Our SmartValve is a secure valve control unit that provides energy service providers the ability to remotely manage and instantly control the supply of energy to their customers.
ista’s SmartValve is not just a shut-off device; it’s a connected, intelligent component that transforms the way cooling is delivered, monitored and managed across your network. Designed for real-time responsiveness and seamless integration, it provides property operators with precise control over consumption and performance, both individually and in total. Whether used in retrofit installations or new builds, SmartValve bridges the gap between hardware and data, enabling the creation of automated, insight-driven energy infrastructure.
At its core, the ista SmartValve is a remotely controlled shut-off valve that is installed directly on the cooling line of individual units. Once installed, it enables building managers or utility providers to open or close the valve remotely, based on consumption data, payment status or custom logic.
The device communicates wirelessly via LoRaWAN®, a secure, long-range, low-power protocol with excellent in-building penetration, ensuring reliable connectivity even in dense developments, high rise towers and apartment blocks. For added flexibility, the SmartValve is available in both mains-powered and battery-powered versions. The battery-powered model offers easy, cable-free installation, while the mains-powered version enables real-time control and continuous two-way data transmission.
Thanks to its built-in communication capabilities, the SmartValve can be fully integrated with the ista IoT platform or connected to third-party systems via secure APIs. The mains-powered version can also read meter data and compare it to valve status, making it possible to detect anomalies such as fraud or tampering.
Each unit features onboard memory, diagnostic LEDs and encrypted communication to ensure secure, smooth operation.
Discover how smart valves can optimize flow control, improve system performance, and reduce energy consumption with real-time data and automated adjustments.
The SmartValve is engineered for easy, non-invasive installation with minimal downtime making it ideal for both new and retrofit projects. It can be mounted in various orientations and installed without the need to shut down the building’s cooling system. Integrated LED indicators guide technicians during setup, while remote configuration ensures a fast, contactless commissioning process. Whether battery- or mains-powered, the valve connects seamlessly to ista’s IoT platform and can be integrated into external systems like SCADA, BMS, or billing platforms. This flexibility makes it a plug-and-play solution for smarter energy control at the unit level.
The ista SmartValve is an intelligent, IoT-enabled device that gives you remote control over the cooling supply to individual units. You can open or close valves instantly, monitor usage in real time, and even detect signs of tampering. It’s a powerful tool for reducing energy waste, preventing unauthorised consumption, and managing your energy network more efficiently.
The SmartValve is designed for flexibility and can be installed in a wide range of buildings — from high-rise residential towers to mixed-use developments. It's suitable for new builds and retrofit projects alike, and works with various valve types, including gate and butterfly valves.
Yes. The SmartValve features open, secure APIs that allow it to connect with billing systems, SCADA platforms, and building management systems. You can also operate and monitor the valves via ista’s IoT platform and dashboard, offering full visibility and control.
Absolutely. The Retrofit SmartValve model is specifically designed for buildings with pre-installed valves. It attaches to existing infrastructure, minimising disruption and eliminating the need for a full system overhaul. It’s a practical and cost-effective way to upgrade your control capabilities.
By giving you the ability to remotely shut off cooling to unoccupied or unauthorised units, the SmartValve helps prevent energy waste and unauthorised consumption. It also reduces the need for site visits, streamlines operational workflows, and supports smart billing — ultimately saving both time and money.
