Social Housing Gateway

Vaillant Group

The VR 100 GSM Gateway allows social landlords to intelligently manage their boiler stocks by using boiler data to make informed decisions that can drive business and operational efficiencies. It monitors data points on compatible boilers and controls in the portfolio to provide insights on the health and status of the boilers it's connected to.

These insights are combined with historical data that Vaillant has collected since 2006. This means the Social Housing Gateway can recommend fixes and parts required to help landlords maintain their stock as efficiently as possible. This data also gives insight into energy usage that can help landlords advise their tenants on their energy consumption.

The Social Housing Gateway is a scalable solution that integrates into existing property portfolio management tools to provide the data needed so landlords can pro-actively manage the heating in their housing stock.

Fault notifications:
Instant notification of faults means landlords can act quickly, sometimes even before the tenant is aware of an issue.

Improving first-time fix rates:
Fix recommendations are provided and spare parts identified ahead of visits.

Open API:
Vaillant's open API seamlessly integrates into existing work/asset management systems.

eSIM technology:
An eSIM in each VR 100 Gateway always ensures a strong and secure connection, with no need to access tenants' Wi-Fi. The eSIM card is updated remotely when changes are made to mobile networks, such as from 2G to LTE: no changes to the hardware are necessary.

JSON readable format:
Data is transmitted in JSON format - the most widely recognised format in the industry.

Simple installation:
Discreet and non-branded, the VR 100 gateway plugs straight onto the PCB board via the X31 or X32 edge connection.

Boiler compatibility:
Currently compatible with the ecoFIT sustain, ecoTEC sustain, ecoTEC pro and ecoTEC exclusive with Green iQ ranges of boilers (dating back to 2006).

Control compatibility:
View and remotely manage selective control parameters.
