Vaillant is a German heating company that makes gas boilers, heat pumps, hybrid systems and the controls that run them. Connected systems are managed from the myVAILLANT app through an internet gateway, with older controls such as sensoCOMFORT and VRC 700 and the vSMART thermostat using related apps.
Vaillant heating connects through its own cloud. A gateway such as the myVAILLANT connect module (VR 940f) joins the boiler or heat pump controller to home Wi-Fi, and the app talks to Vaillant's servers. Voice control is described on Vaillant's pages for Alexa and Apple HomeKit, and for vSMART also Google Home. We found no Matter support.
That suits remote control and scheduling of heating and hot water, plus basic voice control. It is weaker for local, cloud-free automation: the Home Assistant and Homey integrations we found go through Vaillant's cloud, which has quotas, and the local route needs an eBUS adapter and community software. Older app generations (VRC 700 app, sensoAPP) are being retired, so the right app depends on the gateway and controller installed.

The current app for connected Vaillant heating. The App Store listing describes a home screen with energy data and push notifications, time programmes and away mode, a direct link to the installer and remote diagnostics. It works with installations that have a gateway, and the latest listed version adds a request-your-data function under the EU Data Act. iPhone requires iOS 15.1 or later. Published by Vaillant GmbH. The Android link uses the package name shown by a third-party app tracker, and we could not load the Google Play page to confirm it.
The older app for systems with the VR 900/920 internet module and a VRC 700 control. The App Store listing says it covers eBUS heat generators from 2007 onward. The latest listed version is described only as Service shutdown, and the listing does not mention myVAILLANT. Vaillant UK says VRC 700 app users can be invited to migrate to myVAILLANT.
The older app for the sensoNET (VR 921) module with a sensoCOMFORT (VR 720 or VRT 380) control. The listing names sensoHOME as compatible and mentions ambiSENSE radiator valves. Its latest listed version is also described only as Service shutdown, with no details. Vaillant UK says sensoAPP users are being migrated to myVAILLANT.
The app for the vSMART wireless room thermostat. Vaillant's installer page says it is available for Android and iOS, supports several users per control and is set up over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. We could not find a store listing, and the same page links to a product marked discontinued.
An installer-facing app listed on the App Store alongside the consumer app. We saw only the listing title in search results and did not open it, so its features are unconfirmed.

The myVAILLANT connect module (VR 940f) is described as wireless Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz on channels 1 to 13, and needs a 2.4 GHz network. The page does not mention a LAN port. Vaillant UK's gateway page does not say how the gateway connects to the network, so other gateway versions are unconfirmed.
The vSMART thermostat uses Bluetooth only during setup: the installer holds the Bluetooth button on the communication unit for five seconds and continues in the app. No other Bluetooth use is described on the pages we read.
vSMART talks to its communication unit on 868 MHz, with about 100 m range in the open and 25 m inside a building, and the unit talks to the boiler over eBUS, which lets the boiler modulate. The VR 940f page also lists a wireless link at 868.0 to 869.65 MHz without saying what it is for.
Vaillant's myVAILLANT page describes EEBUS as the standard for linking heat pump, controller and solar system, supported through its system controllers and the myVAILLANT connect module. It is an energy-management link, not a general smart home protocol.
Vaillant UK names Amazon Alexa for myVAILLANT, and the VR 940f page lists Alexa with an unexplained asterisk. vSMART is also described as working with Alexa. We found no Vaillant setup guide for the Alexa link, so the supported systems and commands are unconfirmed.
Vaillant UK names Apple HomeKit and says it lets simple single-zone systems be added to a smart home. The VR 940f page also lists HomeKit. The scope for multi-zone systems is not stated.
The vSMART page says it works with Google Home. For myVAILLANT, a July 2023 trade article about the ecoTEC plus said Google Home was coming soon, and the Vaillant UK pages we read do not name Google. We could not confirm current myVAILLANT support.
We found no built-in integration. The myVAILLANT custom component (signalkraft) is installed through HACS, uses the cloud API behind the app and says it is not affiliated with Vaillant. Its README warns of frequent API incidents and strict quotas, and says polling every 10 seconds leads to quota errors and a temporary ban. A separate community integration by Mark Bovee talks to a local ebusd over an eBUS adapter and needs no Vaillant cloud, but it is for heat pumps and was tested on one setup.
A community app, myVaillant by Pallieter Verhoeven, is listed for Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. It controls heating zones and domestic hot water through the cloud. Both of its device types are marked Homey Bridge required, the page also warns it may not be compatible with the selected Homey, and it does not say whether Vaillant is involved.
An eBUS binding by csowada is distributed through openHAB's add-on marketplace rather than as part of openHAB itself. Forum users run it with Vaillant systems such as aroTHERM plus and VRC 700 or 720 controllers. It needs an eBUS interface and connects by serial, TCP or ebusd.

Vaillant developer API
Not found
We found no official public API or developer program. Community projects use the API behind the myVAILLANT app, for example the myPyllant Python library, and the integration's README warns about quotas. A local alternative is an eBUS adapter with ebusd.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
