As a wall thermostat for boilers and heat pumps, the tado° Wired Smart Thermostat X switches heating through a relay or OpenTherm. It pairs over Matter on Thread with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa, and Home Assistant works through its Matter integration, although tado° says it does not officially support Home Assistant. Any Thread border router will do, including tado°'s Bridge X. It runs on 3 × AAA batteries.
