Therefore, it uses an AC adapter for power. Flair also has the option to use a 24VAC power adapter.Ī booster fan like the SmartCocoon uses way too much energy for a battery to be a realistic option. Flair smart vents run on 2 C batteries which typically last for at least 2 years. Fortunately, the energy required to occasionally open or close a vent is small enough to use batteries. However, I don’t know of anyone that has power wired to their vents. Power Source – Ideally, a smart vent would be plugged in to constant power. However, sensing the room temperature from the vent (right where all the hot or cold air comes out) is difficult and prone to error.Īlternatively, the Flair smart vents rely on the Flair Puck or third party sensors which can be placed in a location better suited for accurate temperature measurement. The SmartCocoon comes with a temperature sensor built in. Therefore, it needs to either come with its own temperature sensor, or be compatible with third party temperature sensors. Temperature Sensors – A smart vent needs to know the air temperature in the room in it’s trying to control. Therefore, there’s little need to keep the main level conditioned at night. For example, my home’s bedrooms are all on the 2nd floor. For example, you have one person that likes their bedroom cool, and another that likes their bedroom warm. This is another situation that is ideal for replacing all your registers with smart vents. However, you would like to keep some rooms warmer or cooler during certain times of the day.

You have a well-balanced HVAC system that keeps your rooms at relatively even temperatures.

However, if you’re dead-set on putting a smart vent in the room, a single Flair smart vent paired with a Flair Puck would solve the problem. You can simply close the damper on the vent in that room to the point where it no longer gets too much air. In this case, you probably don’t need a smart vent. Therefore, it is too cold in the summer and too hot in the winter. For example, if you have a room that gets lots of sunlight and you are in the midst of a blistering heat wave, there may not be much you can do to keep the room as cool as the rest of the house. However, in extreme cases it may not be enough. In most cases, the smart vents should be able to redirect enough air to even out the temperature. This is a situation where replacing all your registers with smart vents can work.

Rooms fluctuate in temperature as the sun changes position throughout the day.

You can install one SmartCocoon booster in the offending room and in most cases, it should be able to suck enough extra air into the room to even out the temperature. This is a very common problem, and a smart vent booster fan like the SmartCocoon is a great solution. Therefore it is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

One room is far from the HVAC unit and doesn’t get enough air.
