What is the range of Flair devices?

Bridge RF Range

A centrally located Bridge is designed to provide RF coverage to end devices throughout a 3,500 to 4,000 sq ft home.  Factors such as the layout and construction of your home, large metal objects, and interference from other RF signals can impact this RF range.  Additional Bridges can be added to increase RF range as needed.

When attempting to find the best location for a Bridge you can check the signal strength it is providing to other Flair end devices such as Sensor Pucks, Smart Vents, or Bridge Pro using the Home Statistics graph.  We recommend looking at 24 hours of RSSI data after making a change to determine how well it has worked.

Gateway Puck RF Range

Gateway Pucks provide RF coverage to Flair end devices.  The RF coverage range a Flair Gateway Puck provides can be affected by many factors such as the layout and construction of your home, large metal objects, and interference from other RF signals.  Additional Gateway Pucks can be added throughout your home to increase RF range as needed.  The Flair Bridge is recommended when extending RF coverage but existing Sensor Pucks may also be converted to Gateway Pucks as needed.

Puck IR Range

Flair Pucks send commands to a mini split, window, or portable unit just as your manufacturer's remote does, via an IR (Infrared) signal.   

The Puck has three IR blasters - these are located at 10:00 and 2:00 on the sides of the Puck, and at 12:00 on the face of the Puck (as shown below).

These IR blasters have a range of about 15 feet.  The Flair Puck needs to be placed within 15 feet of the IR receiver on the device you wish to control and will need to have a clear line of sight at all times.  The best placement takes into consideration many factors so you can try using a wall opposite the device, an adjacent wall or even the same wall.  Just make sure the IR commands are received consistently.
