MINIMIZE YOUR OPERATING COSTS

The iDM heat pump pioneers have already perfected efficient heat supply with the existing features of the iNTELLiGENT heat pump. With iON technology, an AI-based comprehensive energy optimization, we take it a step further: based on weather forecasts, variable electricity prices, and historical load profiles, we control your heat pump to achieve the best possible efficiency, optimally utilize photovoltaic yields, and comprehensively minimize your energy costs.

iNTELLiGENT CONNECTIVITY OF ALL COMPONENTS

Through iON and the intelligent, proactive integration with photovoltaic systems, battery storage, and the building mass, it is possible to optimize the areas of heat and electricity even more comprehensively. This leads to sector coupling that elevates 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—the electricity prices on the day-ahead market decrease. These favorable conditions are passed on to end consumers through hourly variable electricity rates. However, iON goes a step further and proactively considers the efficiency*) of your heat pump as well as the expected yield from your photovoltaic system. By creating an energy cost-optimized heat pump schedule, 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.

USER BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS AND USING THE BUILDING AS ENERGY STORAGE

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 (e.g. heating and cooling behaviour). As a result, iON always determines the optimum time for heating, cooling and hot water preparation.

STANDARD INTEGRATED HARDWARE

Many energy management systems require the purchase and installation of additional hardware. With iON, on the other hand, this is not needed. All the necessary components are already built into the intelligent heat pump from iDM. Simply install the iON software to get started!*.

*) iON is currently not available for all iDM heat pumps.

REDUCES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT

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

CONTRIBUTE TO THE STABILITY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID

By avoiding price peaks, iON also helps to reduce load peaks. This means that your heat pump is being operated in a gridfriendly manner and contributes to the stability of the electricity grid.

EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE

iON minimizes your heating costs automatically. Nevertheless, you can use the myiDM app to ensure that your intelligent heat pump is working properly at any time – even when you are on holiday.

YOUR WAY TO iON


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. 

*) iON is a paid add-on. However, you can start a free trial for a limited time and register directly.

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!

iON can be tested for free until the end of April. Starting May 1, 2025, iON will cost €4.99, including VAT.
