Smart home for Zehnder ventilation systems: What Zehnder products are compatible? And which interfaces can be used with which smart home solutions?
Simplified control of the system via an app to a fully automated smart home solution (through integration with the building management system).
The remote control via an app on a smartphone or tablet offers the flexibility to make adjustments at any time and from any location.
The connected system reminds you when it is time to change the air filters. Upcoming maintenance dates or faults are also reported. Even a specialist can rectify certain faults or adjust settings by remote control.
Interfaces - small devices with the appropriate connections to the network - are required to link Zehnder devices and various smart home solutions.
Data converter
The Zehnder interfaces have many different connection options that can communicate with different building management systems. The Zehnder interfaces convert the data from the Zehnder devices and transmit them to the corresponding smart home solution.

The Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C connects the Zehnder ventilation unit to the building management system via the KNX protocol.
At present, Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C can only be used for the Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation unit.
The Zehnder ComfoConnect PRO is the link between Zehnder devices and smart home solutions.
It regulates the data exchange between the zehndeer Comfonet interfaces and various networking options.
Within the local network of a home, the ventilation unit can be set and controlled via an app on a smartphone or tablet.
The ventilation unit is integrated into the router of the local network via a LAN or Wi-Fi connection.
The communication protocols regulate the exchange between the devices (via cloud, internet or home automation).
Registered ventilation units within the Zehnder Cloud can be conveniently controlled and monitored via the Internet. In addition, various information can be viewed in the dashboard and settings can be adjusted.
Zehnder products can already be integrated with some manuafactors of home automation / building management systems.
The following Zehnder ventilation units can be connected using the most common protocols*:
Zehnder ComfoAir Flex.
These smart home providers have already programmed and integrated Zehnder products.

The Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C is used exclusively for combining the Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation unit and the KNX building management system. The Zehnder ComfoConnect PRO device is a Modbus and Internet interface that has more options (apart from KNX).
Building management system is the umbrella term for various communication protocols with which devices can interact. Smart home is a subdivision of this, which is often associated with the control by the resident of several devices in the house via an app / touch screen.
Yes. One interface per Zehnder ventilation unit is always required, regardless of whether it is Zehnder ComfoConnect PRO or Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C.
Yes, we have listed two well-known manufacturers here. Other manufacturers are possible, it depends specifically on the required protocol (e.g., Modbus RTU).
Yes. The Zehnder ComfoConnect PRO and ComfoConnect LAN C interface can be used to connect the ventilation unit to the router via a LAN connection and therefore to the app via the Internet. The ventilation unit can be controlled remotely via an app.
