# E.G.O. Smart Heater

Source: https://docs.evcc.io/en/heating/e-g-o-smart-heater

The Smart Heater must be connected to the local network. Messages must be repeated at least every 60 seconds, otherwise the heater will turn off for safety reasons.

**Important:** In the loadpoint configuration, set `mincurrent: 0.2` and `maxcurrent: 16`, as well as `phases: 1` for single-phase operation.

Sponsor token required: this device is available to sponsors of the project, see https://docs.evcc.io/en/sponsorship.
