ONE way to save cash this winter is by investing in a smart thermostat.
Amazon has slashed the price of the Tado Wired Smart Thermostat by 39% taking the cost down from £179.99 to just £109.

Upgrading the tech that controls your central heating may not seem like a big deal since you can always turn it on and off yourself.
But switching to a smart thermostat can make all the difference to your bills – which most people will appreciate given the current cost of living.
Smart thermostats learn your usage patterns so it’s always on when you’re home, and off when you’re out.
The Tado smart thermostat comes with a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t end up saving you cash.
There are a few smart thermostat brands out there on the market so picking the right one may take a little bit of research.
If you’re interested in looking around at a few other brands, we’ve got more information in our Google Nest vs Hive explainer – the two biggest smart thermostats on the UK market.
Despite the Nest and Hive being household names, Tado leads in intelligent climate control technology across Europe so it’s most definitely still a respectable choice.
Shoppers seem to think so too as we came across this gem sitting at the number 5 spot on Amazon’s best-selling thermostats page.
There’s nothing worse than leaving a window open and having the heating on at the same time since you’ll just be wasting energy.
So having open window detection in the Tado app means you’ll have added peace of mind without having to scour your home for the unattended window.
As with all good smart thermostats, you can control the heating while you’re away and preheat before you get in so it’s nice and toasty.
Tado claims this gives you more control than smart thermostats that turn on and off based on where you are.
No need to dig out old manuals either since it’s compatible with almost all boilers from every manufacturer.
It even goes a step further and can be used to control hydronic underfloor heating – fancy!
Unlike some brands, set-up is simple and there’s no need to pay extra for expert installation, simply follow the instructions and it’ll be up and running in no time.
Once it’s up and running you’re not limited to just using the app to control it as it’s compatible with any Amazon eco-system you may already have meaning say the phrase ‘hey Alexa’ to turn the temp up and down when you’re simply too comfy.
One Amazon shopper who stated it ‘works beautifully’ went on to note they ‘bought for smart home heating and it is sublime. I find Tado to be the best out right now.’
Another buyer writes: ‘Physical installation was very easy using the instructions in the app. Setting up and connecting to Alexa was also very easy and quick.’
Still not set on the Tado thermostat? I spotted an affordable deal last week on the Meross Smart Thermostat reduced from £59 to just £48.
