Overview

Rooms can be set as Active or Inactive in a few different ways:

1. Using the "Active" switch on the room tile
2. Using a Flair schedule
3. Using Home or Away
4. Room sensor occupancy (Flair supports occupancy from ecobee and Honeywell room sensors)

Active Room

Flair will follow set points, holds and schedules in an Active room. For systems with an integrated smart thermostat using Flair as the Set Point Controller, Active rooms will be used in calculating the home average.

In this example, Joe toggled the room to Active at 2:29 PM. The mini split turned on and is holding at 69F.

Inactive Room

Flair does not maintain set points, holds, or schedules in Inactive rooms. For systems with an integrated smart thermostat using Flair as the Set Point Controller, Inactive rooms will not be used in calculating the home average.

For mini splits, Flair will follow the Away Settings defined for your Flair system.

For central systems, Flair will try to close Smart Vents, but may need to keep them open for back pressure protection.

In this example, the Bedroom was set to Inactive by a schedule event at 7:00 PM. The Away Settings for this home are set to "Off Only" so the mini split is turned off when the room is set to Inactive.

Active Switch

Toggle the Active switch on a room tile to set a room toActive or Inactive.

Note that the "Active" label does not change. The text description below the label describes the last action that was taken to set the room Active or Inactive. It may indicate an occupancy event, an Active toggle, or Home/Away status.

Home/Away

Flair's Home/Away Mode controls how Flair determines if your Flair home is set Home or Away. When a home is set Away, all rooms are set Inactive.
