homebridge-save-connect

⚠️ Experimental Plugin
This plugin is a proof-of-concept to explore integration of Systemair SAVE CONNECT ventilation devices into Homebridge and Apple Home.

Its current main purpose is to allow triggering short-term ventilation ("Refresh" user mode) — for example, after detecting heavy steam buildup in a bathroom or shower room.

More features may be added in the future.

A Homebridge plugin to integrate SAVE CONNECT devices into HomeKit.

This plugin automatically discovers SAVE CONNECT devices on the local network using DNS Service Discovery (Bonjour / mDNS).

Features

• Automatic discovery of SAVE CONNECT devices (no manual configuration required)
• Real-time monitoring of the ventilation system's current user mode (Auto, Crowded,Refresh)
• HomeKit switch to trigger short-term ventilation (Switch to user mode "Refresh" for 5 minutes)
• HomeKit switch to trigger mid-term ventilation (Switch to user mode "Crowded" for 1 hour)
• Siri voice control supported
• Regular state synchronization with the device (Every 30 seconds)

Installation

Install through Homebridge Config UI X, or manually:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-save-connect

Configuration

The IP address of the SAVE CONNECT device is discovered automatically on the local network.

You need to have the following section in your Homebridge config file:

{
    "bridge": {
        ...
    },
    "accessories": [],
    "platforms": [
        {
            ...
        },
        {
            "platform": "SaveConnectPlatform"
        }
    ]
}

Supported ventilation systems

This plugin was developed for and tested for a Systemair SAVE VSR 300 ventilation system with a SAVE CONNECT module attached.
