(Just in case I am not the only one missed this APP) > Blockquote [Bathroom fans - no support?](https://community.homey.app/t/bathroom-fans-no-support/16763) Just found below APP for my 2 pcs PAX Calima and installed successfully to my Homey Pro 2023 Pax Calima / v2.0.8 / [Pax Calima App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-fi/app/se.pax.calima/Pax-Calima/) 1st installed unit works with charm, 2nd keeps getting offline after some hours (send email to developer as cannot see APP-dedicated pages yet ) ---

I’m not sure if i am doing something wrong but i get an initial connection and it looks like i can read all data, but shortly after pairing/adding my PAX calima i loose the connection and i will no longer be able to read or control anything. I have got it to work for short periods and i am suspecting that it has to do when i connect with the PAX app. Whenever i open my PAX app, the fan goes into bluetooth mode and when i close the app it also closes the connection. Seems like this behavior is why i see updates on homey for very short periods. Could it be that the homey app doesn’t keep the bluetooth connection active over time? I did send an email to developer without any response. Anyone else seing the same problem, or know if i am doing something wrong? ---

after my above success, I have seen exact same issue as you… some data comes once and then and mostly not… same for controls. My 2 x Pax only 2m (one brick wall) and 4m (2 brick wall) away, but even if Homey taken closer, did not resolve… I exchanged emails with developer, based on his feedback Homey BT issue… As was only “nice to have” for me, did not focus more on this… ---

I would like to revive this thread as I am looking for bathroom fans to integrate into my Homey system. Pax Calima is only a short range option because of Bluetooth only. I have asked their customer service and there is “no smart home integration planned”. Found the Duka Smartfan Wifi [SmartFan fläkt med WiFi-kontroll](https://share.google/o5ieJNH1eCVBOByyX) as an alternative. Seems to have all set up for Homey integration, with temp/humidity sensors, WiFi and native app control. The sales representative stated that they want to develop smart home integration but not yet in pipeline. Is there a community developer interested in taking it on? Besides bathrooms, these fans are also be great for warm/cool air transport between rooms, from fireplaces etc. ---

This fan issue seems to be of low interest? I am still interested to learn if/how to assess if a fan (e.g. Duka Smartfan) with built-in WiFi control and native app can be adapted for Homey by a community development. At Duka, customer service claims it’s not open for this kind of integration today, but I don’t know how “protected “it is and how to assess the possibilities myself. Anyone who knows what to ask for, or how to investigate practically if buying the fan myself? [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/bathroom-fans-no-support/16763.md?page=1)
