Alva Link is €99 at pre-order (€249 retail) vs. €599 for 1KOMMA5° Heartbeat and €249.99 for tado° Heat Pump Optimizer X. The price difference comes from focus: Alva Link is a compact, purpose-built optimisation hub — not a general smart home controller, not a luxury thermostat, and not bundled with a full-service installation package.
We also don't build proprietary hardware ecosystems. Alva Link connects to the equipment you already own via open protocols. We don't need you to buy our inverter, our battery, or our charger. We just need to talk to yours.
