Europe's premier consumer technology show, IFA 2026, is underway in Berlin, showcasing a wave of new gadgets and smart home advancements even before its public opening. Among the early highlights is Tado's new Smart Thermostat X (2nd gen), which is being positioned as a direct successor for European users impacted by Google's exit from the thermostat market.

The Smart Thermostat X aims to attract former Nest users with its advanced features and compatibility, offering a robust alternative in the smart home landscape. This development, alongside other innovations emerging from IFA, signals a dynamic period for consumer electronics, with manufacturers focusing on user experience and integration within evolving smart home ecosystems.
