"tado° company is focused on heating and air conditioning. This week I asked Tado support whether they'll be adding door/window sensors to the product line, this is the response I received. I am also aware 'early adopters' might be more likely to be people with the skills needed to do that but arguably the smart home market has evolved a bit beyond the early adoption stage and now the majority of customers may not be your typical hacker profile.
I am aware that in theory since Tado now have an API potentially customers could write such integration themselves. Since Tado are not it seems working on a big stream of new products this is perhaps an area where they could put more effort. (Technically Alexa and Google Assistant are not smart home platforms but rather they are smart assistants.)
I can accept they might not be able to do all of them or all at the same time but other than HomeKit and IFTTT arguable they have done none. Obviously the most desirable solution would be for Tado to improve their connectivity to various smart home platforms in general. However currently HomeKit does not support some functions - especially for the Tado AC v3 and therefore you still might have limitationsĮven the official Tado IFTTT channel has limitations. (Most other systems only do the opposite of converting non-HomeKit devices to be available to HomeKit.) You could therefore add Tado to HomeAssistant as a HomeKit device and again use MQTT between HomeAssistant and Smartthings.
#ADING A SMARTAPP TO SMARTTHINGS V3 FREE#
There are some 'apps' for HomeAssistant a free open source smart home package which allow HomeAssistant to talk to Tado products.Other than the third-party Smartthings app I mentioned above another potential approach is as follows.
