Use Case: Hot water overcharge
One of the standout applications of our Energy Management API Services is its ability to manage variable load consumption during grid load peaks or dips. For example, during periods of excessive power in the grid, such as when a connected photovoltaic system generates more power than the household needs, the API can automatically initiate domestic hot water overcharging. This not only helps stabilise the energy grid but also ensures that the excess power is efficiently utilised, providing additional benefits to the customer.
Strategic Integration for a Seamless Experience
Our new service aligns with Vaillant's "works with" promise, making it easy for third parties to integrate our heat pumps into their energy management solutions. This means that customers can effortlessly combine Vaillant appliances with any photovoltaic systems, electric vehicle chargers, and more, thanks to our API and EEBus compatibility.

Join us in shaping the future of smart energy management.
At Vaillant, we’re thrilled to unveil our new Energy Management API Services, designed to transform how developers and businesses integrate and optimise Vaillant heat pumps. This innovative service empowers you to monitor, control, and enhance the efficiency of our heat pumps, ensuring both energy savings and customer comfort.
Unlocking the Power of Data
Our Energy Management API Services provide comprehensive insights into the performance metrics of heat pumps and other critical components of the heating system. This data allows you to make informed decisions and take precise actions to optimise energy consumption. We have simplified your ability to adjust and control settings independent of your customer’s presets. Ad hoc water storage overcharging is now possible in a single API call. In the past, achieving optimal photovoltaic energy self-consumption by domestic hot water overcharging was complex and required multiple steps. Now, with our streamlined Energy Management API service, you can raise the domestic hot water setpoint, adjust the hysteresis threshold, trigger the hot water boost and reset all parameters afterwards with just one call. This makes API service integration leaner and easier for you to track.
Future-Proofing with Continuous Enhancements
We’re committed to continuous improvement. Over the next quarters, we will enhance our API with additional features, including:
Ensuring energy management actions respect customer comfort boundaries.
Providing transparency to customers about the actions taken by API partners.
Enhancing system resilience against unintended disruptions.
Allowing customers to override or terminate any API-triggered actions at any time.
