Grant Aerona 290 Smart Controls
Grant Aerona Smart Controller Kit for QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed Cylinders – HP290SMARTPP
A dedicated smart control accessory kit for Grant Aerona 290 R290 air source heat pumps installed with a Grant QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder. Includes a Wi-Fi hub, outdoor weather sensor and two water temperature sensors.
The Grant Aerona Smart Controller Kit for Smart Pre-Plumbed Cylinders (HP290SMARTPP) is designed to complete compatible heating installations pairing a Grant Aerona 290 R290 air source heat pump with a Grant QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder. It supplies the additional smart control components required for this specific setup without duplicating hardware already factory-fitted to the cylinder.
Because the QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder includes its own wiring centre and touchscreen display, this kit focuses on the components needed for connected monitoring and temperature sensing. The included Aerona Smart Wi-Fi Hub provides remote access through Grant's ecoNET24 platform, while the outdoor weather sensor and two water temperature sensors support system monitoring and weather-compensated operation.
Compatible with all five Grant Aerona 290 R290 heat pump models, from 4kW to 15.5kW, this kit helps installers configure the appropriate smart control arrangement for a QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder installation. It is specifically intended for this cylinder type and is not interchangeable with the full HP290SMART kit for standard, non pre-plumbed cylinder installations.

Important: Check the Cylinder Type
HP290SMARTPP is specifically for installations using a Grant QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder. The cylinder already includes its own wiring centre and touchscreen display, so these components are not included in this kit.
For standard, non pre-plumbed cylinder installations: the full HP290SMART kit is identified as the alternative that includes the wiring centre and touchscreen. Check the system requirements before ordering.
Installation and Sensor Placement
- The outdoor weather sensor should be mounted on an external north-facing wall, away from direct sunlight.
- Water temperature sensors clip onto the relevant pipework and should be insulated as specified in the installation instructions.
- The outdoor sensor cable specification is 2 × 0.5mm² minimum, with a maximum length of 25m.
- Installation and commissioning must be completed by a qualified installer in accordance with BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations and the Grant QR2 Smart Pre-Plumbed Cylinder installation manual (DOC 0217).
