Everything at a glance

More than temperatures.

The integration turns Modbus registers into clear Home Assistant entities tailored to the detected system.

01

Understand your system

Flow, return, hot water, outside temperature, pressure, flow rate, runtimes and heat quantities in one clear interface.

  • Live sensor data
  • Energy & efficiency
  • Model-aware detection
Flow Return24 h
00:0006:0012:0018:0024:00
02

Precise control

Set target values, operating modes and enables directly through number, select and switch entities.

03

Smart automation

Connect PV surplus, heating circuits A–G, up to ten zones and hot water intelligently with your home.

04

KNX without the IDM module

The optional KNX bridge provides the same communication objects as IDM's ETS example project – the same object numbers, data point types and write directions. This removes the need for the paid Weinzierl BAOS gateway.

No separate KNX stack: the bridge uses Home Assistant's KNX integration, including tunneling, routing and KNX Secure.

iDM Smart Energy & Comfort

Understand energy use, plan comfort and spot unusual behavior. Choose Smart for additional analysis or Vanilla for core features.

01

Energy & costs

Electrical energy, heat and COP as lifetime, daily and monthly values. Add estimated costs, CO₂ and PV use, retained across restarts.

  • Optional tariff sensor
  • Separate Analytics group
  • Analysis only

02

PV hot water & schedules

Optionally charge hot water using PV surplus or set room targets in up to 16 daily windows. Both are off by default and require confirmation of exclusive control.

  • HA timezone
  • Conditional restore
  • Write-enabled features

03

Health Monitor & advice

Eight diagnostic checks, heating and weather hints, and a diagnostic export for your installer. Recommendations do not change setpoints or replace fault diagnosis.

  • Separate Health and Comfort groups
  • Read-only

04

Guided setup

Standard, Advanced and Expert offer the same features at different levels of detail. Choose the categories you need and retain the other settings.

  • Smart or Vanilla
  • Choose relevant sensors
  • Existing IDs are retained

05

AI plant adviser (experimental)

Daily, weekly, health and efficiency reports generated directly from measured facts — with no model call by default. A dedicated AI device, report buttons, dashboard export, a restart-safe schedule and local learning with live progress.

  • Measured-data reports by default
  • Optional Ollama, HA AI Task, OpenAI, Z.ai
  • Read-only, no cloud required
Discover AI reports →

Every feature in this section has been part of the integration since v0.18.0. Write-enabled features stay off by default and require confirmation; the AI plant adviser is experimental and read-only.
