A link with the Brink Home app or directly to the eBus integration of Brink would be very cool. You can then automatically switch the wtw off and on, take actions based on the internal measurements, etc.
I have the eBus integration and the app working and of course I am willing to cooperate.
I also have a Brink WTW unit at home and running Homeassitant. Can you give a handout how you made the connection with homeassistant.
Hi Frank, I bought the eBus connection so I can use the IOS App. There is no integration and I hope someone will see the benefit of it and develops it.
No integration yet for the Brink Renovent Excellent via eBus?
I wish someone would create it, but no it does not exist.
I’d love an integration too.
I’ve got Brink’s eModule that I’d like to communicate with directly on the local LAN, but I’ve yet to understand what kind of API it exposes (locally). The Brink Home (iOS) app can connect to it on the LAN without having to go the roundtrip to the online Brink Portal… so it seems doable.
The only thing I’ve managed to do so far is looking at the overall traffic between my iOS device (when it’s running the Brink app) and the eModule itself. IIRC, port 9092 was the port that was opened on the eModule.
I came across this thread when trying to get my Brink Flair connected to home assistant, and went a different route to ebus: https://flows.nodered.org/flow/4e93b2dc8ff6acb5dbbcd48b1df92224
Works really well, though not sure if the renovent also has the default Modbus port that the flair does?
I created integration only for ventilation systems brink renovent with ebus Rbink eModule. It is using brink home portal, so just needs to login.
You could try it with Hacs.
It took me a while to decouple brink-home application, but it looks like for my case it works, so please tell me if something will not work for you.
Integration now can change mode and ventilation speed. If you need more please write issues or contribute
Hello Lukas,
a dumb question. I have copied repository to custom_components (as I could not find it in HACS), restarted HA… what’s next? Could not find anything related to Brink in HA
Try cleaning cache, it should work with UI integration
looking long time a solution for an integration for brink renovent excellent 400. Will this just now work for this type WTW?
Hi @samuolis, I just installed the 400 unit and manually added your code to HA. It connected to Brink Home, but only two entities come back - Ventilation power (Manual, Auto, etc) and Status Filtermeldung (0,1).
I was hoping a lot more entities will appear, which I guess you get. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.
Yes there is a lot of enitites in brink API, but API is not documented and results are not in English, so I do not have time to investigate and understand it, I implemented 2 entities that was supported for change for my unit Excellent 180. If I would get official documentation somewhere, I asked Brink, but they do not have it.
If there would be better API I would really help to improve this 
Hi all,
I installed the addon in * /config/custom_components/brink_home en restarted HA, cleared cache etc.
I don’t see eny entities or integrations refferring to brink home?
Do i need to add something to my configuration.yaml or someting else?
Hi all - I have a Brink renovent excellent 400 and am trying to set up to connect to brink cloud with a plan for HA later.
I’m trying to set up the e-module but despite logging in, wired internet its saying offline in my online account.
I’ve got brink-home.com as IP address
Is anybody able to tell me the port for the brink-home.com acces? or post their settings please?
I don’t know if this will be useful to someone, but apparently the RENOVENT EXCELLENT 300/400 are essentially the same heat recuperator to the WOLF EXCELLENT 300/400.
Also, seems that someone has created a definition file in a CSV for RENOVENT EXCELLENT 300/400 in GitHub - dstrigl/ebusd-config-brink-renovent-excellent-300: ebusd-configuration for the Brink Renovent Excellent 300 to make ebusd understand the unit.
I am yet to try it, I hope to do so in the next days, but with a usb->ebus adapter it might be possible to integrate this kind of ventilation units in home assistant using the ebusd addon and two wires, without any online platform.
Hello,
I’m looking for brink-home solution. I’m not able to see your dev in HACS on homeassistant.
I’m a newbee in community, i probably miss something.
Thank you for your help and your sharing !
Try assing github link as custom repository to hacs
Hello,
I try to copy manually folder in “custom_components” folder → No “Brink” menu appear.
I add “GitHub - samuolis/brink: Brink-home ebus emodule home assistant integration” in custom repository as “integration”. I was able to see it and download your tool directly from HA interface. However, I have same results without any “brink” menu.
Same after restart of HA. I also try to clear my internet browser cache.
Seems not working on my side.
Edit 2023/02/07: I try again without success.
If Somone have an Idea!
Thanks
I forgot to mention this before, but I did try the configuration in GitHub - dstrigl/ebusd-config-brink-renovent-excellent-300: ebusd-configuration for the Brink Renovent Excellent 300 for my Wolf CWL300 and it worked, I have had it integrated in home assistant for months without any issue.
The machine itself has a few quirks, particularly that if you set the fan speed to any speed, it will go back to the default speed after a couple minutes unless you keep setting it to the speed you want periodically (maybe every 30 seconds). That is, apparently, by design. It was easy to automate with node-red and a timer.
