I believe there are similar ideas, not least because the internet (or Tado's servers) can go down and that shouldn't cause your heating and hot water to stop working - the most notable thread is here:

Basically there needs to be a requirement where the system can run locally - either new hardware bridge, or some sort of 'proxy' Tado server based on a running Phone, PC or Mac that can be that.
