VADUS
Vadus Air mounted on the wall of a plant room, next to the heat pump's indoor unit.

Remote monitoring for heat pumps.

Vadus reads NIBE S-series heat pumps, keeps the history of every measurement and lets settings be changed remotely.

Contact About Vadus Air

Vadus reads the pump on the local network and sends the data to a server.

The state of an installation can be checked without a site visit.

Fleet

The list of systems

For each system: whether it is sending data, whether it has an open fault, and when it last reported.

An installer sees only the systems assigned to them.

Alerts

Email notifications

The server checks every system regularly. When a system stops sending data an email goes out, and when it comes back, a second one. If a problem stays open, a summary follows the next morning.

On days when nothing happens, no email is sent. Emails go to the installer assigned to the system.

The device

30 × 60 × 12 mm

Vadus Air goes anywhere in the house, on the same network as the pump. It has a single cable, and no screen or buttons.

It finds the pump on the local network. Its firmware updates itself.

Network

The connection

No VPN, no ports opened on the router. Vadus Air opens the connection to the server itself, with a token of its own, and picks up commands each time it checks in.

If the internet, the Wi-Fi, Vadus Air or the Vadus server stops working, the pump carries on working normally.

How the data travels The pump and Vadus Air talk on the local network. Vadus Air opens an encrypted connection to Vadus on its own. Nothing comes from the internet into the house.

400days of history

History is kept on the server

Measurements are stored on the server, not on the device. When the device is replaced, the installation's history stays as it was.

If the connection drops, Vadus Air keeps about three days of readings and sends them once it is back. The database is backed up daily.

The history page: daily consumption for heating, hot water and the immersion heater, with the temperature curves below.
Daily consumption and temperatures, on one page.

Settings

Settings that can be changed remotely

The heating curve, supply temperatures, hot water stop, immersion heater power. Today 14 settings can be changed; every other value is read only.

Every command is checked against the setting's limits, sent to the pump, and marked as applied only once the value has been read back from the pump.

The list of settings

A setting's window in Vadus: the current value, the allowed limits, the send button and the history of changes.
The right to change is granted separately for each setting.
