Requirements
Flair's Mirror Mode functionality is active whenever ALL of the following conditions are met.
- The Flair home has an integrated smart thermostat
- The Set Point Controller setting for the Flair home is set to "Thermostat", i.e. not "Flair App".
- There are mini splits setup in this Flair home
Mirror Mode applies to Flair Homes that contain an integrated smart thermostat and one or more mini splits. If you have the Thermostat designated to control the heating and cooling decisions in your Flair home via the Set Point Controller = "Thermostat" setting then
For Mirror Mode to work correctly your mini splits and smart thermostat must support the same capabilities. If your Smart Thermostat can heat and cool your mini splits also need to be able to heat and cool.
What does Mirror Mode do?
When the requirements above are met Mirror Mode will communicate the current mode and set point on your thermostat to your mini splits. The idea is that they will work together to accomplish your comfort goals.
Examples:
- If your thermostat is heating to 68°F your mini split will also be set to heat to 68°F.
- If your thermostat is cooling to 75°F your mini split will also be set to cool to 75°F.
What if I don't want my thermostat controlling my mini split?
If you do not want Mirror Mode to keep your mini split in sync with your integrated smart thermostat you have two options
- You can change the Set Point Controller setting from Thermostat to Flair App, but this will have Flair writing set points to your thermostat. If you wish to keep your thermostat in control and leave the Set Point Controller as Thermostat see option 2 below.
- Your other option is to set up the mini split in a different Flair home that you create under this same email address. You can switch from one Flair home to another in the app with two taps and easily control both systems as needed.
