AirWise – Smart ventilation for Homey Pro

AirWise lets Homey run your heat-recovery ventilation (MVHR / VMC double flux) or extract-only ventilation (VMC simple flux) on its own, using the relays and sensors you already have. It does not talk to the ventilation unit directly: you pick the relays that switch low/high speed and the by-pass, and the sensors in each room, and AirWise decides.

Install from the Homey App Store

What it does

  • Speed: high speed on high CO₂, after a shower (humidity rise), for free cooling on summer nights; low speed during quiet hours (weekend hours too).
  • By-pass (MVHR): opens for free cooling when it’s cooler outside than inside, using the season and tomorrow’s forecast; closes automatically if it stays open in the cold.
  • Outdoor air: takes outdoor humidity, pollution and pollen into account (Open-Meteo, no account needed), with frost protection for the heat exchanger.
  • Home: open windows (opt-in per room), bedrooms at night, vacation mode when nobody is home, welcome-back boost.
  • Several units: each with its own rooms, e.g. an MVHR upstairs and an extract-only unit downstairs.
  • Works with any relay (Shelly, Fibaro, Sonoff…) and any sensor (temperature, humidity, CO₂, contact), or with your own Flows if you prefer.

In Homey

  • A device per unit with modes Auto / Boost / Silence / Away, time left, air quality, filter life and a quick-action boost.
  • An on/off switch to stop AirWise during maintenance: it keeps calculating but sends no commands.
  • 4 dashboard widgets: status with mode buttons, day statistics, a house cross-section with air flows, and an animated attic view.
  • Flow cards for everything, a decision log that explains every change, a 24 h chart, diagnostics and a replay of yesterday with your current settings.
  • Available in English, French, Dutch and German.

Getting started

  1. Install AirWise and open its settings: the setup assistant guides you through units, relays and rooms.
  2. AirWise starts in observation mode: check the decisions in the Status tab and the log for a day.
  3. Switch AirWise on when you’re happy with what it would do.

Feedback, questions and feature requests are welcome in this topic. If something looks wrong, a screenshot of the Status tab and the log helps a lot.
