I’m looking at installing SmartVent Positive3 ventilation system with heat transfer. I see there is an app available, does anyone know of it can integrated into home assistant & what controls are provided within?

thanks

Not answering your question but just making sure you are getting the heat transfer to move heat from a fireplace not from a heatpump. As it will not work with heat from a heatpump.

very quickly, make sure you get the returns installed. very common shortcut taken which reduces efficiency and safety (otherwise it blows your heat outside and can cause fireplace to backdraft).

also check how the heat transfer works. the cheap ones cut off the ventilation when they do heat transfer. the good ones (often using two fans) run both at the same time.
