Bedroom Becomes Inactive During Sleep – Flair

Mike Kowalczyk

I've had Flair vents with Ecobee room sensors for almost seven years now and I've never been able to figure out the solution to this without doing a manual override every night. When I enter my room at night, the sensor picks up the motion and sets the room to active. But once I go to sleep (and despite the sensor pointing at the bed), the room becomes inactive. This is particularly an issue in the summer. The bedroom (upstairs) winds up 3-4 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, which is the correct temperature.

Any way to solve this?

Mike Kowalczyk and Evan Adams,

Chuck Askew is right.  Events in your Flair schedule have a higher priority in our hierarchy than the readings from ecobee sensors.  Please create an active event in your Flair schedule during these times for these rooms, with an appropriate set point, and that will keep the rooms from switching to Inactive (aka unoccupied).  If you have any issues, please email our support team - support@flair.co

Same issue! Same setup. I believe the only solution is some sort of future integration with a mmWave sensor as the ecobee sensors just don't catch occupancy during sleep.

I have yet to reinstall my system in my new house, but if i recall correctly, i avoided that issue by having a schedule set up, regardless of room occupancy. We are in and out of the rooms so much that i wouldn't want the system to let "empty rooms" be ignored.
