What are your thoughts on the smart vent project (brobstoncreations) linked above? I think you will find a lot of what you were describing, but the one drawback I feel is that it’s 3d printed.
Thank you @nuetron - I saw that and it’s really impressive, the only problem is I don’t have a 3-d printer and have already spent probably over a grand on 11 Flair smart vents… Also I do like the robust metal construction as the vents get up to 150 degrees F (maybe the plastic would eventaully sag/warp?
In any event I think your project is really great and I did subscribe - I would use your code/integration but with the Flair hardware (I may have to replace the motor, however I am not sure) -
(Maybe it would have been smarter to spend that money on a 3d printer instead!)
Sorry, but I’m only just seeing this. I only have the one Keen vent (not an ENEV412C) and it works great via Zigbee with a Nortek USB controller. I wish I could be more help.
NP, thank you for your efforts. My thinking is the next best thing is to hijack off of some DIY work that has been published for blinds, as the movement is nearly the same -
