Canaan Avalon Q in Home Assistant

The Avalon Q is a higher-performance bitcoin miner suitable for larger heating applications, producing ~5,630 BTU/hr at full power.

Before You Start

Two steps before adding this miner to Home Assistant:

Set up your miner with the Avalon Home App - Configure WiFi or ethernet and get your miner’s IP address. Download from Canaan.
Install the Exergy Canaan integration - Follow the Canaan Avalon Home Integration guide to install via HACS and add your miner.

Once both are complete, your Avalon Q will appear in Home Assistant with the sensors and controls below.

Avalon Q in Home Assistant

Heating Capacity

The Avalon Q produces approximately 5,630 BTU/hr at full power, comparable to a large space heater or small HVAC system.

Suitable for:

Large room heating (400-800 sq ft)
Basement or garage heating
HVAC duct integration

Considerations:

Requires 15A dedicated circuit
Higher noise level than Mini 3
Significant heat output

HVAC Integration

The Avalon Q is well-suited for integration with existing HVAC systems:

Output can be ducted into supply plenum
Acts as “Stage 1” heating with fossil fuel as “Stage 2”
Requires proper airflow management

See HVAC Integrated Thermostat Control for automation setup and HVAC Dashboard for a matching interface.
