Vaillant products such as air heat pumps that have an EEBUS interface are now Loxone compatible! As a result, they can now be seamlessly integrated into Loxone installations. This combination not only enables highly efficient energy management for all conceivable applications, but also ensures cost savings. We spoke to Aaron Biesenberger, regional sales manager for Vaillant Austria, and talked about the advantages of this cooperation.
The interview with Aaron Biesenberger - Vaillant: experts in building services
For 150 years now, as a system manufacturer, Vaillant has been offering a complete package for building technology, starting from the production site in Remscheid, near Düsseldorf: From power generation through photovoltaics to heating, cooling and ventilation devices, Vaillant covers the entire field of building technology.
Loxone + Vaillant: win-win situation for customers
Our cooperation with Vaillant opens up new possibilities with regard to one of the most important issues in every building - energy efficiency. The aim is to improve the climate in the household as well as in the environment. The most important factor for this is the merging of all trades in the building. Because only if all elements of the building services can communicate with each other can they work with maximum energy efficiency. An example:
The shading integrated in Loxone is responsible for cooling in the building, among other things. Through intelligent automatic shading can sunlight - and thus heat - kept out of the house and offer protection against overheating. The Loxone HVAC Controller always uses the cheapest cooling source first. If the temperature is high over the long term and the shading alone is no longer sufficient, the miniserver activates the Vaillant heat pump and begins to cool.
Thanks to this perfect interaction, the ideal desired temperature can be maintained in the building at any time of the day or night, and that with maximum energy efficiency. The advantages for end customers are clear: lower energy costs thanks to smart energy management and greater comfort thanks to constant temperatures - and all this completely automatically.
The technical implementation
From Loxone Config version 12.0 , Vaillant devices can be quickly and easily integrated into the intelligent automation system via EEBus . This requires z. B. a Vaillant heat pump, a Vaillant communication module with EEBus (e.g. sensoNET VR921 ) and a controller. The interface is then simply activated in the respective apps, and all consumers and producers can communicate with one another. In this way, data such as the temperature for the heating, for the hot water and also the outside temperature are accessible to the Loxone Miniserver and can be further processed for energy-optimized control.
The future of intelligent energy and resource management
We all keep talking about sustainability and resource conservation, and how we should deal with them. With a sustainable and environmentally conscious heating solution, such as a heat pump, and the sensible use of electricity - through energy management in the form of intelligent building automation such as that from Loxone - precisely these fields are served. This is precisely why I am firmly convinced that this must be the direction and that such solutions must become the standard in the future. In this way, the customer also benefits from low energy costs, a high level of convenience and all of this under the highest data security requirements - which Vaillant and Loxone take care of.
