Christian Deilmann co-founded tado° in Munich in 2011 with Johannes Schwarz and Valentin Sawadski, with the team having begun development a year earlier. An engineer by background with ties to the Technical University of Munich, he set out with his co-founders to tackle the inefficiency of manual, disconnected home thermostats in a smartphone era where residential heating consumes a large share of household energy. He served as tado°'s founding CEO and built the company into one of Europe's largest smart climate-control providers, with retrofit smart thermostats and radiator controls suited to the continent's boiler-and-radiator heating. He continues with the company as a managing director and product leader.
Johannes Schwarz co-founded tado° in Munich in 2011 alongside Christian Deilmann and Valentin Sawadski, serving as the company's technical architect and chief technology officer. An engineer with roots at the Technical University of Munich, he led the development of tado°'s smart thermostats, Smart Radiator Thermostats, and the software that optimizes home heating against dynamic energy tariffs and weather. After tado° secured a strategic investment from Panasonic in early 2025, he became the company's CEO in April 2025, taking over leadership of the European smart-heating business he helped build.
Valentin Sawadski co-founded tado° in Munich in 2011 with engineers Christian Deilmann and Johannes Schwarz, joining as the team's product specialist. He helped shape tado°'s early retrofit smart-thermostat products and the user experience that made connected heating accessible to homes with conventional European central heating rather than new-build systems. He was part of the founding trio that grew tado° into a leading European smart climate-control company serving roughly a million homes.

A retrofit Wi-Fi smart thermostat designed for European boiler-and-radiator and underfloor heating systems, controlling whole-home heating and hot water from an app. It adds geofencing, weather adaptation, open-window detection, and multi-room control, and works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home, and Matter. tado° sells it both directly and through energy and heating partners across Europe, positioning it as an accessible upgrade for homes with conventional central heating rather than new-build smart systems.
Wireless thermostatic radiator valves that replace standard radiator knobs to enable room-by-room temperature scheduling, a key need in European homes heated by individual radiators. Each unit communicates with the tado° bridge and app, letting residents zone their heating, detect open windows, and cut consumption in unused rooms. Combined with tado°'s tariff-optimization software, the radiator thermostats let households shift and reduce heating energy in response to dynamic electricity and gas pricing.
