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

Pairs to the device smoothly. Very hard to understand what setting does what. No clarity about what overrides what. Once you know what everything does it works well. But that took me a few hours of trial and error. Example: moisture sensor can be set to low/mid/high detection, but there is no explanation for what that means. Does low detection mean it detects low levels of moisture? Does low detection mean the detection strength is low (high humidity)? What do those levels mean in %?

Not great. Connects fine with long range, but I would like some features for the standard on/off set up. I would like to set the fan to run a specific time on the app, then turn off. Also, an adjustment of the airing function time other than every 12 hours. Plus, a short description of the functions would be helpful when selected. Preferably a select button to confirm settings as well.

This app point blank does not work. It fails to connect to my MEV multivent HX unit even though the unit appears in my bluetooth discoverable devices. I have tried reinstalling, restarting, turning bluetooth off and on. It still will not connect with this app, neither on my android phone or on my work iphone. I have a very expensive uncontrollable fan. Useless.
