The problem with Tado is that it doesn't do AC, only heat.

I am not so sure about Nest being able to do that with a firmware =
upgrade.

I haven't looked inside of one, but someone told me that they were using =
Wiznet chips.

If they are, then that's IPv4 baked into the hardware of the chip and it =
won't do IPv6. This has been a huge problem with trying to do anything =
IPv6-oriented in the Arduino and other Microcontroller world. The =
Raspberry PI and the UDOO are the first semi-promising solutions that I =
am aware of in this arean, though the Cubie board and Beagle bone have =
some capabilities here as well... They're just a bit on the pricey side.
