This smart thermostat company is considering charging users for its app | European smart home company Tado surprised some users with a notification about a new subscription fee


Tado considers monthly app fee

Multiple users have reported that Tado, manufacturers of smart thermostats, radiator valves, and heat pump controllers for Europe and the UK, sent a message through their app alerting them to the impending charge.
