Is tado° X the smart heating upgrade Honeywell Evohome users are waiting for?
I replaced my entire Evohome setup with tado° X and tested it with Home Assistant & Matter.
I’ve been using Honeywell Evohome for years with 16 radiator thermostat knobs, but tado° asked me to test their brand-new tado° X smart heating system. In this in-depth review, I compare tado° X vs Honeywell Evohome, test real-world heating performance, and show how tado° X works with Home Assistant using Matter.
