This statement:

tado˚ smart radiator thermostat

The tado˚ smart radiator thermostat is more than just a simple thermostat. It includes advanced algorithms, sensors, Wi-fi, and several other features. In addition, the thermostats have built-in learning capabilities. They can "learn" when people are active. They heat or cool as required using their sensors, by adjusting their schedules. You can also find several branded mobile apps already integrated with smart thermostats. So, you can adjust the temperature from anywhere with a data/Wi-Fi connection.

Is this actually true? Does it mean there is a way of operating my smart thermostats that are out of range of the 868MHz LPWAN internet bridge signal but in range of wifi? Many people have been looking for that, according to postings on this forum for several years. Or is it simply over-enthusiastic marketing?

    I may be mistaken, but I believe it’s via the bridge. No direct control of devices via WiFi.

    Link doesn't work for me but I would say 100% it's a mistake.

    You'd be lucky to get a few days of battery life on an SRT if the device supported WiFi. WiFi needs far more power than so unless there's a massive breakthrough in batteries or consumption, it won't be implemented in the SRTs
