Would it be possible to add support for the flair smart vent? https://api.flair.co/

I contacted Keen over a year ago asking for a vent and API access. They didn't play ball.

 

I'll try contacting Flair to see if they're willing.

I’m definitely interested. I have a dual zone system, but there are still temperature fluctuations. They have a page that discusses the API at https://api.flair.co/api/ , which indicates “in process”, but they were targeting shipment in November, so let us know their response.

I would also be interested,I own a few of their vent so far so good.

I just replaced all of my vents with Flair vents.  I use 1 Flair Puck and have Ecobee thermostats on 2 floors in a zoned system.  I am not completely sure it is working as it is supposed to and I can't get the Flair folks to reply to my emails about turning off the default for keeping a certain number of vents open for static back pressure. (I have my own system in place to resolve extra system pressure). 

I'll try asking the guy who started the company.

I think they would be happy to but they are woefully understaffed

I sent them an email a week ago, no response.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but were wondering if you ever got a response from Flair and still thinking to integrate this into NodeLink?

No response

Sad bc I really want to have something like these too.

 

Edit: The reviews for these on Amazon are not good either. All seem to complain about the horrible customer service. That’s too bad. Maybe there’s another manufacturer that does something similar. Scary reading how the vents fell mounted to the ceiling. Not sure if it’s user error or not though.

I have a few vents to be honest they feel very solid and not sure of they would fall down you need to screw them and they are all metal build... As far for customer service I have been very well served so far, but it seem lately they response time is much slower. I think they were victim of their own success. Personally it did made a improvement in overall comfort were I installed the vents.

Hi everyone! This is Nishant from the Flair Team. Sorry if you requested API access and haven't heard back from us yet. In January we were hiring a Customer Success Manager so we can respond to everyone's messages in a timely manner and grow our customer success team. We also switched our help desk software so if you haven't heard back,  please feel free to ping us!

It's worth noting that those are Keen Vents on Amazon and not ours. Keen had a very scary issue with vents falling! We designed ours to avoid that. We're not on Amazon, as we're focused on growing our business through our website, so any Smart Vents you see on Amazon are not Flair's. 

 

Thanks!

Welcome and thanks for responding to this thread. Thats great, I must have mixed up things. I would love to try yours.

IO_Guy - does the link to the API on the site not work for you? What more do you need from it?

Nope, I was asking for a devel device.  I'm not writing for a product i can't debug.  Just too hard to maintain.  

Just to confirm, you are requesting a free Smart Vent and a Puck to develop your integration with ISY? I wanted to make sure before I check with the team on starting up your integration. 

Correct. This looks like a great automation product and I have no issue adding support for it, however I currently have no need to purchase them myself as I have hardwired dampers on all my lines.  

Any progress with Flair on getting a device?

I do have a need for these and will be looking into it a little deeper.

I may be able to work something out with you. Feel free to email hello@flair.co and put Attn: Nishant in the subject line so it's directed to me. Thanks!

My vote goes to getting IOGuy a device to develop a plugin for the ISY using NodeLink

Yes, works for me as well since I already use it for Honeywell at my lake house which is where I plan to use the vents as well.

Yes, same for me, I have some vents and would like to have them integrated with ISY.

 

 

In discussions with Flair through email now; looks like this will happen.

Any progress with Flair?

Nope, never received anything.
