Flair Mini Split Pucks

Anyone integrated these. I'm always looking for an effective way of getting my Mitsubishi system into Control4 

As an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the intelligence of the Flair System resides in the cloud. 

We do have a free, open API. The site at https://flair.co/api has information on authentication and examples of how to do many common actions - read temperatures, open/close vents, adjust set points, control a mini split, etc.

There is an example python client available at https://github.com/flair-systems/flair-api-client-py and a few additional examples available at https://github.com/flair-systems/flair_api_client_python_examples.

Haven't heard of it.

We do have Sensibo

https://sensibo.com/

https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-sensibo

it does a similar thing.

Similar, but does not change the local control. 

I need local control because I rent the house for individual weeks during the summer and don't want a complex you control the cool in your room on this or that. 

The nest style twist for hotter or colder is intuitive to many and provides instant feedback on the screen. 

Any other thoughts of if my understanding of sensibo is off, I appreciate them. I know you have done lots integrating this non American tech. 

Thanks.

I've used Flair.  It's pretty slick.  I'd think that someone could integrate it because it uses wifi.  Someone would have to build an extension for it.

One thought if you just want to control a mini split--have you looked at Bond?  There is already a C4 extension, if Bond will work with your mini split.

Bond will not work.  Sensibo would be the way to go or Intesis for generic mini split systems.  Otherwise native intergrations to splits for certain systems like Daikin exist as well.

Also the term is 'driver' not 'extension'.  The only system that uses 'Extension' is Crestron Home and that is for integrations that don't fit in with their existing driver models (think of it as a blank ui for you to do stuff outside of standard device types or device types that are not yet supported).  Anyway enough about Crestron Home. Driver is the term for Control4.
