What is a room hold?
A room hold is when a change is made to a room by a person via the app or the Puck. Holds can be:
- Set point changes
- Active state changes
You can set holds using the Flair app or the Puck.
You can set a room hold for any room.
For example, this room is holding at 76F.
Default Hold Duration - How long do holds last?
Flair uses the Default Hold Duration setting to determine when to end room holds.
The Default Hold Duration is located in Home Settings->System Settings.
Flair recommends setting the Default Hold Duration to "Until next scheduled event". This will allow a scheduled event to interrupt a hold. If you do not want scheduled events to interrupt a hold, set Default Hold Duration to "Forever".
See also Flair Priority for understanding how Flair prioritizes room holds.
What is the system default for this setting?
If you set up your Flair App before April 15, 2018, Default Hold Duration is set to 3 hours by default.
If you set up your Flair App after April 15, 2018, Default Hold Duration is set to "forever" by default.
If you set up your Flair App after January 1, 2021, Default Hold Duration is set to "Until next scheduled event" by default.
Regardless of these defaults, you can change the value of Default Hold Duration at any time.
Create a Room Hold using the Flair App
To set a temperature hold on a room, drag the temperature slider to a new set point.
To change the active status of a room, toggle the Active switch.
Create a Room Hold using a Flair Puck
A set point hold can be set by rotating a Puck in a room to a new set point. You notice the Puck will display the set point as the larger number while you're rotating the Puck.
To set a room Active or Inactive, enter the Puck menu and select "Turn On" or "Turn Off".
Modify or Cancel a Room Hold
To modify or cancel a room hold, tap the hold indicator.
From here, you can tap "Cancel" to cancel the room hold, or tap "Edit Default Hold Duration" to modify the Default Hold Duration.
Note: Changing the Default Hold Duration will change the hold duration for all rooms in your Flair home.
Holds and Away Behavior
When a Flair home is set Away, room holds will be cleared. When the Flair home is set Home, any previous room holds will NOT be restored.
