Please help me understanding Local API

Dear all, I started recently with my Homey Pro, and made a successful connection with my Tado X thermostat. I made the coupling via Add Matter device and all devices show up reliable in my Homey Pro. I have installed now the Std. Tado app, and I’m considering adding the TadoZones app.
What my understanding is: (can someone confirm or correct what I learned so far)

  • My Homey Pro interacts with the Tado devices via local commands (over matter / thread)
  • Tado is planning to reduce the amount of API requests from 20k to 100 per day
  • That has no impact for me, since I have a local connection (local API?)
  • When adding TadoZones, I enter my Tado credentials and Homey will access the Tado cloud for status and settings (non-local API is used?)
  • TadoZones might eventually suffer from the limitation of 100 requests per day. (as I don’t have and plan to take a Tado subscription )

right? Thanks for reading and appreciate your reply.
