Flair Pro 2 with mini-splits - changing modes with puck

I have a tiny home Bnb with two mini-splits. The way they work makes me crazy as well as my guests. You have to have both mini-splits on the same mode or it throws an error. I thought flair would be my answer. I know you lock them togther on the app, however my guests will not be using an app, they will use the pucks. so if someone comes in on a warm day and the night gets cold, the "auto" mode does not keep it cold enough in the day or hot enough at night so they have to change modes on both remotes from auto in the day to heat at night. huge hassle trying to explain that to them. My problem is, do my new pucks solve that? Can the gues just turn the air down to 64 and it runs cold, and up to 82 and it runs hot? the auto mode only has a range of something like 68-78 degrees. I just want guest to be able to change the temp to what they want and it works.... just like a normal hvac.

    Hi Carl,

    This should work great on the Puck 2.  "Mode Lock" is available and on by default for ductless minisplit installations to avoid mode conflict issues and in Auto mode. 

    Additionally, we have a variety of hospitality features that will rollout shortly with a software and firmware update to ensure guests can control the setpoint/mode/on/off but not change things like wireless connections, factory reset, etc.

    If you have additional questions feel free to send us a note anytime!  And if something about how the system works isn't the way you'd like it, we want to hear about it - we drive much of our development from customer input.

    Hi Carl Hedin,

    Thank you for the question.

    With a Flair Puck controlling each of your mini splits, you can say goodbye to this issue.

    You will need to set the Flair Mode to Auto Heat/Cool. 
    Assuming the Mode is Auto Heat/Cool, if the two mini splits were cooling throughout the day, and the guest is in bedroom at night and wants Heat he will just need to adjust the set point on the Puck in that room high enough that Flair determines heat is needed more than Cool.

    In other words, if they just up the set point in the Bedroom 2°F above the current temp in the room, but the other room is 4°F too warm, based on its current temperature and set point, then Flair would not switch the Mode to Heat.  

    As long as both rooms have reasonable set points, and the temperatures don't stray too crazily, then a reasonable spike to the set point in either room would likely be enough that Flair would send a Heat command to both units and the guest would not have to touch the Puck in the other room.

    If this leaves you with any other questions, please email our support team - support@flair.co - and we will be happy to discuss this further.

    Regards,

    The Flair Team
