More control over the warmth
If you want to adjust a terrace heater to the moment, a fixed on/off setting is not always enough. Vida allows continuously adjustable control within the supported load. Vida is suitable for a supported load up to 3,000 watts, has a 230V connection and an IP65 protection rating. Before buying, check which radiant heater you want to connect and whether dimming is permitted for that version.
Operation with remote control and app
The infrared remote control is included. With the Bluetooth app for iOS and Android, you can operate several Vida dimmers separately. The stated distances are approximately 6 metres for infrared operation and up to approximately 20 metres for Bluetooth under suitable conditions. The timer can match operation to your usage.

What a Welltherm Vida dimmer adds to your radiant heater
A Welltherm Vida dimmer is a control component for a suitable electric radiant heater without its own controls. The dimmer helps adjust the heat setting to the moment. This can be practical in a sheltered seating area where you want to change the warmth when occupancy or preferences change. Selection starts with the heater: provide the article number and output and have confirmation that this version may be dimmed with Vida.
The DVG3000 model is specified for a supported load up to 3000 watts at 230 volts. This is not independent heating output that the dimmer adds to an undersized heater. The connected heating remains the heat source. Several appliances also do not automatically form a suitable combination because their total wattage stays below a limit; the connection and supported configuration are assessed separately.

A dimming level and room temperature have different meanings. Vida sets the heat output of the compatible radiant heater. A room thermostat instead compares a temperature measurement with a desired setting. For use as space heating, suitable temperature controls may form part of the required system configuration. A lower dimming level does not take over that role.
Practical use of the remote control and Bluetooth
The included infrared remote control provides a direct operating option. The catalogue mentions a range of approximately six metres. Actual usability also depends on direction and conditions. Therefore consider where users sit and where the control component is positioned according to the instructions. A theoretical distance means little if the normal operating position does not provide a usable path to the receiver.

Vida’s app operation uses Bluetooth. The control information mentions iOS and Android and a possible distance up to approximately twenty metres under suitable conditions. This is not general internet control from every location. When you are out of range, a home Wi-Fi network does not automatically make the Bluetooth connection available. Choose operation based on the situation in which you use the heater.
With several dimmers, the app can control the relevant components separately. Give the dimmers recognisable names and check which one responds to each adjustment. A label such as left seating area or canopy can be clearer than just a number. Define the normal setting and switching off, especially when different people use the same location.
Check the connection and outdoor surroundings together
Vida has IP65 and a Schuko connection. These details belong to the dimmer; they do not automatically apply to all connected plugs, a socket or the radiant heater. Have the complete combination assessed for the actual installation position and exposure. One component’s protection rating does not provide general permission for every position in rain, damp or wind.
An existing HP radiant heater may have open cable ends. Such a connection does not suddenly become a directly pluggable appliance because Vida has an external Schuko connection. The professional determines the appropriate electrical configuration. Describe the existing connection point and send a photo, so the dimmer, heater and cable route can be selected as a single configuration.

Keep controls and connections accessible according to the product instructions. Avoid a route that can become trapped when opening sliding doors or moving chairs. A well-finished outdoor space also needs a practical installation plan. After renovation, reassess whether the original sheltered position and clearances have been retained.
Match the timer and switching off to usage
The app has a timer function to match operation to usage. A time setting can be useful when a period of occupancy is roughly known. Before normal use, check how the selected setting works and what happens when the period ends. Follow the documentation for the supplied Vida version.
For a consumption estimate, you need the connected heater’s characteristics and actual operation. A percentage displayed on a controller must not be used as an exact kWh measurement without substantiation. Where possible, use a suitable measurement method and your own electricity tariff. Our explanation of consumption distinguishes nominal capacity, operating time and measured energy.

A timer is not the same as an occupancy sensor or a temperature assessment of the entire space. Users remain responsible for the intended operation and following the product instructions. Particularly on a shared veranda or commercial seating area, make clear agreements about who switches the heaters on and checks that the desired setting ends after use.
Compare Vida with your desired heating plan
First describe whether the aim is personal warmth in a sheltered outdoor zone or temperature control in an enclosed space. Those two tasks may require different system choices. Vida is attractive when the supported dimming function suits the heater and usage preferences. For an indoor space, we also assess which temperature controls suit the complete installation.
For product details, view the official Welltherm Vida product sheet . HeatXL handles Benelux distribution and helps select the combination. Visit HeatXL or view available prices at infraroodpaneel.nl (Opens in a new tab). Include the radiant heater, connection and dimmer together in your enquiry.

Request advice with the radiant heater model, desired installation position and a brief description of the controls. State how many dimmers are required and who uses them. We can then assess the components and usage as a whole. The right dimmer choice starts with that specific combination, so comfortable operation suits an installation whose requirements are clear beforehand.
Documentation for your version
Match the product information and installation instructions to your chosen article number. On the downloads page, we give Dutch documents priority where available.
