Devices
Each Flair mini-split, puck, room, structure, and vent is represented as a device in Home Assistant. Within each device are several entities described below.
Structure
Each structure has the following entities:
| Entity | Entity Type | Additional Comments |
|---|---|---|
Active Schedule |
Select |
Schedules are only available if the Flair System Mode is set to "Auto". All schedules created within the Flair app will appear here. To turn off a schedule, select "No Schedule". Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |
Clear home/away hold |
Button |
If you have a hold duration other than "Until next scheduled event", setting the home/away mode manually will result in your setting being held for the defined period of time. Pressing this button will remove the hold. Note: Pressing this button will only remove the time period hold, but will keep the home/away mode set to whatever you switched it to. In order to remove the hold and revert back to the original home/away mode, please use the "Reverse home/away hold" button. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |

Lock IR device modes |
Switch |
Turning this on will keep heat/cool mode of all IR devices in your Home in sync. It is recommended for Mini-Split systems that share a common outdoor unit, also known as multi-zone systems. This entity will only be available if you have any IR devices associated with your account. |
Reverse home/away hold |
Button |
Pressing this button removes the current hold for home/away mode and reverts the mode back. For example: If you set your home to away mode, pressing this button sets the mode back to home. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |

Away Mode |
Select |
Please read Flair's documentation regarding Away Settings. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |

Note About Pucks
Flair statement regarding Puck Light Level sensor:
It is not calibrated. The sensor itself, if the nominal reference is 1, can range from 0.3 to 1.6. This also doesn't take into account the mechanical loss in the Puck. In short, this is not an accurate lux sensor.
Vent
In order to control vents that are in Flair Rooms that have a temperature sensor, the System setting in the Flair app needs to be set to Manual (see image above). If you have it set to Auto, you will still be able to control your vents, however, eventually Flair will override your changes. This mode can also be set using a Flair Structure's System Mode select entity within Home Assistant.
Any vents in Flair Rooms that don't report temperature can be controlled regardless of current mode set.
Each Vent has the following entities:
| Entity | Entity Type | Additional Comments |
|---|---|---|
Vent |
Cover |
Has a state of either open or closed. If your vent is either 50 or 100 percent open, the state will be open. If your vent is 0 percent open, the state will be closed. You can manually open the vent halfway (50 percent) by either changing the tilt position to 50 via the UI or by using the service cover.set_cover_tilt_position and setting tilt position to 50. Note: Although you can move the slider to any value between 0-100, any tilt position other than 0 or 100 will be interpreted as 50 - this is a Flair vent limitation as it doesn't support any other position aside from 0, 50, or 100. |

Room
Each Room has the following entities:
| Entity | Entity Type | Additional Comments |
|---|---|---|
Activity Status |
Select |
Rooms can be set to Active or Inactive. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |
Clear hold |
Button |
Clears the current temperature set point change hold time and reverts back to the original set point. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |
Room |
Climate |
Temperature set points can be changed on a room by room basis. Changing HVAC mode for a room propagates that change to all rooms as the HVAC mode is set at the Structure level. Note: By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |
Temperature holding until |
Sensor |
If you have the default hold duration set to anything other than "Until next scheduled event", this entity will show you how much time is left until the manual temperature hold expires. Note: This entity is only available if there is a currently active hold for the room. By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |
Additional Notes
Changing the temperature for a room climate entity will change the set temperature of the corresponding room. This change will remain for until next scheduled event, 3h, 8h, 24h, or forever- this depends on the setting in the Flair app under Home Settings > System Settings > Default Hold Duration. This can also be changed using the "Default hold duration" entity in Home Assistant.

Only available if structure mode is set to manual |
To fully control your unit, the associated Flair structure needs to be in
Manual Mode.If your structure is set to
Auto Mode: you will only be able to controlFan speedandSwing(if available for your unit). In addition, mini split set points are controlled by rooms if a Flair structure is set toAuto Mode. Changing the temperature of this climate entity will result in changing the room set point when inAuto Mode. You also cannot change the mode as this is controlled at the Structure level when in auto mode.If your structure is set to
Manual Mode: You can only change the temp, mode, fan speed, and swing when your unit is powered on. If your structure is in manual mode, you can turn your mini split on/off by utilizing theHVAC powerswitch entity.
