I'm in the process of an air sourced heat pump conversion and I'm looking for options to control units both from mobile and centrally.
I'm putting in Mitsubishi units. I know that have their own proprietary controls, but I have not heard good feedback on them.
I was looking at Flair Pucks, particularly since they can be battery operated. However, it seems that the dev ( @yracine66 ) of a set of drivers (paid) has shut down their website and closed related threads ( [DEPRECRATED] FLAIR DEVICES with new capabilities for building physical zones in your home and controlling your mini/window splits, portable heaters/coolers ) without comment. That seems unfortunate.
I also recently saw a product called Boldr (shopboldr.com ) but haven't really looked into it much. It's also wired.
Any thoughts or suggestions for controlling the Flair Pucks, which seem the best for my use case?
Not sure what happened to Yves, but there is another Flair integration:
Hey all,
I wanted to share a new free integration I've been working on to control Flair smart vents through Hubitat. I created a 100% free beta app and driver that allows discovering and controlling Flair vents.
You can find the code here:
It's still in early stages but so far allows:
Finds the right percentage each vent should be opened translating to less motor movements via an Dynamic Air Flow Balancing algorithm
Leverages remote occupancy sensors to deactivate vents on unoccupied rooms

Yes, I've seen that, but it is specific to the vents and not the pucks.
Ah that’s a bummer, sorry. I hadn’t taken a close look at the thread, had only noticed there was a new option for interacting with Flair devices.
Maybe the dev would consider adding puck control if you request that feature.

@holocron , just seeing this now, months later. But I wanted to clarify that this isn't true. The integration by @ljbotero supports vents, pucks, and bridges. Several of us use them and they work great with HE! FWIW...

Thanks for that clarification. I've installed the app, entered my API information, and did a device search, but nothing is discovered. Seems from reading that it might be related to Flair showing an error about "no thermostat."
Maybe my API creds have gone stale since I haven't use them in a while?
