ᐅ Controlled ventilation system + fireplace + kitchen exhaust – does this work?

Hello everyone,

who has experience with the combination of a centralized mechanical ventilation system, a fireplace, and an exhaust hood for the kitchen?

Is that generally possible?

Currently, we have an exhaust hood and a fireplace, and we only needed to install a contact switch on the window so that the exhaust hood only operates when the window is tilted open.

What additional measures would be required with a mechanical ventilation system?

Ok, that sounds manageable. I won’t be using KNX either. So, I’m interested in simple alternatives. I guess I’ll need to research Homematic.

If you haven’t settled on a system yet, take a look at ioBroker first. You can integrate and link almost anything there. Additionally, ioBroker allows you to create programs with if, then, else if, and so on.

So it’s a very powerful tool. Just keep in mind that most of it is wireless-based, so you should be aware of the disadvantages that come with that.

In our case, the fresh air supply for the fireplace comes from the basement.

It all sounds good, but despite our relatively young age, we are absolutely not tech-savvy at all..

For us, it needs to be set up in a way that I don’t have to connect, link, or control anything myself 😀

Here, nothing is linked or connected; everything is analog and low-tech 🙂 We’re not interested in having so much technology in the house… after all, it all has to be maintained continuously.

Is all the integration unnecessary if I get fresh air from outside?

How exactly is the fresh air supply designed, like in a ventilation system?
