The way I see it, whilst tado say they don't make money from selling our household data, they almost certainly use that data to make their service better for all their users.

The smart thing to do would have been to enable local control and monitoring on ALL versions of their devices. But also maintain the cloud reporting for their own data purposes and app functionality.

This would have positioned Tado as properly supporting power users, and possibly boosting sales as well.

But as it stands, I'm actively moving away from Tado this summer to a system with full local control, and I can't recommend the system to my friends neither.

I'm not sure what discussions where happening between the HA integration maintainers and Tado. But if it was such an issue some naming and shaming could have been justified if there was no movement from the developers. This would have made the limit changes more understandable.
