Do I still need a Puck
I just bought the new Network Bridge and that leaves me with a Puck. I have ecobebe thermostat and ecobee remote sensors in all my rooms.
What purpose, if any, does the Puck serve in this scenario? I'm trying to figure out if I still need the puck.

Hello Paul,
Thanks for writing.
You can use the Puck as a Sensor for any of your rooms with the benefit of adjusting the temperature by rotating it, which you cannot do with the ecobee sensors.
If you have a larger room you can add it there and Flair will get the average from both puck and sensor to get a better read of the ambient temperature. Alternatively, you can add the Puck to any room in which you would like to directly change the temperature by rotating the Puck.
Please note that Flair will average the temperature for both sensors and display it in the Flair App.
Regards,
Flair Support.

Alex, I take it that the answer to Paul's question, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that if one has a Flair Network Bridge, one does NOT need a puck, right?
(My specific scenario is: I already have temperature sensors in all relevant rooms, and they are all connected to Home Assistant--which, I understand, you guys support, right? As such, all that's missing is a Flair Network Bridge (... and vent registers, of course).)

You're understanding is correct. Every Flair system will need either a Flair Bridge or a Flair Puck configured as a Gateway to serve as the hub of the system that communicates with the cloud. If you have a Flair Bridge, Smart Vents, and temperature sensors you can get readings from via HA that is all you should need to get started. For some larger homes, a second Flair Bridge might be needed but you can always write to us directly and we can discuss this.
