Frequently asked questions about Heaty
Which heaters can I control with Heaty?
Heaty controls your existing parking heater directly, currently the Autoterm 2D and 4D, Timberline 1.0 and 2.0, the Webasto Air Top Evo 40 and the Eberspächer Airtronic S2 and S3. Heaty connects directly to the heater with the matching wiring harness, which is included. We are working on more Eberspächer and Webasto models as well as Truma, Alde, Wallas and Scheer. The current status is in the heater compatibility list.
Instead of fiddling with your heater's small original control panel, you simply set temperature, timer and operating mode on the SmartKnob or in the dashboard. One control for everything in the van, without a brand-specific display or app.
Do I need a SmartKnob for Heaty to work?
Yes. Heaty is a module and connects to the SmartKnob, which is the hub of the system. Without a SmartKnob there is no user interface and there are no automations. If you already have one in your vehicle, you simply pair Heaty with it.
Is one Heaty enough for my whole camper?
One Heaty controls exactly one heater. If you have two separate parking heaters in your vehicle, each gets its own Heaty. In return, each one stays individually and cleanly controllable via the SmartKnob and fits perfectly into scenes and automations.
What is included with Heaty?
Everything you need to connect it: the Heaty module, the wiring harness for exactly the heater you select when ordering, and four mounting screws. Because the cable already fits your heater, installation is genuinely plug-and-play: no tinkering, no hunting for adapters.
Does Heaty need a separate power supply?
Usually not. The supplied wiring harness is designed so that Heaty gets its power directly from the heater. That saves you extra cables and valuable build time.
The exception is the Timberline: there, Heaty needs its own additional 12V supply.
Just plug it in: as soon as Heaty is supplied with power, it actively starts looking for a SmartKnob in pairing mode.
Does Heaty work on 12V and 24V?
Yes. Heaty works in the range from 9 to 36V, so it fits both 12V and 24V systems. It takes its power directly from the heater via the supplied wiring harness anyway.
How much power does Heaty itself use?
0.3W in operation. For a module measuring 88x65x18mm, that makes no noticeable difference to the vehicle's total consumption, even over several days parked up.
What can I set with Heaty?
Everything you would otherwise do on your heater's control panel, only more conveniently. You set the target temperature, choose timer and operating mode and see the current status in real time, directly on the SmartKnob or in the dashboard.
The real benefit comes with automations: Heaty can be linked to your scenes and schedules, so that the heater, for example, warms up the van in the morning before you get up.
Which temperature sensor does Heaty use for control?
You decide. When you create the widget, you choose which temperature sensor is used, for example the SmartKnob's internal sensor in the living area instead of a sensor on the heater. That way the temperature is based on where you actually spend your time.
How do I heat only hot water with the Timberline?
Activate the heater with the toggle button at the top and set Heating and Ventilation at the bottom to OFF. The Timberline then heats only the water.
When will more Eberspächer devices, Truma and Alde be supported?
The Eberspächer Airtronic S2 and S3 already work. We are currently working on the other Eberspächer heaters, the Eberspächer Breezonic air conditioner, Truma and Alde. We do not give fixed dates, but you will always find the current status in the heater compatibility list.
My heater is not on the list. Can I still connect it?
Write to us with the manufacturer, the exact model from the rating plate and the control panel installed, and we will check whether and how it can be integrated. Please do not simply switch a heater through its power supply: after switching off it needs an afterrun to cool the burner.
