
The communication between the tado° Bridge and the tado° Application Servers is
encrypted with TLS 1.2 (SSL) using 256-bit elliptical curve encryption.
The radio communication between the tado° devices uses AES-CCM encryption. The
key is exchanged by pairing the devices as part of the initial installation procedure.
Intelligence & Security
COMPATIBILITY CHECK
If tado° is bought online the compatibility is
checked during the installation process.
In cases where tado° is bought from an
installer, they will check the compatibility.
