**Note About Pucks**

Flair statement regarding Puck Light Level sensor:

>  It is not calibrated. The sensor itself, if the nominal reference is 1, can range from 0.3 to 1.6. This also doesn't take into account the mechanical loss in the Puck. In short, this is not an accurate lux sensor.

## Vent

In order to control vents that are in Flair Rooms that have a temperature sensor, the System setting in the Flair app needs to be set to `Manual` (see image above). If you have it set to `Auto`, you will still be able to control your vents, however, eventually Flair will override your changes. This mode can also be set using a Flair Structure's `System Mode select entity` within Home Assistant.

**Any vents in Flair Rooms that don't report temperature can be controlled regardless of current mode set.**

Each Vent has the following entities:

| Entity | Entity Type | Additional Comments |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Vent` | `Cover` | Has a state of either `open` or `closed`. If your vent is either `50` or `100` percent open, the state will be `open`. If your vent is `0` percent open, the state will be `closed`. You can manually open the vent halfway (50 percent) by either changing the tilt position to `50` via the UI or by using the service `cover.set_cover_tilt_position` and setting `tilt position` to `50`. Note: Although you can move the slider to any value between 0-100, any tilt position other than `0` or `100` will be interpreted as `50` - this is a Flair vent limitation as it doesn't support any other position aside from 0, 50, or 100. |
| `Duct Pressure` | `Sensor` | |
| `Duct Temperature` | `Sensor` | |
| `Reported state` | `Sensor` | This entity is disabled by default. Value corresponds to the percent open of the vent as last reported by the sensor on the vent itself. Can be used in automations to determine if puck failed to open/close a vent by comparing if the state of this sensor is equal to the position of the related vent cover entity (for example checking 5 minutes after the current position of the vent cover entity changed). |
| `Associated gateway`            | `Sensor`    | Displays the name of the bridge or puck (as named in the Flair app) the vent is using as a gateway. |
| `Connection status`          | `Binary Sensor`    | Used to show if the vent is reported as being online by Flair. |
| `RSSI` | `Sensor` | |
| `Voltage` | `Sensor` | Displays the current voltage of the vent. If using batteries to power your vent, this can be used to monitor battery health. |

## Room

Each Room has the following entities:

| Entity                      | Entity Type | Additional Comments                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
|-----------------------------| --- |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Activity Status`           | `Select` | Rooms can be set to Active or Inactive. `Note:` By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| `Clear hold`                | `Button` | Clears the current temperature set point change hold time and reverts back to the original set point. `Note:` By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual.                                                                                                                                                                             |
| `Room`                      | `Climate` | Temperature set points can be changed on a room by room basis. Changing HVAC mode for a room propagates that change to all rooms as the HVAC mode is set at the Structure level. `Note:` By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual.                                                                                                  |
| `Temperature holding until` | `Sensor` | If you have the default hold duration set to anything other than "Until next scheduled event", this entity will show you how much time is left until the manual temperature hold expires. `Note:` This entity is only available if there is a currently active hold for the room. By default, this entity is disabled if Flair system mode is set to manual. |

**Additional Notes**

Changing the temperature for a room climate entity will change the set temperature of the corresponding room. This change will remain for `until next scheduled event`, `3h`, `8h`, `24h`, or `forever`- this depends on the setting in the Flair app under Home Settings > System Settings > Default Hold Duration. This can also be changed using the "Default hold duration" entity in Home Assistant.

## IR HVAC Unit

Each IR HVAC unit has the following entities:

| Entity      | Entity Type | Additional Comments |
|-------------| --- |---------------------|
| `HVAC unit` | `Climate` | SEE NOTE BELOW      |

> To fully control your unit, the associated Flair structure needs to be in `Manual Mode`.
> 
> If your structure is set to `Auto Mode`: you will only be able to control `Fan speed` and `Swing` (if available for your unit). In addition, mini split temperature set point is controlled by rooms if a Flair structure is set to `Auto Mode`. Changing the temperature of this climate entity will result in changing the room set point when in `Auto Mode`. You also cannot change the HVAC mode as this is controlled at the Structure level when in auto mode.
> 
> If your structure is set to `Manual Mode`: Setting the HVAC mode to `Off` will turn your HVAC unit off. In order to turn the unit on, set the HVAC mode to your desired HVAC mode (Heat, Cool, Fan Only, etc).

### If your HVAC unit only has standalone buttons in the Flair app:

For these HVAC units `button` entities are created depending on what control is available (Temp +, Temp -, Fan +, Fan -, etc).
In addition, a `Last button pressed` `sensor` entity is created showing the last command sent to the HVAC unit by Flair. By default, if the Flair API doesn't return a value for the last button pressed, the sensor will have a state of `No button pressed`.
