Zerofy Year-End Product Update 2025 ❄️⚡
Zerofy Year-End Product Update 2025 ❄️⚡
A year of rapid shipping: smarter heating, deeper integrations, and a more powerful Autopilot
As the year comes to a close, we wanted to pause for a moment and share what we’ve been building. Since our summer update and the Zerofy 2.0 launch, the team has shipped continuous improvements—week after week—across EV charging, batteries, solar, meters, and now heating systems.
This year-end update brings together the most important additions from the past months and shows how Zerofy is evolving into a truly whole-home energy optimization platform.
Here’s what’s new:
🔥 Heating Goes Smart: Vaillant Integration
Energy optimization doesn’t stop at electricity anymore. Zerofy now supports Vaillant heating systems, bringing heating into the Autopilot ecosystem:
- Seamless integration of Vaillant systems into Zerofy
- Foundation for smarter heat scheduling alongside PV, batteries, and EVs
- An important step toward fully electrified, system-wide home energy control
Heating is becoming an active part of your energy strategy—not a fixed background load.
🔋 Battery Intelligence: Smarter, More Predictable Control
Battery optimization has seen major progress over the second half of the year:
- Advanced battery charge planning in Autopilot for better cost and solar utilization
- Battery-first logic: optionally charge the home battery to a defined level before triggering other devices
- FoxESS battery control (Beta), extending smart battery steering to more households
- More accurate planning thanks to improved vendor-reported battery capacity and charge rates
The result: batteries charge when it actually makes sense—aligned with prices, solar forecasts, and household priorities.
🚗 EV Charging: More Control, Better Visibility
EV charging has continued to mature with a strong focus on reliability and clarity:
- Multi-EV and multi-charger visibility directly on the Now screen
- More consistent real-time charging power across EVs and chargers
- Improved manual charging flows and quick actions
- Expanded OCPP support with better consumption history
- Enhanced integrations for Easee, Zaptec, and Smartcar-connected vehicles
Whether you have one EV or several, Zerofy keeps charging predictable and optimized.
☀️ Solar, Meters & Energy Flow: Clearer Than Ever
We’ve made energy flows easier to understand—especially for homes with batteries and complex setups:
- Clear display of grid import and grid export across energy views
- Improved visualization of power flows and historical data
- Support for SMA Sunny Home Manager and additional meter types
- IOMeter grid export support
- More consistent and accurate energy charts throughout the app
You get a complete, trustworthy picture of how energy moves through your home.
🧠 Autopilot: More Transparent, More Powerful
Autopilot has grown significantly—not just in intelligence, but also in explainability:
- Unified Autopilot history across all devices in one view
- Clear plan overviews combining prices, solar forecasts, and schedules
- Smarter optimization logic for batteries and flexible loads
- Improved weather and solar forecast widgets directly on the Now screen
Automation you can trust—and clearly see working.
📱 App Experience: Faster, Cleaner, More Flexible
Alongside all the new capabilities, we’ve kept polishing the everyday experience:
- Faster app start and a simpler onboarding flow
- Customizable Now screen with sortable and hideable cards
- Data freshness indicators so you always know how recent your data is
- Push notifications for support chats
- Redeem App Store codes directly inside the app
Small improvements that add up to a smoother daily experience.
✅ Wrapping Up the Year
With the latest Zerofy version, you can now:
- Integrate Vaillant heating systems
- Optimize batteries with smarter, more predictable Autopilot logic
- Control and monitor multiple EVs and chargers in one place
- Get clearer insights into grid import/export and energy flows
- Enjoy faster performance and a more refined app experience
As we head into the new year, our focus remains the same:
helping households automate energy use, cut emissions, and save money—across electricity, mobility, and heating.
Thank you for building and testing Zerofy with us this year.
More to come in 2026 🚀
