Do I really need Alva Link?

It depends on your system. Alva Link gives you full control of your heat pump and learns how the temperature in your home behaves, so it can keep you comfortable. It also connects to your EV, solar panels and home battery. When it is sunny you can use more of your own solar power, and with a battery it can run the battery and the heat pump together to get more out of both.

Early Bird is the price we offer now, before Alva Link is in stores. It is the biggest discount we will ever have on Alva Link, and it is for early backers who join before launch. Early Birds also get six months of Autopilot, and we will look after Early Birds for the lifetime of their Alva Link devices.

Does it work with Home Assistant or Homey?

Yes. Alva Link is your device, and you can configure it the way you want. We will have an open API on your local network, so you can use it without our cloud or connect it to the Home Assistant setup you already have.

Can I install it myself?

In most cases, yes. We designed Alva Link so you can install it yourself, and it is quick to do. It depends on the system you connect it to, and on whether local regulations require a certified installer for that equipment.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Essentials is free forever, so you can use Alva Link without a subscription. If you want Autopilot, which adds optimization and cloud features, you pay a monthly subscription fee. Essentials covers a lot on its own.

What happens if I lose internet?

You get a notification in the app that Alva Link is offline. Alva Link keeps working within the settings you have made, so schedules and preset optimization still run. Dynamic optimization will likely pause, because it depends on outside data that needs an internet connection.

Can Alva Link override the safety settings?

No. We do not intend to override any safety features, and in most cases it is not possible. The safety settings in your heat pump or other equipment stay as they are. They are the outer limits Alva Link works within, and it optimizes everything else inside those limits.

What comes in the box?

The box contains the Alva Link, two interface cables (one 8-pin and one 4-pin), a temperature and humidity sensor, an Alva Link power supply with a 2 meter cable, an instruction leaflet and a safety leaflet.

What happens after Early Bird?

At some point you get a link to pay the deposit. When that happens depends on where you live and on the brands and models of your equipment. After that, you are on the priority list for Alva Link. When we have confirmed shipping dates, you pay the rest and get a confirmed shipping date for your order.

First allocation open

Connect your heat pump, solar, battery and EV charger so they can work together. Alva Link uses electricity prices and your own solar production to help coordinate your home’s energy use.

For example, a compatible heat pump can shift heating to cheaper hours while your solar and battery supply more of the energy your home needs. What Alva can control depends on your models and connections.

Will Alva Link work with my setup?

Compatibility depends on the exact model and connection, not just the brand. Tell us which heat pump, inverter, battery or EV charger you have. We can help you check what is supported and what is still planned before you order.

How many Alva Links do I need?

The number depends on your setup and how your devices connect. A shared inverter or a connection through Autopilot can change the number of Links needed. You do not need to choose a quantity to join the waitlist.

What does installation involve?

The connection and installation steps depend on your equipment. Check your exact models with us before ordering so you know which connections and installation guidance apply.

What happens after I sign up?

We will email you with Early Bird information and product updates. Signing up is free. No card or deposit is needed, and it does not reserve a physical unit or create an order. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Delivery and ordering

Joining the waitlist does not start an order or a payment. Delivery details, availability and the terms of any reservation are provided separately before you decide to order.

Let's get your setup exactly right

Three quick questions. Your answers can even bring your Alva Link count down.

How should your EV charger connect?

Locally

Via Cloud

Local keeps charging on schedule even if your internet drops. Adds one Alva Link.

Do your solar and battery share one inverter?

Yes, they share one. We count them as a single connection point instead of two. Saves 1 Link.

Is your hot water heated by your heat pump?

Yes. Your boiler runs through the heat pump, so it needs no Link of its own. Saves 1 Link.

How should Alva Link work for you?

Every reservation includes 6 months of Autopilot on us. No card, no commitment.

Essential

Included

Manual control

Set your own schedules, monitor usage live, and let fuse protection balance the load so nothing trips.

Free, forever

Autopilot

Optimizes automatically

Automatic savings across all your devices, including your EV and cloud gear, with no day-to-day input from you.

First 6 months on us, then €4.99/mo

We will remind you before it starts. Cancel anytime.

Why does Autopilot have a subscription? +

Autopilot runs on things that cost us every day: live electricity-price and weather data, direct connections to your car and devices, and the cloud computing that turns all of it into savings.
