App requires a physical unit to connect to that does the actual camera work.
There’s no mention of this anywhere until you start to use the App.

Firmware update broke my unit

Performed the latest firmware update and now my unit won’t connect to my wifi. I’ve reset the unit, deleted and redownloaded the app, reset my iPhone 100x. Nothing is fixing the issue. Thank you for the frustration with the amazing update!

Thermalsicht öffnet sich nicht

Ich habe mein Gerät bislang ohne Probleme andocken können, seit einem der letzten Updates schaltet die Anzeige nach dem Andockvorgang aber nicht mehr um auf die Thermalansicht. Schade, so wird das Gerät unbrauchbar.

FAQ

What does the FLIR ONE app do?

The FLIR ONE app works with a connected FLIR ONE series thermal camera to turn your smartphone into a thermal imager. It allows you to see heat signatures, capture thermal photos and videos, and analyze temperature data to identify problems like water leaks, electrical issues, or HVAC inefficiencies.

What are the key features of the FLIR ONE app?

Key features include a live thermal camera view, the ability to capture and save photos/videos, temperature spot measurements, adjustable color palettes, and the option to add text notes. Advanced models offer automatic hot/cold spot tracking and IR scale adjustment. The app also supports cloud uploads for easy sharing and organization.

Is the FLIR ONE app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and explore. However, to utilize the full thermal imaging capabilities, you need to connect a compatible FLIR ONE series thermal camera. Some advanced features, such as the FLIR ONE Inspection Guides, are available as paid in-app purchases.

What devices is the FLIR ONE app compatible with?

The app is designed to connect with FLIR ONE series thermal cameras, which then attach to your smartphone. You can explore the app's features without the camera attached, but the thermal imaging functionality requires the physical camera accessory. Specific compatibility details for the camera models can be found on the FLIR website.

What are common use cases for the FLIR ONE app?

Common use cases include inspecting electrical panels for overheating components, diagnosing HVAC system failures, finding hidden water damage or insulation gaps in homes, and performing general building inspections. It's also useful for automotive diagnostics and identifying energy loss around windows and doors.
