Hi everyone, I have a problem with my air control: I cannot make it smart. I want it turned off during the night, because we can hear it in our bedroom.

The easiest option is with a smart plug, but it’s a rather large machine and I don’t want to reboot it all the time. So I’m curious if I can get some tips and recommendations here. I added a few photos to clarify the situation.

Possibly using this: [GitHub - yoziru/esphome-zehnder-comfoair: Interact with Zehnder Comfoair Q using ESPHome and Home Assistant](https://github.com/yoziru/esphome-zehnder-comfoair)

(but I have no idea if your controller is connected to a “Comfair Q” device, crystal ball is broken today)
