SL Energy + PHNIX

What Zerofy can do with SL Energy 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 SL Energy 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 SL Energy and PHNIX offer on their own

SL Energy: SL Energy sells its own heat pumps (SL-HP9KL and SL-HP12/18KR, 12.6 to 23.8 kW, R32) in the iShare-Home package, and its SmartBox gathers data from inverter, meter, wallbox and heat pump. Whether the heat pump runs on solar surplus isn’t documented publicly.

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 SL Energy production and controls your PHNIX heat pump to match, together with your other devices in one app.

Setting up SL Energy and PHNIX in Zerofy

1. Connect SL Energy

Zerofy connects to the SL Energy cloud: you log in with your SL Energy monitoring account (the one you use in the Smart M app).

1. Make sure your inverter is online and registered on the SL Energy monitoring platform.
2. In Zerofy, choose SL Energy and log in with your SL Energy account to grant access.

Good to know: 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.
