Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!

I thought its more than 1C since 1981

Im usually updating containers using portainer:

1. Stop container
2. Recreate (Re-pull image checked)
3. Done

But some containers give error, so I have to:

1. Delete container
2. Redeploy the stack
3. Done

It might be useless for your problem, but posting this just in case. For the same reason Ill try dockge and see if updates are easier

I guess you can add attributes to door sensors. Attribute “visible” with if statement that says NO if default open doors are opened or if default closed doors are closed. Then list all door sensors and exclude these with attribute NO.

I never tried this, I dont even have door sensor, but that came to my mind. There might be better solution

Thats true, but I would also add a manual rocker switch for that case. Better option would be custom electronics (like arduino or simmilar) that trigers without homeassistant, but thats probably too complex for my knowledge…maybe in the future, but first I need to find a working solution

Ah I see what you mean. It would be cheaper if I dont need a 2nd device, but our hood has 3 position switch for different speeds. Its probably still posible to wire it somehow, but I dont know is it worth to mess around with the wiring and avoid warranty while 20€ device can make it more simple

Yeah, I have this one right now

It stopps the smell 90%, so still stinks ater long cooking. I believe it goes trought tiny holes around the hinge. As I mentioned in previous post, I also added filter and still sucks.

Most motorized dampers I found are also spring loaded in closed position, but motors are DC 12V or 5V which seems to be more complex to implement than 220V one from ebay.

Thx

Damper from the link require both channels, one for opening and another one to close it. I could use another single channel shelly for the hood tho.

Wow links are super usefull, thank you a lot!Damper seems like it could seal way better than a flap, I think Ill contact Fantech

Thank you

I would go around that hinge with a silicone cartridge, trying to close these tiny gaps - but use it sparingly, in order not to block the motion.

I dont understand how can I do this without blocking the motion?

look around it’s outside

Rubber seal (on filter side), silicone and duckt tape is what I used to exclude that. There is also no smell in the cabinet so Im quite sure its coming from the hood

It is nearly airtight IMO and its night and day difference with/without flap. It is easy to inspect how it moves when I remove filters from filter box. Im not excluding anything here tbh

It is insane and hard to believe, but its easy to guess what meal my neighbour is preparing while it looks like there is no flow at all. After long cooking it becomes annoying especially with onnion or fish…

The other appartment installed 2 flaps with no difference… In our building I think all 3rd floor kitchens are connected to 1st floor, also 2nd to 4th floor are connected. 10 appartments on each floor means up to 40 appartments with the same issue. They have installed flaps to anyone who complained and no one is happy with results afaik.

I replaced mine with (probably) better build quality one, but there might exist even better flaps. Do you know any source in Europe for the best quality flaps. We wouldnt mind spending much more money if that can help

Thank you, Ill check it out

Yeah, I have filter box and back preassure flap, but there might be something better that Im not aware off.

From let to right: filter box, flap, flexible tube

I also fitted carbon and heppa filter in the box

Not the best option, but still doable. Hooking into neighbours hood could be possible if I implement the same thing on both hoods since they want to solve the problem more than us. Its like 7m distance and I could guide the cable trough the tube.

TBH Id live to learn how to fix back flow valve or buy better one if it exists. The thing is, all valves simmilar to mine are not made to stop smell afaik. And hood is not strong enough for water tight valves, at least others told me that

Please explain more, both answers sound usefull, but not sure exactly what you mean. What kind of damper? Do you have example pic or link?

I could install this kind of fan

I was thinking about this, but feels confusing how to sync it with extractor fan. Not sure if it should be on or off while our hood is running, and would it reduce air flow too much. I dont think temp sensor is optimal for this, but I might be wrong. Some guys mentioned air mass and air quaility sensors which feels better I think

Which one do you have? Sounds promissing

I should test if air temperature is high enough after 5-6 m of vertical travel. If you know any device that can do that please link. Unless you are talking about full DIY?

The simple way is to use a fan or blower limit switch

Is this temperature controlled? Im not sure if temperature would be best since appartment is 2 floors below me and air might cool down? I might be wrong.

Mass airflow sensor sounds like it should work. Ill research more
