Prerequisites
Your Flexit device should be equipped with an ethernet port, and no additional modules should be required. This integration communicates with the BACnet protocol over Ethernet.

- Open the Flexit Go app on your mobile.
- On the main screen, select the Find product button.
- Select your device and select Connect.
- Enter the installer code (default: 1000) and select Login.
- Go to More > Installer > Communication > BACnet settings.
- Note down the IP address and Device ID.

Platforms
This integration supports the following platforms.
Climate
The integration adds an entity for climate with controls for preset ventilation modes and fan mode. It also has state for temperatures.
Sensor
The integration adds entities for sensors with different readings from the device. There is currently support for the following sensors:
- Outside air temperature
- Supply air temperature
- Exhaust air temperature
- Extract air temperature
- Room temperature
- Fireplace ventilation remaining duration
- Rapid ventilation remaining duration
- Supply air fan control signal
- Supply air fan
- Exhaust air fan control signal
- Exhaust air fan
- Electric heater power
- Air filter operating time
- Heat exchanger efficiency
- Heat exchanger speed
Binary sensor
The integration adds an entity for a binary sensor called Air filter polluted which tells if it's time to change the filters in the unit.
Number
The integration adds entities for setting setpoints for the fan in the respective mode:
- Away
- Home
- Fireplace
- High
- Cooker hood
The integration adds entities for setting remaining time in minutes for:
- Fireplace mode runtime (in minutes)
Switch
The integration adds the following switches:
- Electric heater that controls the heating element in the unit.
- Fireplace mode that enables or disables the Fireplace mode.
A note about shutting down the device
Flexit recommends that the function to turn off the unit is not made accessible in the interface for an ordinary user. 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 unplugging 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 an action in Home Assistant) before unplugging the device.
Data updates
The integration {% term polling polls %} data from the Flexit device every 60 seconds by default. This interval is not configurable.
Removing the integration
This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.
