Flair

Description

Requires Crestron Home OS 4.12 or later.

The CPLLC Flair Platform brings Flair Smart Vent homes into Crestron Home. Every room of every home in the customer’s Flair account becomes a Crestron Home thermostat of its own, whatever the room holds: Smart Vents, Pucks, remote sensors, a mini-split, or nothing that measures at all. Each room’s page sets the room’s temperature, switches the whole home between heating, cooling, automatic and off, and makes the room active or inactive, and shows the room’s temperature and humidity whenever something in the room measures them. The platform talks to the Flair cloud, so nothing has to be wired; changes made in the Flair app arrive through Flair’s webhook or by reading the rooms at a set interval.

Drivers->Platform->Flair->Cloud (Latest Release Notes) (Download Latest Version)

Windows utility that simplifies sideloading of drivers and extensions.

The platform’s own license key, or a CPLLC site license key, is entered in the platform’s Enter License Key option. The License Manager is not required, but it is the convenient place to enter a site license key once for every CPLLC driver.

All license purchases are final and non-refundable. Every CPLLC driver works fully for two hours without a key: test it on your processor before you buy. See the Terms of Use.

Platform Installer Options

• Obtain License Key – Opens CPLLC.net, where license keys and site licenses can be purchased.
• Enter License Key – The Flair Platform license key. Leave blank when the site has a CPLLC site license.
• Flair Client Id – The client id from the Flair app’s Developer Settings.
• Flair Client Secret – The client secret from the same page.
• Use the Flair Webhook – Flair calls the processor with every change (default off). Needs the Webhook URL to reach this processor’s Webhook Port from the internet. Off: the rooms are read every Polling Seconds.
• Webhook URL – The public address Flair calls, such as http://myhome.example.net:9981/: a dynamic DNS name, with the router forwarding that port to the processor’s Webhook Port. Setup shows “Invalid URL” when the webhook is on and this is blank.
• Webhook Port – The port the processor listens on for Flair’s calls, 1024 to 65535 (default 9981).
• Polling Seconds – How often every room is read when the webhook is off, 30 to 3600 seconds (default 60).
• Temperature Scale – The scale every room’s page shows its temperatures and set points in: As Reported (the default) keeps the home’s own scale, Fahrenheit shows whole degrees and Celsius half degrees. Set points still reach Flair in the home’s scale. A change shows once the platform is reloaded.

Rooms

Each Flair room is a Crestron Home thermostat named as it is in the Flair app. Its tile shows the home’s mode; its page has the thermostat with the room’s set point and temperature, a Humidity line for rooms that report humidity, and, side by side in one row, a Mode list (Heat, Cool, Auto, Off), a Smart list (Active, Inactive) and a Sync button.

Rooms Installer Options

• Show on Home Screen – Shows the room’s tile on the Home screen (default off).
• Show in Room Screen – Shows the room’s tile in its room (default on).
• Starting Pin Code – A numeric PIN that must be entered before the page’s controls work. Blank means no PIN (the default).
• Seconds Pin Active – How long the page stays unlocked after the last touch (default 10 seconds).

Rooms Actions

• Set Setpoint – Sets the room’s set point, in the scale its page shows (the home’s, or the one Temperature Scale picks): Fahrenheit in whole degrees, Celsius in half degrees.
• Set Mode – Sets the Flair home to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off. It is the home’s mode, so it changes every room of that home.
• Set Smart – Makes the room Active or Inactive.
• Sync – Reads every room from Flair again.
• Extension Enable / Extension Disable – Enables or disables the room. A disabled room shows Disabled and ignores its tile and page.

Rooms Events

• Temp Above Setpoint / Temp Below Setpoint – The room’s temperature crossed its set point, once per crossing. Only rooms that measure their temperature raise them, and never while the home is Off.
• is On / is Off – The home’s mode changed from Off to Heat, Cool or Auto, or to Off.
• Mode is Heat / Mode is Cool / Mode is Auto / Mode is Off – The home’s mode changed to that mode, from Crestron Home, the Flair app or a schedule. It is the home’s mode, so every room raises it.
• Extension Enabled / Extension Disabled – The room was enabled or disabled.
• Pin Locked / Pin UnLocked – The PIN keypad locked again, or the right PIN was entered.

Sequences

Every room’s actions and events are listed under Rooms. A sequence’s Set Mode changes the whole Flair home, so a sequence that sets one room’s mode sets every room’s.
