| Flair smart vents and pucks | Works | Rock solid HA integrationSaved copyFlair - eInk thermostats pucks that can be USB powered and control the smart vents. Rock solid HA integration. Ring2MQTTT - stream ring cameras live in HA and control Ring alarm/locks Lutron - very high spousal approval factor (loves buttons); even 3D printed a case for 4 lutron Picos to have a "master remote" on the couch. And those switches somehow never drop connection. Bonus: (again for the high spousal approval factor) Homeplate Docker to feed the home Assistant Monthly Calendar to the Inkplate eInk display (that's between our master bathroom mirrors).

| Flair puck | Partly works Cloud | Pucks have no off mode; power is a separate settingSaved copyDescription Flair pucks do not support an "off" mode. Instead they have a sperate setting for power: > mode: "Heat", "Cool", "Fan", "Dry" or "Auto", depending on availability > power: the last power state set by Flair "On" or "Off" Home Assistant does support an "off" mode, which when set silently did nothing (except log an error if you knew to look for it). This PR maps the HA "off" mode to Flair's "off" power setting, so the two can play nicely. ### Testing I performed these modifications locally on my HA install. I verified that I could set the off `mode` and the Flair puck would go off. I … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #59 · 2023-06 | |
| Flair smart vent | Partly works Cloud | Vent changes only stick when the vent is in manual mode in the Flair appSaved copySo, this idea has been floated around by many several times, but it isn't possible to code directly into the integration at this moment. Flair's vents have a limited amount of temperature sensors that they currently work with. There is simply no way to force Flair Vents to use temperature sensors that aren't supported - the API doesn't have this ability which this Flair integration uses. At this moment, the only way to get Flair Vents to use unsupported sensors (but have been integrated into home assistant) is to set the vents into manual mode and then create automations in Home Assistant to … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #9 · 2021-10 | |
| Flair HVAC | Not working | Broken in Home Operation mode selector missing in Home app | Shows correctly in HA; mode selector absent via HomeKitSaved copyThe problem HomeKit linked Flair HVAC devices aren't showing the selector to change operation modes). Opening this issue against HA core because, based on my initial exploring, the Flair integration appears to showing up correctly in HA (but not HomeKit via the core HA HomeKit integration). Can you first help me verify it's indeed an HA core integration issue and not a Flair integration issue?
