### More Information

This plugin is a fork of the verified [homebridge-tado-platform](https://github.com/seydx/homebridge-tado-platform). The original plugin is no longer maintained (last update: May 30, 2021, over four years ago). Additionally, tado° will introduce breaking changes to their REST API on March 21, 2025, discontinuing password-based authentication, which will render the current plugin non-functional. Moreover, the existing plugin is not compatible with Homebridge v2.0 and has numerous open issues (60).

I therefore decided to create a fork and implemented the following changes:

- Implemented the new authentication workflow for the tado° REST API based on their [official instructions](https://support.tado.com/en/articles/8565472-how-do-i-authenticate-to-access-the-rest-api)
- Added full support for Homebridge v2.0 (it is also shown as compatible when using Homebridge v1.X)
- Updated all dependencies to their latest version
- Added new authentication workflow to config-ui
- Fixed an issue that caused HomeKit from pairing with the bridge (Error: Accessory out of compliance)
- Fixed an issue where the plugin crashed after startup due to a type error after upgrading got
- Removed AirQuality feature (https://github.com/seydx/homebridge-tado-platform/issues/152#issuecomment-2708942491)
- Fixed an issue where the current temperature has been set to the target temperature after changing the target temperature through Apple Home
- Fixed an issue that caused Apple Home from pairing with the bridge (Error: Accessory out of compliance)
- Fixed an issue where the plugin crashed after startup due to errors after upgrading got
- Fixed minor bugs

The rest of the code remains unchanged.
