Tepi puts every tado° room in one place. If your home mixes tado° V3+ and tado° X, or spreads them across two tado° accounts, you know the problem: two apps, or endless switching between homes. Tepi shows every room in a single list, with the same controls, and never asks which generation you meant. LOCAL, AND NO TADO° SIGN-IN NEEDED Every room, temperature and switch works without one. Changes go straight to the valve over HomeKit, on your own network: in under a second, with no round trip through anyone's servers, and they keep working when your internet is down or tado's API isn't answering. Signing in is optional. It adds what HomeKit doesn't carry: matching rooms to tado°, device health, day-by-day history for V3+, handing a room back to its tado° schedule, and reaching your home when you're away without a HomePod or Apple TV. WHAT'S IN IT • Every room, both generations, all accounts, with current temperature, target, humidity and whether the radiator is actually heating • tado° X paired straight to Apple Home, one room per room however many devices it has • Instant control: drag the bar, nudge by half a degree, Boost or Off • Room groups: switch Upstairs off, or send the bedrooms to Eco, in one tap • Comfort and Eco: two temperatures you set once and send to every room or to a group • Quick actions: All off, Comfort, Eco and Resume from the Home Screen icon • Favourites, custom names, hidden rooms and drag-to-reorder • Link a room to its tado° room by hand when the names don't match • One tap to hand a room, a group or the whole house back to its tado° schedule • Siri and Shortcuts: a room, a group or the whole house, by voice or in a shortcut • Apple Watch: every room on your wrist, with the Digital Crown, Off, Boost, Comfort, Eco and your groups • Room history for tado° V3+, kept by tado°, so it's complete even when the app was closed • Battery, firmware and connectivity for every device TEPI ASSIST (EXPERIMENTAL, OPTIONAL) Off until you turn it on. Presence reminds you when you leave home and when you come back: one tap sets the house to Eco, or hands it back to its tado° schedule. Suggestions learn what you usually do and offer it at the right moment, as few or as many as you like. With Apple Weather on, it also suggests heating up before a cold evening. Tepi learns on your iPhone, and nothing changes until you tap. WHAT IT NEEDS Your tado° devices have to be visible in Apple's Home app. For tado° V3+ that's the Internet Bridge you already own; no hub is required. tado° X uses Matter over Thread, so your home needs Thread, usually from a HomePod, an Apple TV or another Thread border router. Tepi explains what's missing. PRIVACY No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. Your tado° data goes from tado° to your phone and nowhere else, and nothing is collected in the background. If you use Presence, your exact home location stays on your iPhone too. The only thing that ever reaches the developer is a support email, if you write one. You can attach a short summary of your setup: it's off unless you turn it on, and you see every word first. FREE, AND DELIBERATELY SMALL No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases. Tepi is built by one person who got tired of switching between two apps to heat one house.
