+Vaillant + CheckYout: your heating knows when the guest has left
Guest checks out, your heating knows they have left: your Vaillant switches to away mode automatically – unless the next guest is arriving that same day. With a connected PMS it warms back up in time before the next arrival.
In the Smart Home add-on – CHF 9.90/month
Widespread in DACH
Vaillant heating systems are common in vacation rentals across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CheckYout supports vSMART, eRELAX and ambiSENSE.
Empty rental, heating in away mode
Empty rentals don’t need a flow temperature. Between two guests, the heating runs in away mode instead of at comfort temperature. With a heat pump, that shows on the electricity bill.
Enter your login once, assign thermostats
Enter Vaillant credentials once, assign thermostats to properties. About 5 minutes.
Your password is not stored
Your Vaillant password is discarded immediately after connection. CheckYout only stores the API token – securely in your account.
Heat-pump setup
With a Vaillant heat pump (aroTHERM, flexoTHERM, recoCOMPACT), away mode pays off more: electricity instead of gas, heating an empty rental costs visibly.
How it works
Enter your myVAILLANT or vSMART login once in CheckYout (only the API token is stored)
Check-out detected – thermostat switches to away mode, unless the next guest is arriving that same day
Before the next arrival it warms back up in good time (lead time adjustable, with PMS)
Compatible thermostats
You log in with your myVAILLANT or vSMART account – whichever app you use on your phone.
What happens at check-out
Guest scans the QR code while leaving the property
Cleaning team receives a WhatsApp notification instantly
Vaillant switches to away mode
→ Only if no arrival is planned on the same day
→ On arrival days, Vaillant pre-heats in good time before check-in
Cleaning team arrives (about 30 min drive)
Cleaning complete, host is notified
Cleaning team starts the next job
3 h earlier→ More properties per day, especially in high season
Next guest can check in
2 h earlier→ Instead of the default 4 PM check-in
The moment the guest checks out, your Vaillant heating knows and switches to away mode, unless the next guest is arriving that same day – instead of warming an empty place.
Pre-heating requires a connected PMS.
More integrations
How do I automate my Vaillant heating for vacation rentals?
CheckYout connects to your myVAILLANT or vSMART account and switches to away mode at check-out, unless the next guest is arriving that same day. Before the next arrival the system pre-heats in time – lead time configurable, with a connected PMS.
Which Vaillant thermostats are supported?
All Vaillant thermostats that work with the vSMART, eRELAX or myVAILLANT app: vSMART, eRELAX and ambiSENSE. You sign in with the account you already use on your phone – regardless of which of the three apps.
How much can I save with a Vaillant heat pump?
With a heat pump (aroTHERM, flexoTHERM, recoCOMPACT) away mode pays off clearly: electricity instead of gas, heating an empty rental costs visibly.
How do I connect myVAILLANT with CheckYout?
You enter your myVAILLANT or vSMART login once in CheckYout. After authentication, the password is discarded immediately – only the API token is stored. Then you assign thermostats to your properties.
Does it also work with gas boilers?
Yes. Away mode acts on the thermostat, not on the heat source – whether it’s a heat pump, gas condensing boiler or pellet boiler. With a gas boiler the saving is smaller than with a heat pump, and it still adds up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Vaillant integration
Is my Vaillant password stored?
No. Your login is used once to establish the connection and then discarded. What is stored is only the technical token that lets CheckYout temporarily control the thermostat. You can revoke access at any time from your Vaillant account.
What happens if I have several Vaillant thermostats?
For each property you pick which thermostat should react to the check-out. One sign per property, one thermostat per sign.
Can I set the eco-mode target temperature myself?
Yes. In the integration settings you set, per property, the target temperature for eco mode at check-out, as well as the warm-up temperature before the next check-in. The values stay in place until you change them.
Multiple properties? Each connected individually.
Do you have your own Vaillant thermostat in every property? Each one is assigned individually to its property. Each property has its own temperature profiles and preheat times.
- One CheckYout account covers your whole portfolio
- Per property, a dedicated assignment – thermostat, zone, temperature profile
- Configurations don’t interfere with each other
No more heating for empty rentals
Set up in 5 minutes. The heating runs only when the property is occupied.
