I purchased a used HRV + summer kit system recently from its 1st owner who had www.hrv.co.nz installed it in his place at late 2012, see below photo for all the units and wall control panel

One problem of my purchase is that there is no summer kit temperature sensor in the package, and this is the critical component for the summer kit feature to function, otherwise the whole HRV system just works as the basic HRV system.

The previous owner said originally there was no temp sensor for the summer kit, which is very doubtful.

Does anyone have the temp sensor for this model of summer kit to offer? Or do you know where I can find one of this type of temp sensor? What is the model of the temp sensor for this type of summer kit?

As far as I know, there are very few families in New Zealand having this model of summer kit integrated into their HRV systems, and the chance of finding one of this type of temp sensor is even less.

However this isn't urgent to me, as now the winter season is coming, no need to have the summer kit functioning until the next hot summer season comes.

BTW this winter season will be a good chance for me to monitor and test this HRV system in my place.

This is now your 5th thread on your HRV unit with very little engagement from the community - I also note you marked a number of your threads as "solved" without actually telling the community how you solved it.

We're not HRV support, and HRV units in general are quite locked down in a sense where HRV themselves are the one who service them.

Please stop creating new threads on here on the same basic questions. As it also looks like you're making changes yourself and mains electricity is involved from a safety perspective I'm going to have to say you're on your own.

Please contact a HRV installer or HRV directly and if you're not a licensed electrician you need to stop now and get one for your own safety.

All these posts are on different functional areas of HRV system, it is good to separate them as different posts, instead of putting them all together as one post. as there will be less members being able to answer all questions in different functional areas in one post, so having separate posts is more easier for them to tackle one by one.

Whether the members can and want to answer my questions is all up to them, and this shouldn't restrain me on publishing posts here and how many I publish.

From the technology point of view, the HRV system itself isn't complicated, and a lot of people are aware of this. But as it only targets the local market, not in the wider area, not to say the international market, it constrains the tech details of its system being released to the public (I don't want to make too much comments on this), and this makes it look a bit of "mysterious".

I myself ever alone installed, configured a lot more complex tech system, and it is made by the world tech leader in that area, but they have the confidence to release its tech details of the system publicly and this helps them to be a global leader and do great business worldwide.

The electrical tasks like this is easy for me, the previous electrical work I did on my own are all done perfectly well. they're all the DIY tasks and all for my own property, not for anyone else, so I'm ok to be on my own.

When I worked on the electrical works for my own property, sometimes I noticed that some of those works done by the previous electricians or the other technicians have problems and I rectified them to make them right and better. This gives me the impression that some of those technicians didn't really understand what they did, but they just did it.

Thank you anyway for your post.

sorry to bump this up but i would like to know how you got on with this.

when i was looking around at ventilation systems, there was only one that had automatic summer kit (dvs) all the rest where manual (key pad controlled). tho one advertised auto but it was based off room temp and was not longer available.

so i doubt it even has the temp sensor.

i've just upgraded my own by adding a thermostat to the duct damper, so it turns it from a manual to automatic summer kit.
