Puck Overview
Puck works with most IR controlled heating and cooling devices
including Minisplits, Window ACs and Portables.
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.
There are two principle modes for Puck: Gateway or Sensor Mode

Puck Placement
Interior Walls, Night Stands, Coffee Tables, Shelves
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.

Flair App Overview
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.

Flair App - Settings when 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.

Flair Software - Settings when Away
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.
