Use your gas meter / smart meter :-)
SMETS2 meters ave very accurate nowdays...

tado° brings real-time energy cost visualisation into its app

Yes, we are releasing this feature soon. It is already in beta.
We estimate (heating) energy consumption based on historic tado° heating data. To make an accurate estimate, we need the energy consumption data from at least two energy bills. Just the meter readings, no personal data. We need this data to calibrate our abstract heating data to your individual heating system.
Preview from the beta:
As far as I know there are a few requirements:
- Auto Assist: Enabled
- No 'partner home'; the tado° account should not be provided by a third party, like Apple. Don't worry, the vast majority of Apple/iOS users do not fall into this category.
- One zone controller. Not zero, not more than one.
- A tado° account with some historic heating information. People with a brand new tado° account will also get the feature, but nothing will be visible as there is no historic heating data provided by tado° yet. So they'll need a bit of patience for us to collect heating information in their account.

We cannot make an accurate usage prediction without your input. We can say month X used Y times as much heating energy as month Z, but given the wide variety of different heating systems out there we cannot relate this to a quantity of gas or oil... without your input. Which is why you can enter meter readings into the app.
Let's say you have been using tado° for 1 year. You enter gas meter data from Oct. 1st 2021, June 1st 2021, Feb 12th 2021 and Nov 8th 2020 in the app. These are obviously some random dates I just made up. We can then relate the actual amount of gas you used between two dates to the abstract amount that tado° has heated between these two dates. This calibrates our app, and increases the accuracy of the prediction. The more gas meter data you enter, the more accurate it will become.

@Rob Some suppliers like Octopus (UK) allow customers access their energy APIs, so that customers can integrate and automate their smart home, their way, browse the half-hourly consumption of electricity or gas etc. If tado° implements this feature customers (at least customers with SMETS2 meters) will be able to have 100% accurate data, not just some predictions.

That is a next step. Integration with smart meters. I know they are working on that feature, but given the wide variety of smart meter suppliers across Europe and other hurdles I cannot make any promises about the implementation. But what I posted above, so an estimate calibrated my your own meter readings, is coming soon.

Dear admin, I have put two weekly gas meter readings into the Tado app and am just trying to enter a third, but I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it. I've been through every option I can think of. I have installed a wired thermostat as a zone valve controller since I last did this. Will that have changed anything? Phil

Are you referring to Energy IQ? https://community.tado.com/en-gb/discussion/11331/energy-iq-official-press-release-vs-faq

Im sure you are aware of independent IOS apps like Hugo that show both Gas and Electricity consumption throughout the previous day. This is not reinventing the wheel

@GrayDav4276 ye, mine has been like this for days, and I have been give it daily meter readings this month.

Been using the free Loop app (Loop | The leading FREE smart meter app) to directly pull in gas and electricity readings, tariff and spend data from my home smart meter. Manually entering these in the Tado app is not the way to go. It doesn't give that realtime integration as we all watch our bills like hawks!
