Decentralised Residential Ventilation with Home Assistant Integration
Perfect Integration into Your Smart Home
Our Ambientika smart and Ambientika Office solutions integrate seamlessly into your Home Assistant smart home system. Control and monitor your ventilation units conveniently via smartphone or tablet and benefit from comprehensive management of your entire home automation.
What is Home Assistant?
Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that allows users to control and automate all kinds of smart devices in their home. The platform provides a wide range of possibilities to unify different brands and technologies without being limited to a single manufacturer. Home Assistant is especially popular among tech enthusiasts due to its high flexibility and customisability.
Home Assistant supports a large variety of devices and services from well-known brands such as Philips Hue, Sonos, Google, Amazon, and Smartblinds. The platform can control devices via common protocols like Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread. Thanks to community-developed integrations and plugins, the list of compatible devices continues to grow.
Benefits of Home Assistant Integration
- Easy Operation: Control your ventilation systems through an intuitive interface.
- Automation: Create scenarios and automations to increase comfort and save energy.
- Compatibility: Connect your ventilation systems with other smart home devices for a complete smart living experience
Optimal Air Quality with Ambientika Smart and Ambientika Office
Ambientika Office decentralised ventilation system
699,00 €
Prices incl. VAT plus Shipping
This model is ideal for commercial properties such as meeting rooms, offices, shops, waiting rooms, hair salons, schools, doctors’ surgeries, etc. In contrast to the 160 mm models, this version has a higher airflow rate (100 m³/h), larger dimensions, a duct diameter of 200 mm and can also be installed as a flush-mounted version. The higher air volume causes slightly higher flow noise, which is why this model should not be used in living spaces.

Can be controlled with the Ambientika app
Also ideal for landlords, as the tenant does not have to be given control and operation can be monitored via the app.
The device can optionally be controlled with a remote control (not included). Even without an internet connection, the master device responds to the remote control after initial commissioning.
Ideal for landlords and hoteliers
Manage multiple apartments or hotel rooms from a single place: with our Local App you can monitor and control all devices directly from your PC — no subscription, no cloud account. Tenants and guests don't need any app — you stay in full control.
The control interface runs locally on your network — tenants and guests don't need to create accounts or install apps. GDPR compliant: no sharing of user data with third parties. Setup guide: github.com/ambientika-eu/ambientika-local-app
New: Intelligent ventilation system
SMART mode:
Based on the readings from four integrated sensors in the indoor unit, the ventilation system independently decides how best to ventilate the space in order to achieve perfect air quality in the living space. These readings are compared online with data from the nearest weather station.
- Internal temperature sensor
- Humidity sensor
- Light sensor
- VOC sensor (NB: this air quality sensor does not directly detect CO₂, but it does allow for a good approximation of carbon dioxide measurement through detection of volatile organic compounds)
Additional automatic functions in SMART mode:
When these three conditions occur at the same time:
Indoor temperature > 24 °C
Outdoor temperature > 20 °C
Outdoor T < indoor T
the ventilation system switches to “summer mode” and only works in FREE COOLING mode without heat recovery.
When it is dark in the room where the master unit is installed, the whisper-quiet night mode is automatically activated.
AWAY FROM HOME MODE
The unit is off; the humidity threshold is fixed at 60% and cannot be changed.
When the humidity value detected by the sensor exceeds 60%, the product switches to heat recovery mode at speed 1.
Light sensor is not active.

How Does a Decentralised Ventilation System Work?
A decentralised ventilation system with heat recovery is ideal for renovated buildings because it operates without central ductwork and provides fresh air individually to each room. It expels used air outdoors while using a ceramic heat exchanger to preheat incoming fresh air with up to 93% of the recovered heat. These units are compact, easy to retrofit, and perfect for rooms where traditional window ventilation is challenging.
Advantages of the Ambientika Series
- Easy installation
- Intuitive operation
- Automatic mode for optimal indoor climate
- Quiet operation
- Energy-efficient with low power consumption
- High heat recovery up to 93%
- Sleek, minimalist design
- Customisable with accessories (pollen filters, silencers, duct extensions)
- Cost-saving with rising energy prices
- 2-year warranty on products and accessories
