Delivers as advertized
I delayed ordering these to see what reviews looked like, and still ordered these worried that there might be a “sunk cost fallacy”, where having invested significant money and time in the system, people report almost a placebo effect. But that is NOT the case here.
We bought 7 vents, for our largest areas (living room, den, office and bedroom). Prior to the Flair vents, we regularly had 5-7 degree differences between our warmest and coolest rooms. Someone was always too cold or too warm.
Installation was easy, fast. Little bit of sluggishness for a couple vents or pucks to get recognized and integrated. But truly, instantly, the house temps evened out. It’s weeks later now and I still find myself realizing how comfortable I am, moving from room to room.
Occasionally a vent goes offline. I am adjusting the position of the hub and or it’s antenna occasionally, and have improved the situation. Hopefully I find the best position that keeps them all on continuously, but it has not affected the utility of the system, as it is usually only one vent that goes offline but comes back before long.
Oh, and we’ll keep watching, but our thermostat reported reduction of cooling by ~30% over previous weeks. Not yet sure this can be attributed to Flair but it seems likely, at least in part given the weather.

Fundamentally broken
My unit is putting out max heat despite the fact that the room temp (as measured by the puck) is 11 degrees F above the set point. If I lower the temp any further it asks if I just want to turn it off.
During hot days the downstairs unit runs when it’s 10° F below the set point, so it’s broken in both directions.
Someone doesn’t understand how a thermostat is supposed to work. Pretty sure it’s not me.

I wish I could leave 10 negative reviews
Confusing, horribly designed, doesn’t let you schedule changes in mode, doesn’t let you do most of what a mini split remote does, doesn’t keep anywhere close to the temperature you tell it to 80% of the time, and occasionally just makes random decisions that have nothing to do with your schedule or settings. Something that I regret buying and think about hurling into the trash at least once a day.

Solid overall experience
Edit: they fixed the location permission issue fairly quickly which I very much appreciate. Back to being a happy flair customer again! Been a Flair user for years and have generally had a great experience with it. Just wish the app had more features, but the fact that you can get an API key and DIY your own UI is pretty great.

Annoying app
Device works great with the exception of constantly wants location turned on. Personally only have location turned on while accessing app but wants to know location at all times and prompts so every time app is opened. I do not , nor does device support , geo location for operation.
