Stûv, IoT Heating Systems

Creator Platform
IOT
Belgium
the brief

Stûv needed a control layer that would make pellet heating feel immediate and trustworthy at scale: thousands of stoves responding in real time, with precise setpoints and feedback, and zero tolerance for outages—especially in winter.

Simple to say and hard to deliver: remote control that “just works,” across P10 and P20 models, for everyday users and support teams alike.

‍

Stûv is a well-known brand in their segment. They craft high-end, design-forward pellet stoves, and they do it to the highest possible standards. Great hardware will always be the cornerstone of what they do, but they wanted to take things further. The company wanted to extend the user experience beyond the living room, connecting stoves to the cloud and enabling remote control, diagnostics, and maintenance.

‍

The challenge was simple, but demanded absolute precision: we were to bring a traditionally offline product into the connected era without compromising customer expectations for a tried and true product they rely on. We were to enhance the premium Stûv brand, not complicate it.

What we did

Brilean designed and built the full IoT layer from the ground up.

We developed the embedded systems to collect and transmit live stove data, built the cloud backend to process and route that data, and designed the mobile app interface for everyday users.

‍

The system supported real-time control of key functions — temperature, scheduling, energy usage — for both the P10 and P20 stove models. Users could monitor performance, adjust settings, and even receive alerts remotely. Distributors and support teams also gained backend tools for troubleshooting and proactive maintenance.

‍

All of this ran on an infrastructure built for continuity, delivering enterprise-grade reliability across thousands of connected appliances.

The left screen has options to toggle Power mode or Thermostatic mode with an Eco-stop switch below, plus a note about how Eco-stop works and a button for Setpoint settings. The right screen displays Settings and Information menus with options like Room temperature probe, Pellet Set, Language, Date & time, Connected appliances, Appliance status, Alarms history, Maintenance, System information, Warranty, Data sharing and privacy, and User’s manual. Bottom navigation bar includes Home, Mode, Schedule, and Settings tabs.
