Design and function
The unit consists of a telescopic air duct with adjustable length, a ventilation unit and an external ventilation hood. The pre-filter and ceramic energy regenerator are located inside the inner duct. The regenerator is equipped with a pull cord that makes it easy to remove for cleaning.
The indoor unit is attached magnetically to the mounting plate – no screw fastening of the unit itself is required. This makes it easy to remove the indoor unit for maintenance and cleaning.
Operating modes
- Supply air mode: The fan runs continuously and brings in fresh air from inside. When pairing two units, one runs in supply air and the other in exhaust air.
- Extraction mode: The fan runs continuously and extracts used indoor air.
- Regeneration mode (heat recovery): The unit automatically switches between supply air and extract air every 75 seconds. Warm indoor air heats the ceramic regenerator, which then transfers the heat to cold fresh air from outside. Heat recovery up to 97%.
Installation guide
Installation and connection should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Step 1 – Drill the hole in the wall
Drill a Ø120 mm round hole horizontally through the entire wall with a 2–3° outward slope . For best performance, we recommend at least 15 cm clearance from the outer edge of the indoor unit to the wall or ceiling.
Tip! Use a core drill, or a drill with a hole saw and extension.
Step 2 – Attach the pipe to the wall
Push the PVC pipe into the hole and adjust the length to the thickness of the wall. Use construction foam, acrylic or glue to attach the pipe evenly so that it is flush with the interior wall. If you have a wooden or plaster wall, you should seal it extra well around the pipe. Let the fixing material dry completely before continuing.
Step 3 – Install the outer valve cover
Remove the valve cover and dismantle it. Place the base on the outside against the wall so that the arrow on the base points downwards. Mark the 4 fixing points, drill holes and secure the base with plugs and screws. Click the cover into place by aligning the locking hooks with the grooves in the base – the arrow on the cover should point downwards.
Step 4 – Install the mounting plate
Use a spirit level to ensure that the mounting plate is hanging straight. Note that the small plastic block on the metal plate should sit over the round hole. Align the mounting plate with the hole and secure it with screws and wall plugs.
Step 5 – Customize and install the kernel
Thread the core loosely into the mounting plate, and insert the core and mounting plate into the pipe as one unit. The connection plugs should face downwards . Wait to connect the core to the mounting plate until everything is seated correctly.
Important! Pull the core out slightly and make sure it is not tight against the mounting plate. The core must be removed for maintenance and must be loose.
Step 6 – Connect the indoor unit to the core
Hold the indoor unit in place while connecting the connectors.
Tip! Rotate the indoor unit clockwise a few times so that the wires twist slightly. This will help them stay in place.
Step 7 – Place the wires in the groove
Make sure that all wires are properly inserted into the groove on the indoor unit and that they do not protrude to the outside. Protruding wires may create a gap between the indoor unit and the mounting plate.
Step 8 – Attach the indoor unit to the mounting plate
Press the bottom of the indoor unit against the wall so that the wires do not fall out of the groove. Then press the top of the indoor unit against the magnets on the mounting plate. The indoor unit has two holes that pass over the magnets at the top of the plate - these hold the indoor unit securely in place. No screws are required.
After installation: Check that there is no visible gap between the indoor unit and the mounting plate. If there is, the wires are probably not installed correctly – take down the indoor unit, place the wires correctly in the groove and reinstall.
To achieve the best possible performance, the heat exchanger and air filter must be cleaned regularly. See the maintenance section.

Pairing of leader and follower devices
Multiple units can be connected in a leader/follower system. The leader unit is controlled via remote control or app, while the follower unit automatically synchronizes with the leader. The leader can only be connected to one follower.
Setting up the management unit
- Connect power to the device. In off state: Press and hold the MODE button for 5 seconds until the status light flashes blue slowly. The device is now set to the leader role.
Setting up a follower device
- Connect power to the device. In off state: Press and hold the MODE button for 5 seconds until the status light flashes green slowly. The device is now set to follower role.
- Both devices must be put into pairing mode within 1 minute and should be close to each other during the process.
- Successful pairing: The status light on both devices turns blue and stays on.
- Pairing failed: The status lights flash for 1 minute and then turn off automatically.
Reset pairing
In off state: Press and hold the FAN SPEED button for 5 seconds on the paired device until the status light flashes blue slowly. Repeat on the other device within 1 minute. Both devices will be reset to default with no role assigned.
How the system works
- Without role assignment, one remote control can control one or more devices simultaneously.
- After role assignment, only the leader unit responds to the remote control. The follower unit synchronizes with the leader.
- In regeneration mode, the follower unit runs in the opposite direction to the leader, for optimal air circulation. In other modes, both run in the same direction.
- Max. range between leader and follower: 15 meters (unobstructed line of sight). The signal can penetrate 180 mm thick brick walls.
WiFi setup and app
Download the Smart Life app from the App Store or Google Play. The app also supports control via Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
Pre-setup requirements: The router must use 2.4 GHz network (not 5 GHz). Bluetooth must be enabled on the mobile phone, and the device and the phone must be within the same WiFi coverage.
- Download Smart Life from the App Store or Google Play.
- Connect your mobile phone to WiFi (2.4 GHz) and turn on Bluetooth.
- With the device in off state: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds until the status light flashes red slowly. The device is now in WiFi setup mode.
- Open the Smart Life app, log in and tap the + sign in the top right. Select "Add Device".
- The app automatically finds the device when Bluetooth is enabled and the device is in the correct mode.
- Select your home network's WiFi name in the app – it must match the network your phone is connected to – and enter the WiFi password.
- After successful connection, you can find the device in the overview on the home screen of the Smart Life app.
App features
- On/off control and mode selection
- Fan speed and Boost mode
- LED light on/off
- Ionization on/off (when ionizer is connected)
- 12-hour timer control
- CO₂ control: When a CO₂ sensor is connected, you can set a limit value from 400 to 2000 ppm. If the indoor CO₂ concentration exceeds the limit in regeneration mode, the supply air mode is automatically activated to supply fresh air. The unit returns to the previous mode when the CO₂ level falls below the set limit.
- Humidity control (optional): Set humidity limit between 40-95%. In regeneration mode, the exhaust mode is automatically activated when the humidity exceeds the limit, and the unit returns to the previous mode when the humidity drops 5 percentage points below the set limit.
- Free cooling: When the outdoor temperature is comfortable, the unit can operate in pure supply air mode without heat recovery. Adjustable temperature limit: 10–29 °C.
- Real-time display of CO₂ level and outdoor temperature (when the unit is in supply air or regeneration mode)
- Filter alarm and editable device name
Reset WiFi
Open the Smart Life app, press and hold the device you want to disconnect and select "Remove device" at the bottom of the screen. Confirm to disconnect WiFi.
Maintenance and cleaning
Always disconnect the power before maintenance. Disconnect the connection wires between the indoor unit and the inner duct, and take down the indoor unit and the inner duct from the wall separately.
Note: The ceramic energy regenerator is fragile – pull it out carefully to avoid damage.
