Hey all,
Nibe Live gives each job your heat pump does its own place in Homey — with separate controls, energy tracking and automation.
It connects to your Nibe S-series directly over your local network. No myUplink account is needed for the connection, and local readings and controls keep working if your internet goes down.
One heat pump, separate Homey devices
Heating your home and making hot water are different jobs. Nibe Live lets you see and control them that way.
| Device | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Heating | Set your room temperature, adjust the heat curve and follow indoor, outdoor and supply temperatures. Ventilation controls appear here where supported. |
| Hot Water | Choose demand mode, boost hot water, adjust charging temperatures and see estimated hot water available in litres. |
| Pool | Set your pool temperature and control pool heating with a supported accessory. |
| Cooling | Control cooling, night cooling and the outdoor temperature thresholds that govern it. |
| Solar | Follow solar production in Homey Energy with the EME 20 accessory. |
| Main | See what the pump is doing, change operating mode, follow total efficiency and view alarms and runtime statistics. |
Heating, hot water, pool and cooling each get their own energy tracking. Add the devices you want and choose which readings and controls they carry.
Available features depend on your model, firmware and accessories.
Let your rooms guide the heating
Use your pump’s own temperature sensors, or the sensors you already have in Homey.
If you currently rely on the heat curve alone, room-temperature feedback tells the pump how warm your home actually is. You set a target temperature, and the pump uses that feedback in its own heating regulation.
You can:
-
Keep a supported native temperature sensor connected to the pump.
-
Choose a Homey temperature sensor in the room that matters most.
-
Average several Homey sensors, with each contributing equally.
The pump keeps its own regulation and Smart Price Adaption. Selecting several rooms provides one combined temperature for the selected heating zone.
To set it up: open your Heating device → Repair → Heating Setup. Choose your sensors, follow the instructions for enabling and assigning the external indoor sensor on the pump, then verify and save.
Homey sensors require compatible external sensor support on the pump. Homey and the selected sensors need to stay available with valid readings. The setup has been verified on an S1155-16; support and menus vary across models.
See where your electricity goes
How much electricity goes to hot water? How much to heating?
Nibe Live allocates electricity use according to the job the pump is doing, giving each function its own meter in Homey Energy. Standby consumption is allocated to Main.
You can follow:
-
Electricity used by each function.
-
Energy delivered, where the pump provides the counters.
-
Efficiency (COP) — energy delivered divided by electricity used, over a rolling 30-day window.
-
Solar production, with a supported accessory.
Per-function electricity use is an estimate. COP depends on the readings your pump provides, so some models will have fewer efficiency figures. Give it a few days to build useful history.
Add every function you want tracked separately: energy for a function you haven’t added is allocated to Main. Energy totals start when you add the devices, so they won’t match myUplink’s lifetime totals.
Know how much hot water is available
Tank temperatures don’t always tell you whether there’s enough for another shower.
Nibe Live estimates the litres of 40°C water available from your tank’s temperatures and capacity. Choose your tank or configure its capacity in Hot Water Setup.
Use the estimate to check availability, trigger a notification when it falls below your chosen level, or start a boost through a Flow.
It’s an estimate of stored hot water, not a measurement of water flowing through your taps.
Put prices and routines to work
Adjust Nibe’s Smart Price Adaption separately for each function:
| Function | Price influence |
|---|---|
| Heating | 1–10, with its own on/off |
| Hot water | 1–4, with its own on/off |
| Pool | 0–10; follows the master switch |
| Cooling | 0–10, with its own on/off |
The master switch lives on Main. Controls appear where supported by the pump.
Homey Flows also let you build your own routines. For example:
-
Boost hot water before the household’s morning showers.
-
Change the heating target when you leave or return.
-
Adjust price influence at different times of day.
-
Notify you when estimated hot water falls below a chosen level.
These controls adjust the pump’s existing price-adaption feature; they don’t replace its price service.
Understand what the pump is doing
Alarms come with descriptions. Use the alarm Flow trigger to send yourself a notification that says what happened. The app’s Alarms page also includes NIBE’s cause-and-action guidance.
An operating-priority change trigger reports when the pump switches between jobs, with an explanation based on the temperatures and thresholds the app can read.
Readings, modes and writable settings are available through Flow triggers, conditions and actions. There’s also an advanced action for supplying an outdoor temperature, which requires external outdoor sensor input to be enabled on the pump.
Getting started
For S-series, you need a compatible pump on the same network as your Homey Pro or Homey Self-Hosted Server.
-
Enable Modbus TCP on the pump in menu 7.5.9.
-
Install Nibe Live and add Nibe S-Series.
-
Let the app find your pump, or enter its IP address.
-
Review the detected functions and choose your devices.
Return to Repair to change features, configure heating sensors or set up your hot-water tank.
A few useful details
-
Controls vary by model. Some pumps don’t expose a hot-water on/off switch over Modbus.
-
Where available, turning Hot Water off also blocks manual boosts.
-
The pump accepts one Modbus connection at a time, so another integration can interfere.
-
Changing settings affects a live heating system. Use the same care as when adjusting the pump itself.
-
Anonymous usage sharing is optional and off unless you enable it.
F-series: experimental
F-series support is being tested through compatible local Modbus gateways. It has not yet been verified on live F-series hardware, and control writes depend on the gateway.
Energy allocation and COP are experimental. The allocation covers compressor and immersion-heater consumption; fans, circulation pumps and other overheads are not included.
See the F-series setup and limitations before testing.
Help and feedback
Questions and experiences are welcome in this topic. Include your pump model and firmware when reporting something unexpected.
Thanks to Jan Sparud for the original app, and Henrik Aldermo / halderex for contributions to model compatibility, sensor control and energy verification. Register definitions were cross-checked against yozik04/nibe; alarm descriptions come from NIBE’s published documentation.
