Can the Puck be used in place of the Ecobee room sensor?
Answered
What I'm really trying to find out is if the Puck be used as a stand-in for an Ecobee room sensor, or does I always need an Puck and an ecobee room sensor in the same room?
Or to phrase it another way, does the ecobee thermostat acquire temperature readings from a Puck?

Our integration with ecobee, like most all integrations, is one-way. We read temperature data from the ecobee Remote Sensor and can display this information in our App. We can also use it to assist our algorithmic calculations for automation.
Our Pucks cannot be used as Remote Sensors inside the ecobee App. That would require ecobee to build an integration with our platform and API. If you would like to see this developed, we recommend you getting in contact with ecobee customer support so we can see it happen!

If you are an ecobee user you just need one puck (unless you have a much higher than normal number of vents) to be a gateway. Flair will then use your ecobee sensor temp data to control the vents. If you’re trying to figure out the most economical way to get temperature data for each room, ecobee sensors are the way to go.
