SAJ + PHNIX

What Zerofy can do with SAJ and PHNIX

In practice

• Autopilot isn’t available for PHNIX yet, so Zerofy won’t run your PHNIX heat pump on solar surplus automatically. You can see SAJ production and PHNIX in one app and adjust the room temperature and flow temperature from there.
• Because Zerofy does not run PHNIX units on surplus automatically, put the heating or pool-heating window into the middle of the day with a schedule; pool heat pumps run mainly in summer, when midday PV output is highest.

What SAJ and PHNIX offer on their own

SAJ: The SAJ eManager has two dry-contact (DO) outputs for a heat pump, switched by tasks you set up in the app. SAJ says Elekeeper supports heat pumps and water heaters but doesn’t list compatible models.

PHNIX: PHNIX’s “PV Ready” function lets the heat pump adjust its compressor frequency to the available solar power, controlled by a home energy manager or, if there is none, by PHNIX’s own Smart Meter. A “Spot Time” mode works with grid prices (target temperature, maximum frequency, six daily timers), and the Heco series also has an SG Ready interface.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads SAJ production and controls your PHNIX heat pump to match, together with your other devices in one app.

Setting up SAJ and PHNIX in Zerofy

1. Connect SAJ

Zerofy reads your plant from the SAJ cloud: you add Zerofy as a developer in the Elekeeper app and then enter your Plant ID in Zerofy.

1. In the Elekeeper app, tap ••• and open Plant Management.
2. Under Developer/Partner, paste the Developer ID shown in Zerofy and confirm access.
3. Copy your Plant ID from Plant Management and paste it into Zerofy.

Good to know: How fresh the data is depends on how often the SAJ cloud updates. For the battery, Zerofy supports forced charging but not switching the battery mode.

2. Connect PHNIX

Zerofy connects to the PHNIX cloud with your PHNIX app login and shows the heat pump’s live status; you can set the room temperature and the water circulation temperature from Zerofy.

1. Connect the heat pump to the internet and register it in the PHNIX app.
2. In Zerofy, add PHNIX and log in with your PHNIX account credentials.

Good to know: Zerofy’s Autopilot does not yet run PHNIX heat pumps on solar surplus or dynamic prices; control from Zerofy is manual or by schedule.
