IFTTT and other new user questions
Answered
Is there going to be IFTTT integration soon?
I just got my first puck today. Although I think the setup was kinda awful, your device has promise... I’ve been tinkering with Insteon switches and the Universal Devices ISY controller for several years now, so despite the fact that the setup wasn’t very friendly or obvious, I was able to get the puck set up as a gateway (without calling support), and am now able to manually turn off and on my window ac unit located in the basement via my phone...
How do I get this puck to send a code to shut my ac unit off when the temperature gets to the set point? I don’t see a high or low set point either. Are there plans to do that?

I'm wondering if there is a way to get around the IFTTT support using Alexa as a "middleman". Since Alexa works with IFTTT and Flair. Has anyone figured this out?
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is connect temperature control to a calendar for an Airbnb apartment. That way Flair can shut my heat/AC off when no guest is staying, and turn back on 1 hour before a guest is scheduled to arrive.
+1 for IFTTT support

incredibly disappointed that Flair does not have a 'dead band' or, in plain english: 'shut it off once desired temp is hit'.
Worse... I had to BUY it to find out what it can and cannot do... no literature. Probably going to return the 2 I bought.
btw... i am sick and tired of hearing HVAC pro's telling me that I'll burn up a compressor if I set too narrow a dead-band... it's a multi-zone mini-split! I'm not going to burn up anything.

Hi Rick,
We call these maintenance bands (also known as hysteresis bands) and have a full article on how our maintenance band works. We may accommodate custom maintenance bands upon request. If you are interested in adjusting your maintenance band, please let us know with the subject "Requesting custom maintenance band." Please note that changing this may result in slightly faster battery consumption.

+1 for IFTTT. Since my Trane A/Cs are not compatible with Nest or Ecobee, I either need Nexia or IFTTT integration. It is annoying that they are advertising themselves as "The perfect temperature in every room", "works with all your favorite devices", and "The ultimate smart vent system" but no IFTTT support if you don't have Ecobee, Nest, or Honeywell thermostats.

+1 for iftt with full access to options available within manual mode. For example, turn on mini split into cooling mode when temperature goes above X but if humidity goes above Y then switch into dry mode until humidity drops below Z. Obviously it would be great to have this level of control within your native application but this seems like it would be the quicker and easier way to extend the existing functionality to us today without too much heavy lifting from your engineering team

+1 for flair support. Is the concern you would lose potential puck business by opening this up, because I believe you are losing way more potential vent customers. I have five vents currently, and would be interested in about 10 more, but after realizing the vents don’t “play nice” with other automation am exploring other vendors.
