MINIMIZE YOUR OPERATING COSTS

The intelligent iDM heat pump guarantees the optimum operating point at all times thanks to the innovative iDM control technology (Navigator 2.0). With iON, we go one step further: based on weather forecasts, variable electricity prices and the historical load profile, we control your heat pump so that it achieves the best possible efficiency, makes ideal use of photovoltaic yields and minimizes your overall energy costs.

iNTELLiGENT NETWORKING OF ALL COMPONENTS

The iDM heat pump pioneers have already perfected the efficient provision of heat with the intelligent heat pump. By intelligently linking it with photovoltaic systems, battery storage and the building mass, it is possible to comprehensively optimize the areas of heat and electricity. This leads to sector coupling that raises efficiency and sustainability to a new level.

Your intelligent heat pump is compatible with many common inverters and energy management systems.

INTEGRATION OF EXTERNAL DATA

When there is a high supply of renewable energy – such as wind and solar – electricity prices on the day-ahead market fall. These favorable conditions are passed on to end consumers through variable hourly electricity tariffs. iON goes one step further, however, and takes into account the efficiency*) of your heat pump as well as the expected yield of your photovoltaic system. In this way, iON maximizes your energy efficiency and minimizes costs.

*) The efficiency of air source heat pumps is heavily dependent on the outside temperature. Switching based purely on electricity prices may increase costs.

CONSIDERATION OF USER BEHAVIOR AND USE OF THE BUILDING AS AN ENERGY STORE

By intelligently linking the heat and power supply, iON also takes into account the historical usage behavior of the residents (such as hot water consumption) and the thermal behavior of the building (for example, heating and cooling behavior). In this way, iON always determines the optimum time for heating, cooling and hot water preparation.

iON – UP TO 20% COST SAVINGS WITH MAXIMUM COMFORT.

OVERALL OPTIMIZATION OF ALL RELEVANT INFLUENCING FACTORS

EVERYTHING ON BOARD AS STANDARD

Many energy management systems require the purchase and installation of additional hardware. iON, on the other hand, makes this effort unnecessary. All the necessary components are already built into the intelligent heat pump from iDM. It is only necessary to install the software to put iON into operation*.

*) iON is currently not available on all heat pumps.

REDUCTION OF THE CO₂ FOOTPRINT

If a high volume of renewable energy from wind, sun and water is available, you not only benefit from particularly low electricity prices, but also from significantly lower CO₂ emissions. So you save twice: on electricity costs and on CO₂ emissions!

YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO GRID STABILITY

By avoiding price peaks, iON also helps to reduce load peaks. As a result, your heat pump is already being operated in a grid-friendly manner and contributes to the stability of the electricity grid.

EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE

iOn minimizes your heating costs fully automatically. Nevertheless, you can use the myiDM app to check that your smart heat pump is working properly at any time – even when you are on vacation.

YOUR WAY TO iON


Heat pump owners from Austria and Germany: Available from the end of October 2024

To fully utilize iONs capabilities, smartENERGY has developed a dynamic electricity tariff exclusively for iDM heat pump owners in Austria. In Germany, owners can use iON with the hourly variable electricity tariff from stromee. Leave your contact details, and we will inform you as soon as the product is available to order.


Heat pump owners from other countries:

iON will be available in more countries in 2025. Please leave your contact information, and we will reach out to you as soon as iON is available in your location. 

With our iDM control technology (Navigator 2.0), we already ensure the optimal operating point at all times. With iON, we take it a step further: based on weather forecasts, variable electricity prices, and the historical load profile, we control your heat pump to achieve the best possible efficiency, maximize photovoltaic yields, and minimize your overall energy costs. 

iON optimally utilizes the daily efficiency of heat pumps, PV yield, and your hourly variable electricity tariff, starting the heat pump when it is particularly cost-effective. This results in cost savings of up to 20% while maintaining the same level of comfort. 

Currently, not all iDM heat pump systems are compatible with iON. The availability is clarified during the ordering process of your dynamic electricity tariff (smartENERGY or stromee).

Currently iON can be used in Austria with the hourly variable electricity tariff smartHEAT from smartENERGY and in Germany with the hourly variable electricity tariff from stromee. 

Variable electricity tariffs adjust to current market electricity prices, meaning your electricity prices can fluctuate depending on supply and demand. When there is a high supply of renewable energy – such as wind and solar – electricity prices drop on the Day-Ahead Market. These favorable conditions are passed on to consumers through hourly variable electricity tariffs. 

The PV surplus can be fed in both through a feed-in tariff from smartENERGY and also with other providers.

When there is a high availability of renewable energy from wind, sun, and water, electricity prices dropiON takes advantage of this reduced price, which significantly lowers CO2 emissions. Additionally, your self-produced PV electricity is better utilized. This way, you save twice: on electricity costs and CO2 emissions!
