SMART-GATE
What is the Smart-Gate?
The sct. Smart-Gate is the ideal tool for building automation – for both new construction and renovation projects. As a central control unit for building automation, with numerous integrated interfaces, it contributes to the highly efficient operation of all heating and cooling systems.
No moving parts or fans. DIN rail mounting with robust hardware for 24/7 operation. Remote maintenance and updates. Web browser interface for real-time control, visualization, and individual configuration.
Scalable and modular – supports expansions for additional inputs/outputs, wireless protocols, and industry-standard interfaces. Ideal for residential buildings, commercial buildings, and custom industrial projects.
Proactive service and support – Our service package includes our team's rapid response to system failures and the provision of the latest Smart-Gate updates to keep your automation environment secure, stable, and up-to-date.
Your response to the new EPBD directive
The EPBD Challenge: Take Action Before 2026 Becomes Mandatory
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is setting new standards for non-residential buildings. By 2026 (for systems ≥ 290 kW) and no later than 2029 (for systems ≥ 70 kW), buildings must be equipped with intelligent BACS (Building Automation and Control Systems). The requirement is clear: systems must not only measure energy consumption but actively and automatically optimize it.
With our Smart-Gate, you can meet these strict legal requirements efficiently and in a brand-neutral manner.
The Brain of Your Technical Room
The Smart-Gate is far more than just a gateway. It is a high-performance, fanless control platform that acts as a central interface (LAN, Modbus, KNX, DALI) to network all technical systems in your building.
- Real-Time Optimization: Capturing critical data in 5-second intervals for immediate responsiveness.
- Maximum Resilience: Full offline capability guarantees operational safety even without a cloud connection.
- Brand Neutrality: Integration of existing hardware from various manufacturers without expensive system changes or proprietary lock-in.
Collaborative Data Intelligence: SCT & Zero Edition
In cooperation with Zero Edition, we elevate the Smart-Gate to a new level of efficiency. While the Smart-Gate captures data on-site, the dynamic building simulation from Zero Edition provides the resulting strategy.
Your Advantage:
- Data Acquisition: The Smart-Gate reads all operating states across the entire energy chain—Source, Production, and Distribution.
- Simulation: Zero Edition calculates the energetic optimum using a digital twin.
- Automation: The Smart-Gate dynamically adjusts heating, cooling, and ventilation—fully automated and compliant with the BACS requirements of the EPBD.
Why Switch Now?
- Legal Compliance: Secure your property’s value and avoid sanctions by implementing EPBD requirements early.
- Cost Reduction: Lower energy costs through demand-driven, dynamic control that goes far beyond rigid schedules.
- Transparency: Visualize your energy flows in real-time and identify potential savings via the web interface.

What are the advantages of a smart gate?
Central control unit
It acts as the brain of your smart building, orchestrating automation tasks. It connects and controls heating, cooling, and more.
Safety function
Secure remote access with encrypted communication. Role-based access management for users and installers.
Interfaces
Universal connectivity through: Digital and analog inputs/outputs, LAN, RS-485, Modbus RTU, KNX, DALI, 1-Wire and Link Bus.
Offline capability
It also works without an internet connection; all automation logic is processed locally. Improves reliability, security, and data privacy.
Independent control of regeneration and heating programs
Manufacturer-independent intelligence for every source
In systems with potentially freezing media – such as air or geothermal energy – targeted defrosting, regeneration, and heating programs are essential for operational reliability. Conventional gateways often reach their limits here: They are usually rigidly tied to the logic of the respective heat pump or, in hybrid systems, only allow switching between sources without actively controlling them.
The Smart-Gate solution
With the Smart-Gate, we eliminate this dependency. It autonomously controls and executes the precisely appropriate program for each source – completely independent of the heat pump model used.
• Versatile applications: From classic defrost cycles to complex regeneration processes.
• Specialized applications: Full control over specific requirements, such as the precise heating program for the Energy Cube.
• Efficiency optimization: Programs are only run when they are truly necessary, which reduces the overall energy consumption of the system.

FAQs
What distinguishes the Smart Gate from other gateways?
Unlike conventional gateways, the Smart-Gate is manufacturer-independent.
The Smart-Gate provides detailed, real-time monitoring of all key components in the utility room.
Heat pump settings, such as heating curves, compressor output, setpoint temperatures, etc., can be adjusted in real time from anywhere in the world.
In what form will the smart gate be delivered?
The Smart-Gate comes in a compact form as an insert component for the heat pump or in a matching E-Box for installation in the utility room.
In the sct. heat pump module, the Smart-Gate is already permanently installed in the heat pump and only needs to be connected to power and the internet.
What data can the smart gate read?
The following data, among others, can be accessed via the company's online portal:
- COP value (Seasonal Performance Factor)
- Heating capacity
- Cooling capacity
- Electrical consumption
- Heat pump inlet and outlet temperatures
- Outside air temperatures
- System pressure
- Compressor speed
and much more.
At what intervals can the data from the smart gate be read online?
Normally, the smart gate measures data from the heat pump and connected devices every 15 minutes.
For more detailed analysis, readings can be recorded at 5-second intervals over periods of 2, 3, or 5 minutes.
How many heat pumps can be controlled with one smart gate?
The Smart-Gate can control up to 32 heat pumps simultaneously. This depends on how many additional devices (such as circulation pumps, valves, etc.) need to be controlled/monitored by the Smart-Gate.
What information does the smart gate send and how will I be notified?
The smart gate provides notifications about:
- Changes to settings,
- the operating status of the heat pump, and
- error messages or
- system malfunctions.
Users or authorized personnel can receive notifications via email or SMS and access them through the online portal.
How long is the recorded data stored online?
Information and measurement points recorded by the Smart Gate are available online for a period of 2 years.
