About

The heating and cooling of buildings is one of the main global consumers of energy and sources of carbon emissions. In Europe, heating and cooling in buildings and industry accounts for half of the continent’s energy consumption, making it the biggest energy end-use sector ahead of transport. [1]

The company focuses on intelligent home climate management and offers several solutions for consumers and businesses. This includes smart thermostats and AC controls for consumers, and SaaS products for energy utilities and heating service companies. As a cross-manufacturer solution, tado° works seamlessly with any kind of heating or cooling system for all kinds of homes.

tado° is an integral part of the energy transition from centralised power distribution to user-centric virtual power plants. Managing a capacity of over 4GW of energy, tado° is equipped to maximise agile tariffs and demand response requirements for a more energy-efficient, sustainable, and smarter grid.

Furthermore, tado° offers remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and repair services of heating systems for users, energy utilities and heating services companies.

History

tado° was founded in Munich by Christian Deilmann, Johannes Schwarz and Valentin Sawadski in September 2011.[2] The company name is derived from the Japanese salutation "tadaima" ("I'm back home") and "okaeri" ("Welcome back") since Geofencing has been the first key feature of the tado° system already in 2011. [3]

In 2012; the company’s first-generation smart thermostat and app went to market in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, followed by a UK launch in 2013. [4] In 2014, [5] tado° launched its second-generation smart thermostat across Europe followed by the global launch of its Smart AC Control in 2015. [6] In 2016, tado° introduced its Smart Radiator Thermostats in Europe for multi-room control. Toon Bouten joined the company as CEO in 2017. [7] In 2019, tado° launched its SaaS product - tado° 360 [8] - which remotely monitors the status and health of boilers.

tado° has received over $100 USD in venture capital funding and investment. Investors include Amazon, [9] Total, E.ON, the European Investment Bank, and Siemens.
