  1. Hoi Flamingo, dit lijkt mij een leuk traject 🙂
    Toch nog een vraagje. In de keuken heb ik een unit zitten die CO2 meet. En in de badkamer een die vocht meet. Kan ik deze nog steeds gebruiken? Gr. Bart

        1. Hey Rogier,

          Unfortunately the original Duco remotes are not supported. You can use any other button that is HA compatible though 🙂

          Kind regards

  2. Hello,

    I want to order this module for My ORCON MVS 15 ventilation system.
    is this gonna work?
    I now also have a wired control of the Orcon in the living room. Will this also continue to work?

    1. Hey Farael,

      All Wireless original devices are not supporte.You need to use remotes/switches/buttons that are connected to HA.

      Kind regards
