About Flair.co:

We founded Flair to solve a problem that almost every house or apartment has: the room that doesn't heat or cool evenly. Its temperature is out of sync with the rest of the house. It's either too hot or too cold.

Flair fixes that. We built a suite of products that give you room-level temperature control at an affordable cost.

We want you to be comfortable and to save energy. It's as simple as that.

“This is perfect if you already have honeywell sensors and don't need any pucks”

“The bridge was easy to install. I used it to replace my gateway puck. The bridge works so much better than the gateway puck, probably because it uses a larger omnidirectional antenna instead of a smaller directional antenna. I'm still building my system and have four vents installed on two floors in my house. The bridge improved the vent RSSI signal strength by 3 to 22 dB. On a side note, I found out that rotating the vents by 180 degrees can make up to a 10 dB difference in their RSSI.”

“I thought the old way Flair worked with thermostats being able to be in bridge mode was cool, but honestly, the bridge is just better. It's range easily covers our entire 3 story house and it's been very stable. The transition from the puck bridge to the dedicated bridge took less than 5 minutes. All I had to do was go to my 2 puck bridges and set them as sensors. Everything just worked which I appreciated!”

“I've been using an 9 vent Flair system for the past 6 months with it linked to an Ecobee thermostat and Home Assistant. I bought the Bridge to improve stability as one of my vents intermittently would alert for poor signal. I also wanted to get the Puck out of an inconvenient location due to it's need for a power outlet while acting as the vent controller on my "old" Flair setup. Install was easy with clear, easy to follow directions in the app. A couple of minutes later all my vents had migrated over to the new Bridge and they're working great. In the week it has been installed I haven't had to think about it, and that's the best review I can give for something like this! While I dislike the Flair system being reliant on cloud connectivity and would prefer it have a local access option it's been working well with my Home Assistant setup and didn't require any new configuration in HA to support the new Bridge.”

“I bought a bridge to replace a single gateway puck I have been using in my setup. I attached it to my router via ethernet, connected via the Flair app (add device) from my phone. It then connected to the internet and updated its firmware immediately and went on to pick up my 8 vents. I am using Ecobee sensors in all the rooms with smart vents. It immediately found all the vents and then indicated I could turn off the puck gateway. That was it, worked flawlessly. There could be a little more documentation - whats in the box is minimal. The reason I bought it was to get the extended range it advertised as I felt the gateway puck was a bit too distant from some of my vents and very occasionally lost contact.”

“The new Flair Bridge is great! I previously had the Flair smart vents and pucks/gateways set up in all 5 of our bedrooms. I had to make several of the pucks into gateways to have sufficient network strength to all of the vents. Now, with the Bridge, I have excellent network strength throughout the system and have been able to convert all the gateways back into pucks (which don't have to be plugged into AC power). A must cleaner implementation. The setup was easy and everything worked right away. It has been up and running for about 2 weeks now.”

“This product helps with iffy coverage of my Flair vents. It's very simple to set up and I appriciate that it has an ethernet port which helps keep my WiFi clean. I would reccomend it over the pucks unless you need the thermostat features of the pucks. A future upgrade that made it a bit smaller (it's not large but bigger than a Rasberry Pi) and supported power-over-ethernet would be welcome to improve placement flexiblity.”

“Love it! No issues so far and install was super straightforward. Don't need any annoying hard-wired gateway pucks in our 6500sqft house anymore! Made me wanna deploy more vents in other rooms.”
