Tado unveils its slimmed-down, rechargeable Smart Thermostat X (2nd Gen), featuring intuitive controls and expanded multi-home support, promising easier installation and enhanced energy management.
Tado has updated its Smart Thermostat X with a second-generation model that trims the casing, simplifies setup and adds a rechargeable battery. The company says the new unit is 17.8mm thick, making it its slimmest smart thermostat yet, and it replaces the darker styling of the original with a white finish intended to sit more discreetly on the wall.
The front panel now includes an interactive light ring for quick temperature changes, while the centre display shows information such as temperature and humidity. A customisable button on the top edge can resume a heating schedule or provide a temporary boost without opening the app. Tado’s software, which it describes as best in class, still supports remote control and integration with Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Matter.
According to Tado’s store listing, the second-generation model uses a rechargeable battery charged over USB-C, with three hours of charging said to provide more than a year of use. The company also says installation has been made easier through automatic wiring detection and fewer terminals, and that the thermostat is compatible with 95% of European heating systems, including boilers, heat pumps and underfloor heating.
The new model also keeps compatibility with the first-generation X range, which should make upgrades less disruptive for existing users. Tado says this is the only thermostat in its X line-up with a rechargeable battery, and the new design is intended to reduce maintenance as well as visual clutter.
A separate addition is Multi-home, a feature long requested by users with more than one property to manage. Tado says a single account can now cover up to five homes, which should help households looking after second homes or supporting relatives, while also reducing the need to switch accounts in the app. The company says the feature works with its AI Assist subscription, which costs €30 a year and includes automations and energy insights.
Tado is also linking the launch to broader efficiency claims. It says software-based hydronic balancing through smart radiator thermostats could help users qualify for subsidies in some continental European markets. For other households, the practical promise is more consistent heat distribution and lower energy bills.
The Smart Thermostat X (2nd Gen) is on sale now, with prices starting at £110 for the wired thermostat alone or £160 for a starter kit with Bridge X. The wireless version starts at £90 for the sensor on its own or £170 for a kit with the receiver.
