I’m so glad you have created this integration, I have been now waiting two months for it to be included into the official HA release but now I just can’t wait anymore. Could you help me by sharing instructions how to install this integration from GitHub?
I’m planning on finding a way to run it myself from the source code directly. Unfortunately I don’t know of an easy way to run it with stock HAss (which is my current setup using RPi image). I might have some time next weekend to investigate that and I can let you know what I come up with.
Ventilation is the last item to have integrated in my home and it’s unfortunate that HASS core team is overloaded with work and cannot review/merge this integration.
With the amount of work HA core team has, review of this PR wasn’t a priority. I’m not proficient in HA development enough to take several weeks break between iterations to get this done (I need to relearn the HA development process pretty much from scratch every time I look at it). I wish HA would have a native way of adding custom integrations without having to go through their rigorous review process and AFAIK hacks is not so easy to use by non-dev users (please correct me if I misunderstood it).
With all of that in mind, I’m evaluating other platforms where I can get my home automation done (incl. flexit integration) and that’s where my focus is ATM.
After discussing with @lellky a bit, we will attempt again to get the integration merged. Before that happens we need time to fix some stuff and I’ll reopen the pull request.
This is great @piotrbulinski I’m looking forward to using your integration.
I’m currently using this HACS integration GitHub - sindrebroch/ha-flexit. It’s working well, but it’s cloud based and with limiting API restrictions.
and after a short while it should become available at http://localhost:8123
Then go to Settings → Devices & Service → + Add Integration → (search for) Flexit
Sorry for simple question. I run HA in VM. when I use SSH plug-in it’s not allow me to install. permission deny. maybe you can refer me, how I can get full access?
I’m afraid it’s too daunting for me to install the integration straight from Github to my working setup. So I probably have to wait until it’s officially released. One question though: does the integration support changing the fan speeds? I need this for fine tuning them as the filters get clogged and the pressure difference between inside and outside the house starts decreasing causing all kinds of problems. It would be great to adjust the fans based on the pressure difference (measured with separate sensor).
Did you try “sudo”? Perhaps there is some HA power user here who could assist - I’m running a stock HA on raspberry Pi and didn’t even try to run this integration there. I tested it only on my PC.
