Entities
Climate
The integration will create a climate entity for each air conditioning system found and for each zone that is temperature-controlled.
Cover
The integration will create a cover entity for each zone that is not temperature controlled, allowing you to adjust the opening level manually from 0% to 100% in 5% increments.
Sensor
The integration will create sensor entities for a variety of aspects:
- The air filter sensor shows if it needs to be replaced.
- Two sensor entities will be created for the ‘time to on’ and ‘time to off’ features. Use the
advantage_air.set_time_to
service to change these. - Each zone that is temperature-controlled will have a sensor to show the temperature (disabled by default), and how open the damper is.
- Each zone with a wireless temperature or motion sensor will have a sensor that reports its wireless RSSI.
Binary Sensor
The advantage_air
binary sensor platform will create a binary sensor for each zone that has a motion sensor.
Switch
The advantage_air
switch platform will create a switch entity to toggle fresh air mode, if it is supported.

The advantage_air
select platform allows you to change the zone used for the “MyZone” feature.

update platform shows if the controller app requires an update.
