Note: The recommendations below are not recommended for Flair homes that have an integrated smart thermostat where the "Set Point Controller" is set to "Flair App". These recommendations will likely result in very undesired set points being written to your smart thermostat and thus very undesired performance.
If your Flair home is configured with a non-integrated thermostat or you are running your integrated thermostat with the "Set Point Controller" setting set to "Thermostat" you can follow the below advice to attempt to have your Smart Vents open and close based on time (not temperature).
To accomplish this you will set an extreme set point for the room containing these Smart Vents. This is likely best accomplished via a Flair schedule but can also be done via short-term holds.
Here are a few examples...
- You're having a party in your home, have set the system fan to run during the party, and want to ensure your Smart Vents are open to improve circulation.
- If the Flair Mode is set to "Cool" change the set point in any rooms with Flair Smart Vents to 50°F to force Smart Vents to open. Unless the room is already below 50°F all Smart Vents will open.
- If the Flair Mode is set to "Heat" change the set point in any rooms with Flair Smart Vents to 85°F to force Smart Vents to open. Unless there is a room already above 85°F all Smart Vents will open.
- You can revert to your normal set points at the conclusion of the party.
- During the winter you want the Smart Vents in your bedrooms to open at 6:45 AM and stay open until 7:30 AM each day.
- Assuming Flair is in "Heat" mode you can create a schedule with an event for each bedroom with Smart Vents as follows:
- Start: 6:45 AM
- End 7:30 AM
- Days: M, Tu, W, Th, F, Sa, Su
- Set Point 85°F
- This will ensure that the Smart Vents open to let in the warm air (assuming that your room is not already warmer than 85°F).
- Assuming Flair is in "Heat" mode you can create a schedule with an event for each bedroom with Smart Vents as follows:
