Combine technology, comfort, and air quality by integrating your air exchanger with home automation
At AirGreen, we firmly believe that true home comfort comes not only from smart management but also from the quality of the air you breathe. That’s why integrating an air exchanger into a home automation system has become a must for homeowners who care about well-being, energy efficiency, and intelligent control. Whether you live in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore, this technological synergy not only enhances your quality of life but also maximizes the performance of your HVAC system.
Why connect your air exchanger to a home automation system?
Automated ventilation management tailored to your real needs
A smart air exchanger integrated into a home automation system can analyze humidity levels, fine particles, or CO₂ levels in real time. It then automatically adjusts the ventilation flow, avoiding unnecessary overuse and ensuring optimal air quality without any manual intervention.
Daily energy savings
By synchronizing your air exchanger with motion sensors or your heating/cooling system, you optimize the overall operation of your HVAC installation. This leads to a significant reduction in energy consumption, especially during times when the home is unoccupied.
Remote control and intelligent monitoring
Thanks to connected interfaces (mobile apps, wall displays, voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home), you can control your air exchanger remotely: change the speed, start a one-time ventilation cycle, or schedule settings based on your family’s habits.
Technologies compatible with home automation
Air exchangers with smart protocols
Some modern brands like Venmar, Vanee, Aldes, or Lifebreath offer models compatible with protocols such as Z-Wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, or Modbus, making integration with popular home automation platforms (Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings, etc.) simple and efficient.
Integration using relays or smart modules
For more conventional air exchangers, we offer customized integration solutions: connected relay modules, smart switches, or HVAC-home automation communication interfaces that transform a standard unit into a smart air exchanger.
A concrete example: Installation of a connected air exchanger in Laval
A homeowner in Chomedey, Laval, recently contacted us to modernize their HVAC system. They had a Venmar EVO5 700 HRV air exchanger, high-performing but not connected. We installed a Venmar-compatible Wi-Fi module with their Control4 home automation system.
We also integrated air quality sensors in key rooms (living room, kids' bedrooms, kitchen) and programmed custom scenarios: for example, automatic maximum ventilation after a shower or a quiet night mode starting at 10 PM.
Today, the client controls their home ventilation system via their smartphone or wall-mounted home automation screen. The result: improved comfort, better air quality, and an 18% reduction in annual ventilation energy consumption.
Who should consider integrating a smart air exchanger?
-
Owners of new homes who want to take advantage of a smart HVAC system from day one.
-
Families with children or sensitive individuals (asthma, allergies), for enhanced control over indoor air quality.
-
Occupants of airtight or energy-efficient homes, where controlled ventilation is essential to prevent mold or humidity buildup.
-
Tech enthusiasts or smart home adopters, looking to centralize control of all mechanical systems in the home.
