Your house, in money. Ventaurio opens with one figure — what today cost or saved, in your currency, on your tariff — and only then the kilowatt-hours behind it. It talks to the equipment directly on your own network. No vendor cloud has to be up, and at home it keeps working when the internet does not. SOLAR AND BATTERY • Deye hybrid inverters through their Solarman logger, read live • The day as one line: solid where metered, dotted where the house is expected to go • Flat, day/night or zoned tariffs (Poland's G13 with its real line items) and hourly spot prices — Finland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, or any EU zone with a free ENTSO-E token • A weather guard that works out tomorrow and says what it would do with the battery A SMART HOME THAT IS YOURS • Grenton: one import from Object Manager, then the app talks to every CLU itself — rooms, lights, dimmers, sockets, blinds, scenes • An alarm that can run on the CLU itself, armed and disarmed with Face ID • Shelly relays, plugs, lights and RGBW, and gates on a dry contact • House modes — away, night, guests — in one tap HEAT AND AIR • Panasonic Aquarea over a HeishaMon bridge: flow, tank, and the best hour to heat the water • Eight brands of heat-recovery ventilation, recovered heat priced in money. Vallox and Vents/Blauberg are verified on real units; the rest are marked beta until an owner confirms them Free sees the whole house and switches it by hand: • Energy flow, today in money, the forecast, the inverter's programs • Grenton on/off, blinds up/down, CLU scenes; alarm sensors, disarm, a test run • One ventilation unit with full control and its week programme • Two Shelly devices, widgets, Siri, an ambient wall-tablet mode Ventaurio Pro runs it by itself: • The weather guard writing to the inverter, and a surplus manager that spends a sunny hour on the loads you chose • Dimming, blind position and slats, blinds that follow the sun, a scene builder • Arming the alarm, with a push to every phone in the household and the watch • One house on every phone: a command from away travels through a shared mailbox to the device at home • Automations, geofencing, more units, air sensors and power meters • Five years of savings, a monthly report, backup, the Apple Watch app Honest on a bad day: a loss reads as a loss, and a forecast that cannot be made is not drawn. Not affiliated with Deye, Solarman, Panasonic, Grenton, Shelly or any ventilation manufacturer. Brand names identify device compatibility.
