My god, I'm such a ******* idiot. This entire time I thought this thread was about Tapo (TP-Link stuff). Apologies!

I too use tado.i will be ripping it out and asking for a full refill if they start chargingSo they are testing the waters with their BS 'marketing' as they say. It is only £1 a month but that isn't the point as it paves the way for future increases in price as per every other subscription out there. I've got my setup hooked into Homekit so I can still (and will) do away with the Tado app if they go down this route. The other smart home hubs like Alexa and G.Home can also be used in place of the app but obviously a functionality is lost.
I've got Tado at my place since 2020 and at my mothers since 2018 iirc. She hasn't got a homekit setup so I may need to look at something in future (get her a cheap apple hub).
Tado Marketing Test
Looks like to use the Tado app from May 2025, you will now have to pay a £1/month subscription, just to get access to your heating controls.community.tado.com
