How it works
Your hardware. Your logic. Your screen.
AquaLoad is a Node-RED palette, running on Victron GX devices or Home Assistant. Any service that runs Node-RED.
Hardware
Geyserwise, Geyserwala Connect, Shelly, Elon Smart (by Kwikot), or a Victron GX relay. Same model per load. Geyser, heat pump, pool or pump: the hardware stays yours.
What makes it unique
Not only a geyser.
AquaLoad is a Node-RED palette. It heats water when you need it. The Coordinator also runs several other loads on the same site.

Start process
$75. We install and test it.
A short loop: chat, order, install, run. Support stays in that loop.
01
Chat
A quick chat before we start. We check the site and the hardware.
02
Order
PayPal, or EFT for South African users only (R1,100 incl VAT).
03
Install + Test
Share access. Blue Dynamics installs the palette and tests it remotely.
04
Run
You use the screen you already open. Off, On or Auto. No new app.
05
Support
Need a hand later? We come back to Chat. Still here after handover.
Support loops back to Chat. Not a one-way handover.
Software
The AquaLoad Node-RED palette. We configure it remotely on your Victron GX or Home Assistant.
Hardware

The palette
What AquaLoad actually does.
Four ways to heat
Boost, solar dump, timers and min temp. Happy-Wife-Happy-Life sits on that min-temp floor, so the tank does not sit cold overnight.
Hardware you already own
Geyserwise, Geyserwala Connect, Shelly, Elon Smart (by Kwikot) and Victron relays. Same logic per load.
The screen you already open
Victron, Home Assistant or Remote Console. Off, On or Auto, and a live reason the load is on.
One Coordinator
Several loads in priority. It watches Victron consumption, respects max load, sheds overload and uses solar when there is room.
Local, not cloud
The palette runs on the box. If the internet drops, it still runs. If Node-RED stops, loads stay as they were.
Installed, not downloaded
Blue Dynamics puts it on your Node-RED, tests the flows and hands over. Not a file you import yourself.
