In reply to Moneycorgi. Thanks for commenting Moneycorgi. I've had to look into that one! From what I can see some of them give you an option to rent or buy. If you buy there is no monthly fee.

From what I've seen a lot of these smart home meters cost money to have fitted and then a monthly fee to run? if that's the case they'd need to save the owner more money than they currently do in order to be worth it.

In reply to Busygreenmum. Yes you are right, you do need to keep location turned on with Tado when you leave home and when you are coming home but you can leave it off between those times.

These sound good. We'd only really looked at Hive and wasnt sure it would be thst much different to using our thermostat carefully so good to hear about other options. Presumably with yours you need to keep the location turned on on your phone ( and Internet? ) for it to know where you are? Just wondering as I always turn these off to save battery and son has to turn phone off at school.
