About this app

Vent-Axia Connect - Functions and settings for Lo-Carbon Svara® and Sentinel Kinetic Advance® via app.

Svara® App Control
Each Vent-Axia Svara® contains a unique code, which is required to pair the fan with the app. Enter or scan the code using the app’s setup wizard. The code may be found on the back of the product manual or on the arm of the pull out motor hub.
When the fan is supplied, it is pre-set to be an automatic bathroom fan with constant trickle flow of 30m³/h and humidity / light detectors which activate to a boost flow of up to 95m³/h.
The app control via Bluetooth gives you the functionality of five fans in one. Via this app, you can set up Svara® for various functions and environments. You can easily set Svara® to function as an intermittent fan which is humidity or light activated. Via the app you can also use a simple calendar function where you can activate various functions depending on weekdays or weekends, such as purge or silent running hours. Fault indication: A red LED on the fan indicates power failure when the calendar function has been activated. This is easily recovered by the opening the app and re-synchronising with the fan.

Sentinel Kinetic Advance® App Control
The Sentinel Kinetic Advance® WiFi controller (supplied as standard with SX model) must first linked with the app before it can be used. The new device wizard guides the user through this process, involving connecting to the product’s WiFi hot-spot, then connecting securely by scanning the QR code (or entering the security key manually), as printed on the WiFi controller.
Once connected, there is the possibility to boost the Advance for a period of 15/30/45/60 minutes, configure scheduled modes, silent hours and summer bypass operation, monitor the temperatures and heat recovered by the unit and check the status of filter-change and service count-down timers.
In commissioner mode (protected behind the same PIN as the product’s touchscreen controller), the app comes into its own by allowing the preset flows to be configured, without having to return to the installed unit. This allows flows at the diffuser to be adjusted and measured in real-time.

Ratings and reviews

This App has stopped working completely. When I try and connect the app crashes completely,!?!? Before this the app was working "ok" for a while, however it would randomly disconnect. Connecting initially usually does not work first time. These are annoying problems as u don't know if settings are being saved as it randomly disconnects. How it does not work at all and the control unit is NOT intuitive....sigh

I can only speak for the svara fan & this app. It connects fine via Bluetooth only (shame) and the codes on the fans. The enables some basic control of air cycling quiet times, sensor response speeds etc. All of which is excellent, and the svara is incredibly quiet already so very pleased. This is not however very clever. There is no layering of logic and no without being local, no alerts or overrides. Shame good, not perfect.

App stopped working. Trying to reconnect the Kinetic unit. Entering the security code - it suggests the name of the zone I picked before. When I hit ok it either returns to product selection page or crashes. Device never gets added.
