Controls, Sensors & Interfaces

Equipped with the correct controls, sensors, and connectivity, a Zehnder ventilation system can be finely tuned to perfectly suit buildings and their occupants. Select the appropriate settings, either manually or automatically, to experience an energy-efficient, comfortable, and healthy indoor climate that's tailored specifically for your needs.

Intelligently connected ventilation systems

Our controls & switches allow Zehnder's range of ventilation units to be simply and effectively controlled to ensure optimal performance around the clock. These easy-to-use controls range from standard switches to fully integrated LCD displays featuring programmable timers and system status messages.

Zehnder's range of CO₂ sensors are designed to measure and optimise indoor air quality. They interact with the ventilation system to adjust ventilation based on CO₂ concentration in the living space. For independent living spaces, a separate sensor is recommended for each area.

Zehnder's connectivity solutions, including the Zehnder ComfoConnect, allows users to control ventilation system not only from the comfort of home, but also remotely. Internet connectivity enables any necessary software updates to be installed automatically, ensuring the system is kept up-to-date with the latest features.

Comfort

From simple system control using the app through to a fully automated smart home solution (through integration into the building management system).

Remote control

Control with an app on a smartphone or tablet - simple and convenient.

Maintenance notifications

The connected system reminds you when it is time to replace the air filters. Upcoming maintenance appointments or faults are also reported. It's even possible to have some faults rectified or settings changed remotely by a service technician.

Monitoring your well-being

Zehnder's range of CO₂ sensors are designed to measure and optimise indoor air quality. They interact with the ventilation system to adjust ventilation based on CO₂ concentration in the living space. For independent living spaces, a separate sensor is recommended for each area.

  • Easy-to-find and easy-to-apply instructions and documentation

  • Less intrusive status and error messages: red LED only in cases when CO2 level is very high AND the ventilation is at maximum speed

  • Conceived for easy mounting and demounting without damage to product or surroundings

  • Mountable in-wall or on-wall

  • Contemporary design which fits into common switch gear frames

  • Single button operation only: keeping the sensor as simple as possible, for effortless handling and maximum reliability

  • The adjustable brightness of the LEDs makes customization possible

Compatibility with smart homes

Zehnder's connectivity solutions, including the Zehnder ComfoConnect, allows users to control ventilation system not only from the comfort of home, but also remotely. Internet connectivity enables any necessary software updates to be installed automatically, ensuring the system is kept up-to-date with the latest features.

Zehnder interfaces have many different connection options that can communicate with different building automation systems - they convert the data from the Zehnder units and transmit it to the corresponding smart home solution.

Frequently asked questions about connectivity

The Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C is used exclusively for the combination of the Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation unit and the KNX building management system. The Zehnder ComfoConnect Pro unit is a Modbus and internet interface that offers more options (apart from KNX).

Building management system is the umbrella term for various communication protocols through which units can interact with each other. Smart home is a sub-area of this, which is often associated with the resident controlling several units in their house with an app/touchscreen.

Yes. One interface per Zehnder ventilation unit is always required, whether it is Zehnder ComfoConnect Pro or Zehnder ComfoConnect KNX C.

 

Yes, we have listed two well-known manufacturers in Switzerland here. There could be other manufacturers, but the details depend 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 with a LAN connection and thus connect to the app through the internet. The ventilation unit can be controlled remotely with the app.
