Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions announced the launch of its Aquarea Home app on 6 May 2025. The app is downloadable from Google Play and the App Store and lets users control and monitor Aquarea Room products from a smartphone or tablet1.
The app works with Aquarea Air Smart fan coils, Aquarea Loop, Aquarea Vent and RAC Solo where the controller has built-in Wi-Fi, giving a direct connection. For Aquarea heat pumps and systems without integrated Wi-Fi, the Home Network Hub accessory is required1. Panasonic describes the app as part of a wider set of online tools for managing Aquarea heat pumps and their room heating terminals, alongside Comfort Cloud and the tado° app1.
Features include personalised scenarios for each room or zone, with specific temperatures set for individual rooms and units, and programmable weekly schedules1.

Why it matters for households
For a home running a Panasonic Aquarea air source heat pump, the app adds a phone-based route to the controls that already govern when and at what temperature the system runs. Room-by-room temperature setting and weekly scheduling are the levers that shape how much energy a heat pump uses, because a system held at a steady, lower flow temperature and run to a schedule generally draws less than one run at high output for short bursts. Households on a time-of-use tariff have a further reason to care about scheduling, since shifting demand into cheaper windows depends on the controls being able to hold a plan without manual intervention1.
The compatibility detail matters as much as the app itself. Owners of Aquarea heat pumps without integrated Wi-Fi cannot use the app on the pump alone; they need the Home Network Hub accessory, so the app is not a free upgrade for every existing Aquarea household1. Panasonic has not reported pricing for the app or the hub, nor which specific heat pump models fall outside built-in Wi-Fi, and no UK availability date beyond the launch has been given1.
The launch sits within the broader heating controls market, where app control is now common across manufacturers. What the app does not change is the physical system: scheduling and zoning can reduce waste, but the size of the saving depends on the building, the tariff and how the heat pump is set up, and Panasonic has published no performance or saving figures for this app1.
