Tado X support (again)

[karlbeecken]

Hi!

In #93 there was the question whether to add support for the tado X generation to this library. The issue was closed with the comment that tado X would be handled by PyTado, which was the library used by Home Assistant back then.

Today I learnt that there is the plan to use this library instead of PyTado for Home Assistant (home-assistant/core#151933). This raises the question for me: Wouldn't it be a good idea to include tado X support here now?

As a Tado X user: would be much appreciated!

Yes please! Winter is coming...

I will take it in consideration for a later iteration, but the first priority lays with optimizing the API traffic as efficient as possible. :)

@erwindouna What can we do to support you?

I'd also love to see Tado X support!

This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thanks!

Issue is still open

+1 for Tado-X integration. Please note that matter is not equivalent, as provide really minimal info, and for me there are issues, some devices are not able to enter in "matter" mode... so the Tado-X integration is really my only hope :)

Same here, Tado X user with a lot of valves. Some are simply not available for Matter integration (button is just disabled in the UI and nobody know why), some fail peering (while others succeed).

Also Matter does not inform about valve/thermostat battery status (IDK if the API does)?

But the biggest feature I'm expecting is to be able to set / unset away-mode from Home Assistant. Geolocation sucks at doing this properly, and I've got a button next to my main door:

• Up: leaving home
  • Short press : turns off all lights and some appliances
  • Double press: turn on the robot vacuum cleaner
  • Long press: tell Tado the home is now empty <-- that's not possible ATM
• Down: back home
  • Short press: turn on the living room lights after sunset before sunrise
  • Double press: tell Roomba to deck
  • Long press: tell Tado people are back home <-- that's not possible ATM

It would be game changer to me, as I was able to do this with my former Netatmo system!

Another point for considering Tado X support right now: While the API that Tado X (hops.tado.com) uses is similar to the V3 API (my.tado.com), it is not the same and has a few differences in its architecture. While adding basic support for Tado X to https://github.com/wmalgadey/PyTado, this was an issue as the library did not really fit the API scheme of Tado X without some ugly changes that could only be solved by breaking changes.

Not supporting Tado X in this library with it already being planned for use in the HA integration is not a good idea in my opinion, as those mentioned breaking changes for Tado X will make the HA integration changes needed for Tado X further down the line an unnecessary hassle.

That is why I would at least adovocate to design this library in a way to support both V3 and X API schemes before it becomes used widely.
