Puck also works with Central Heating and Cooling systems as a remote temperature and occupancy sensor. For these systems, Puck integrates with popular Smart Thermostats and our Smart Vents to deliver precise control and comfort using as little energy as possible.

In order to get accurate temperature readings from your Puck it is best to avoid placing it directly under windows, on exterior walls or directly next to fans/vents etc. Ideally it is wall mounted just behind a couch, on a nightstand, on your desk, etc. The closer it is to where you work, sleep or hang out the better it will keep you comfortable. Minisplit, Window ACs and other IR Controlled Devices Flair Pucks have a number of IR LEDs for controlling Minisplits, Window and Wall ACs, Portables as well as other devices like TVs, Stereos etc. If you are using Pucks to control IR devices ensure that there is line-of-sight between the Pucks’ front or side faces and the device. Sometimes IR reflection is good enough such that a direct line of sight is not needed but you will need to test this on a per device/room basis. Pro Tip: Nobody likes power cables. If installing multiple Pucks, it’s worth taking into consideration which Puck should be the gateway as some places are easier to hide cables than others. We recommend wall mounting a Gateway just behind a couch or nightstand. 12

14 Flair has two primary modes, Automatic and Manual which can be selected in Home Settings → System Mode. Manual Mode Allows you to adjust the open/closedness of your Smart Vents or manually change Air Conditioner/Heater settings. Automatic Mode Flair maintains temperatures so that you don’t need to worry about opening and closing vents or manually making changes to your Air Conditioner/Heater. If your system is in Automatic Mode, you have additional options that relate to how Flair determines if you are Home or Away, temperature set points and how to behave when you are away or heading home.

15 The main setpoint options are Evenness, Evenness (Active Rooms), and Defer to Rooms. Evenness Maintains a consistent setpoint across all rooms with Flair equipment. Evenness (Active Rooms) Maintains a consistent setpoint across all rooms that are deemed ‘active’. Rooms are designated active if either a user with our app on their phone is near a Puck, a third party sensor determines a user is in a room, a setpoint is adjusted on the Puck or the room is designated active via the slider on the room tile (app main screen) menu. Defer to Rooms Allows you to set settings on a room level. A user may either adjust a Puck, adjust the dial on a room tile, or adjust the ‘My Temperature’ slide on the room tile menu to set a specific room-user preference.

16 While away, you can have Flair maintain temperatures across the whole home, specific rooms or just make sure everything is off. Off Only Ensures that everything is off while you are away. Smart Away Allows you to specify upper and lower bounds for temperature and humidity and will apply this to every room with Flair equipment. Defer to Rooms Allows you to specify temperature and humidity ranges for each room individually. More information is available at https://flair.co/support.
