Danfoss smart home overview

DenmarkChecked 11 November 2026

Danfoss is a Danish engineering group headquartered in Nordborg, and its heating division sells smart radiator thermostats and floor heating controls. The range is split into separate systems: Danfoss Ally, Icon and Icon2, the older Danfoss Link, and the Bluetooth-only Danfoss Eco, each with its own app.

Where Danfoss fits in a smart home

Danfoss Ally, the current system, uses Zigbee 3.0 radiator thermostats and room sensors that talk to an Ally Gateway. The gateway connects to the internet by Ethernet cable only and links the system to Danfoss's cloud, where the Ally app and voice assistants reach it. Icon2 floor heating joins the same app, Danfoss Link is an older central controller that Danfoss now steers new buyers away from, and Eco is a stand-alone Bluetooth thermostat with no gateway.

That suits heating that you control from a phone and with Alexa or Google Assistant, and Zigbee users can also pair the thermostats to a non-Danfoss Zigbee setup. It is less simple if you want Apple Home, SmartThings, IFTTT or Matter: Danfoss states that Ally and Link do not support the first three, and we found no Matter support.

Apps

Danfoss Ally

The current app for Ally systems and Icon2 floor heating. Controls schedules and temperatures and monitors heating from anywhere, with Alexa and Google Assistant voice control. The App Store listing says it works with the Ally Gateway, Ally thermostats and room sensor, and Icon2, and requires iOS 12.2 or later. Published by Danfoss A/S. The Android link uses the package name shown on a Similarweb analytics page, and we could not load the Google Play page itself.

iPhone Android

Danfoss Eco

The app for the Bluetooth-only Eco thermostat. Danfoss's support page says range is about 10 metres, one thermostat is controlled at a time, scheduling needs the app and firmware updates arrive over Bluetooth. The App Store listing says it is compatible with the 2nd generation Eco and requires iOS 11 or later. Danfoss says an Android version exists, but we found no store link for it.

iPhone Danfoss Eco support

Danfoss Link

The app for Danfoss Link CC panels with Wi-Fi. It adjusts heating from away from home and sets room or zone temperatures. The App Store listing says it requires iOS 11 or later and the latest version dates from October 2023. Published by Danfoss A/S. The Android link uses the package name shown on a BlueStacks page, and we could not load the Google Play page itself.

iPhone Android

Icon2 app

A commissioning app that installers use to set up Icon2 systems. Danfoss's Icon2 page describes it as an app for installation and says it can check whether a main controller is affected by a recall. We found no store link, and day-to-day control goes through the Danfoss Ally app.

PlatformStatusWhat it meansSources
Connection
ZigbeeYesAlly and Icon2 devices are Zigbee 3.0 certified, and Danfoss says the Ally devices can work with third-party Zigbee systems. A Zigbee repeater can extend range from the gateway to the thermostats. Zigbee2MQTT documents how to pair the Ally radiator thermostat without Danfoss's gateway. The Icon2 page also lists a Zigbee cluster specification and firmware for Zigbee integration partners.Danfoss Ally support Danfoss Icon2 support Zigbee2MQTT: 014G2461
Wi-Fi and EthernetYesThe Ally Gateway connects to the internet only by Ethernet cable and does not support Wi-Fi, though the phone and gateway must be on the same Wi-Fi network during pairing. Danfoss Link CC panels with Wi-Fi support the 2.4 GHz band only, and Danfoss's Link page does not mention Ethernet.Danfoss Ally support Danfoss Link support
BluetoothYesThe Danfoss Eco thermostat connects to its app over Bluetooth, with a stated range of about 10 metres, and receives firmware updates the same way. It is a stand-alone system. We found no Bluetooth function on the Ally pages we read.Danfoss Eco support Danfoss Eco (App Store)
Danfoss Link radioNot mentionedDanfoss describes communication between the Link controller and its thermostats as radio-based, with repeaters to extend range. The pages we read do not name the radio technology.Danfoss Link support

The Link page says Google Assistant is not supported for Link.Danfoss Ally support Danfoss Link support Google Home compatible devices
Amazon AlexaOfficialDocumented for Ally, with binding instructions and sample commands, and listed in the Danfoss Ally app listing. For Link, Danfoss's page says Alexa is the only supported assistant, in five languages and with availability varying by market. It reads and sets room temperatures but cannot change thermostat modes.Danfoss Ally support Danfoss Ally (App Store) Danfoss Link support Alexa Skills store

Open platforms and developer access
Home AssistantCommunityWe did not confirm a built-in Danfoss integration, since Home Assistant's own integrations page was not opened. A community custom component, Danfoss Ally by MTrab, installs through HACS and covers Ally radiator thermostats and Icon devices through the Ally Gateway. It needs a consumer key and secret from Danfoss's developer portal, and its notes say cloud sync is not real time. The repository does not show any Danfoss endorsement. Zigbee2MQTT is a local alternative for the radiator thermostat, and a Home Assistant forum thread reports partial results pairing an Icon2 Main Controller over ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT.Danfoss Ally for Home Assistant (HACS) Zigbee2MQTT: 014G2461 HA forum: Icon2 Main Controller
HomeyCommunityTwo community apps for Homey Pro, neither by Athom or Danfoss. Danfoss Ally by a community developer is a port of the Home Assistant component, uses the Danfoss cloud API with a free developer account, still needs the Ally Gateway, and was live in the Homey App Store from 5 January 2026 according to its author. A separate Danfoss Icon app pairs the Icon2 controller through the Danfoss Zigbee module, and users report some bugs. Neither thread mentions Homey Cloud or a Homey Bridge, so we could not confirm either point.Homey forum: Danfoss Ally Homey forum: Danfoss Icon

Danfoss Ally APIOfficialDanfoss says the Ally Cloud API lets partners and developers build on Ally products, and that other systems can read data through an open API, with details on its developer portal. The portal lets public users create a login, register an app and get a key and secret, then request OAuth 2.0 access tokens. Danfoss states it does not support private API solutions. The API is cloud-based, and the portal page names Ally only in a sample request path.Danfoss Ally support Danfoss developer portal
