The problem

Since 28 October 2026, Airzone Cloud refuses commands from outside your home unless you pay €48 a year. You can still see your system. You can no longer control it.

What the Airzone Cloud app allows, before and after 28 October 2026 At home, seeing and commanding works both before and after. Away from home, seeing works both before and after, but commanding was allowed before and is refused after, unless you pay. Before 28 Oct 2026 Since 28 Oct 2026, no paid plan At home: see the rooms ✓ works ✓ works At home: send commands ✓ works ✓ works Away: see the rooms ✓ works ✓ works Away: send commands ✓ worked ✕ refused One cell changed. It is the one that makes a connected system worth having.

Why it matters

Remote control is the whole point of a connected system: warming the house before you arrive, switching off what you forgot, lowering everything while you travel. It was part of the system when I bought it, and now it has a price. It hurts most in holiday homes, rented flats and the homes of elderly parents, where you are never present. In my view it is a paywall, not a security measure: it is my account, on my system.

Common questions

Why can't I control my Airzone system from outside my home any more?

The cloud now accepts commands only from your home internet connection, unless a paid plan is active.

Do I have to pay for Airzone Cloud to control my heating away from home?

With the official app, yes: €48 a year.

Is there an Airzone Cloud alternative with no subscription?

Yes: Warmhole, an independent and unofficial project in public beta. A small box at home sends your commands, so the cloud sees them coming from your home.

There is a solution

A €15 box plugged in at home, a free site, about ten minutes. No subscription.
