It will therefore be removed from the integration in the future. + +The consequences of shutting down the unit can be costly and extensive. For example, there can be condensation issues in freezing temperatures, and rotary heat exchangers can freeze. + +If you need to shut down the unit, make sure to take all necessary precautions, such as securing the system with frost protection dampers. + +Furthermore, Flexit recommends to unplug the unit from the power socket before replacing a filter. To prevent damage, always initiate a controlled shutdown from the control panel (or, in the future, from a service call in Home Assistant) before unplugging the device. + {% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
