Background:
I have Flair vents which all talk to a flair “puck” which talks to a cloud setup and there is an HA integration to talk to the cloud to try to copntrol the vents. It works well but is very slowly due to being cloud AND the company not being responsive to any changes in the way things work (they ave no interest in going local), and they actually state “within a minute” a vent would open when you tell it to open, even if you are just using their phone app.
Regarding other manufacturers, there is Keen which is local and works with HA - ( Smart Vent – Keen Home ) but some people say they are going out of business… All the buttons on their website to buy anything are disabled, and the support link is not working…
I found these as a start -
Raspberry PI PICO 2W: Smart Floor Vents to Save on Heating Bills!
I would love to hack my flair vents to make them local and thought I should start a thread here where people are working on this concept as DYI… to see what other videos/instructions/ideas are available that people can share here…
