Pollution and air quality both inside the home has become a global concern as the health effects of poor air are more widely understood. Over the summer of 2019/2020, Australia was ravaged by bushfire, and the air quality was greatly affected, even inside homes. Poor air quality is particularly an issue for children and people with underlying health conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cardiovascular disease.
The tado° system gives users a better insight into the air quality inside their homes and lives. In-app features allow users to track if your home and rooms are too humid or too dry and gives users actionable advice on when to ventilate the home or keep the windows closed.
“Our Smart AC Control is designed to enhance your air conditioning and complement your home,” tado° co-founder chief product officer Christian Deilmann says.
“It’s easy to install in just a few minutes, simple to use, and fits any interior with its sleek design. tado° is the perfect addition to keep you cool and comfortable this summer, while saving you energy. tado° is compatible with ACs/air-to-air heat pumps with an infrared remote control with a display and works with the Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
“The system is compatible with most manufacturers including Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, Daikin, Honeywell, Pioneer, Mitsubishi Electric, Siemens, Hitachi, Haier, Carrier, General Electric, Fujitsu, Frigidaire, Sanyo and Whirlpool.”
