The Homely Smart Controller (Hub + Node) is an all‑in‑one, heat‑pump‑specific smart control kit that combines easy commissioning, powerful optimisation and professional remote monitoring. It helps cut running costs, simplify weather compensation setup and reduce installer call‑backs, while delivering effortless comfort for the homeowner. What’s Included Homely Hub – the main smart controller that connects to the internet, the Homely cloud platform and the Homely app. Homely Node – the on‑system interface with the heat pump (and sensors), providing real‑time data to the hub. 2 years of Connect Pro – installer‑grade remote monitoring, diagnostics and parameter‑change access included as standard on new installs. Key Benefits for Installers Simple setup – automatic weather compensation curves mean no manual curve calculation and fewer commissioning visits. Boosted sales – independent Energy House Labs testing shows Homely can reduce heat pump bills by up to around 31%, making payback and running‑cost conversations easier. Remote diagnostics – view live and historic data, adjust parameters over the air and solve many issues without a site visit using Connect/Connect Pro. Fewer call‑backs – smarter control and remote support reduce post‑installation tweaking and customer complaints. ECO4 uplift – approved as ECO4 Innovation Measure “034”, increasing the controls’ Partial Project Score uplift by 25% without affecting SAP scores when recorded correctly. Key Benefits for Homeowners Lower running costs – Homely optimises flow temperatures, schedules and (with compatible tariffs/features) time‑of‑use operation to cut bills versus basic controls. Effortless comfort – smart algorithms learn the property, outdoor conditions and usage patterns to keep rooms comfortable without constant user intervention. Time‑of‑use & green energy ready – Homely can align heat pump operation with cheaper or greener electricity periods on compatible tariffs and feature sets. App control – a simple, set‑and‑forget app allows schedule tweaks and mode changes while leaving optimisation to Homely in the background. Connect / Connect Pro Features Single installer dashboard – see all Homely installations in one place and quickly spot systems needing attention. Live and historic data – review temperatures, set‑points, operating status and key heat pump parameters for smart diagnostics. Remote parameter changes – adjust key settings from the office instead of attending site, improving response times and reducing costs. Installer‑only control – Connect Pro access is reserved for registered installers so end‑users enjoy a supported, stable configuration. Compatibility & Use Cases Heat pump focus – designed specifically for heat pumps and compatible with hundreds of models from major brands. Generic kit – this Hub + Node kit is used for all Homely‑supported heat pumps that do not require a Modbus adaptor (e.g. Riello, Bosch and others). Samsung note – Samsung units require the dedicated Homely Hub and Node Kit for Samsung with a Modbus interface, not this generic kit. Ideal for retrofits and new installs – can be added to existing systems or built into new projects to maximise performance and user experience. Installer Workflow Register as a Homely installer to access training materials, support and the Connect/Connect Pro platform. Install the Hub and Node according to Homely’s wiring and commissioning guides, then complete setup via the Homely Installer App. Monitor and maintain systems remotely, using insights and alerts to keep performance optimised and minimise on‑site visits.
