Carrier Infinity Integration
Carrier has an Infinity Open API for their newer Infinity thermostats. https://openapi.ing.carrier.com/docs#
Has Flair looked at doing a Carrier Infinity Integration?

This is awesome feedback and appreciate the speedy input. I know I have been salivating at getting variable speed control integrated with the vents since we started the company, literally :)
I think Gary Menszyk's list includes the requests from above. Sharing this thread with the team and will try to come up with some timing. Given its January, my hope is that we could be in good shape for AC season with some late winter/early spring testing. Since its a bit more advanced (I hope!) than what we do with ecobee, Honeywell, and Nest, I'm guessing we may need a tad more time to build confidence and tweak logic.Comment actions -
Hi Gary,
We have reached out to them via the provided email addresses here: https://openapi.ing.carrier.com/Content/pdf/getting-started.pdf but haven't gotten a response from their team yet. We are currently back channeling since they aren't responsive on these email addresses.
All the best,

The document you referenced above appears to have been updated on July 23, 2020.
This seems to indicate the program is alive!
Can you see if this is alive. Flair providing integration through Carrier thermostats would be a great selling point.

Hi, is there any update on this feature? Or can you look at the Infinitude project https://github.com/nebulous/infinitude to provide an integration?

Carrier's API is obviously available. There is a HomeBridge plugin at https://github.com/grivkees/homebridge-carrier-infinity which uses the Carrier API to allow access to Carrier/Bryant systems via Apple Homekit so Flair should be able to put something together to get this working.

Hey All, Quick update - We signed an API agreement with Carrier and are roadmapping the work internally. Now that the Nest integration is out of the way, we have a few different projects for our engineering team in Q1 but this is definitely one that we are pushing to get in the engineering queue. If there are specific features or behaviors you'd like to see with this integration, please do share!

That's great to hear. I'm happy to be a beta tester when you get something functional. Integration to control the zones and set the schedule from the flair system and have that port back to the "carrier schedule" (or however the API allows for connecting) would be ideal. Just having the system be functional and call for the areas that still need served would be great.
We have about a 5F temp difference across in two different zones during the winter so far with the middle of the house were our current thermostat is. Having this would be a game changer for true controllability.

Besides the obvious of being able to turn the AC/Heat on when needed, I think being able to intelligently control the 2stage heat/cool and 3 stage fan would be good.
i.e. if one room needs heat, the fan and heat should be turned on low, and maybe a limiter to not have the fan high if more than a certain percent of the vents are closed.
I can't remember if your devices had the pressure sensor on them as well, but if they do then the fan speed can be intelligently controlled by the pressure in the system as well. i.e. if the pressure is too high, turn the fan speed down a setting.

Fantastic news. Been waiting for 2 years for something. Now to see how much functionality in the Carrier API.
- Knowing when the system is on heating or cooling instead of inferring would allow things to be more responsive.
- Being able to set the Carrier targets for heating and cooling would finally allow closed loop control.
- Taking advantage of variable fan speed and Carrier stages to manage back pressure would allow much more flexibility than the current scheme.
I was about to give up and retrofit Carrier zone controls and scrapping the Flair vents/pucks but will hold off pending a potentially useful solution from Flair.
Now, if only Flair would support Homekit integration... (I know there is a Homebridge plugin, but not the same as true integration).

Daniel Myers. Same comment as above, any updates on timing?
