Daikin compatibility

Make your Daikin mini split smart.

Puck 2 controls Daikin wall units through their infrared remote codes, so you get app and voice control, schedules and room-level comfort without a Daikin Wi-Fi adapter.

Thousands of Daikin mini splits are already controlled by Flair.

If your Daikin mini split has a standard IR remote, Puck 2 works with it.Check your remote

Standard IR remote

Has a display that shows the settings you're sending, like temperature, mode and fan speed. Works with Puck 2.

Incremental remote

No display, or a display that only shows temperature, not mode or fan speed. Not compatible with Flair.

Your Daikin remote only knows what you tell it.

Your Daikin unit decides how warm the room is by reading the air at the unit, usually high on the wall where warm air collects. The room you're sitting in can be several degrees off, so you end up adjusting the remote again and again.

The remote also has to be in your hand to do anything. It can't run a schedule for each room, turn things down when you leave, or tell you what's happening at home while you're out.

Puck 2 sends infrared commands straight to your Daikin head unit, just like your remote, from a thermostat on the wall or table in the room you use. No wiring, and no Daikin Wi-Fi adapter.

Remote vs. Puck 2

Why use Flair instead of the Daikin remote.

The Flair app on a phone in front of a room with a Flair Puck 2 on the wall, with callouts reading Reads the temperature where you are and Control from anywhere with the app.

Puck 2 goes on the wall in the room you use. It reads the temperature where you are and sends infrared commands straight to your Daikin head unit, so the room gets comfortable without you reaching for anything.

Control every room from anywhere with the Flair app, or by voice. You can still turn the Puck like a thermostat. Schedules, away mode and humidity control run on their own.

Comfort where you actually are.

A living room with a woman reading on the sofa: the mini split reads 75 degrees up at the unit, while Flair Puck 2 reads 70 degrees where you are.

RoomSense™ reads the temperature where you sit, not up at the unit, and fine-tunes your Daikin mini split until the room matches your set point.

Place the Puck where you spend time, and the room gets comfortable instead of the ceiling.

Auto Dry Mode

When your Daikin unit supports dry mode, the Puck watches room humidity and switches to dry on its own, so summer rooms don't feel muggy.

Schedules and Smart Away

Set 7-day schedules for each room, and let Smart Away set your Daikin unit back when nobody's home.

Control from anywhere

Use the Flair app on iOS, Android or the web, or ask Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to set the room.

No phone needed

Rotate the Puck to change the temperature, just like a thermostat. Easy for guests and anyone who doesn't use the app.

Whole-home control

Built for homes with more than one head unit.

A remote controls one unit at a time. Flair runs every mini split in the home as one system.

Multi-zone coordination

Multi-zone Daikin systems run several head units from one outdoor unit. Flair treats them as one system, so each room gets what it needs without the units working against each other.

No heat vs. cool conflicts

Head units on the same outdoor unit can't heat and cool at the same time. Group them in Flair and it picks one mode for the system, based on what most rooms need, so you avoid error codes and rooms stuck in the wrong mode.

Every unit, every property

See and control every head unit, in every room and every home or rental you manage, from one Flair account. Copy a setup from one unit to the next for faster installs.

Ductless and central in one app

Run your mini splits alongside Flair Smart Vents and your thermostat in the same app, with Mini Split Mirror Mode™ keeping them in step.

Have Daikin central heating and cooling too?

Flair Smart Vents work with your ducted Daikin system. They open and close room by room to send air where it's needed, so you stop overheating one room to fix another.

With Mini Split Mirror Mode™, your mini split follows your smart thermostat's settings, so the whole home runs on one plan.

FAQ

Questions about Flair and Daikin.

Does Flair work with Daikin mini splits?

Yes, if it has a standard infrared (IR) remote: one with a display that shows the temperature, mode and fan speed you're setting. Puck 2 sends infrared commands straight to the head unit, just like that remote, so there's nothing to wire.

Do I need the Daikin Wi-Fi adapter?

No. Puck 2 connects to Wi-Fi itself and talks to your Daikin indoor unit with infrared, the same way your remote does.

Which Daikin remotes work with Flair?

Any standard Daikin infrared (IR) remote with a display that shows your settings. Examples include ARC452A21, ARC480A8, ARC466A18, ARC466A36. The remotes listed on this page are examples, not a complete list. Overall, Puck 2 works with 275+ brands and 6,000+ OEM IR remotes.

How do I know if my remote will work?

Look at your remote's display. If it shows the settings you're sending, like temperature, mode and fan speed, it's a standard IR remote and Puck 2 can control the unit. Remotes with no display, or a display that only shows temperature (incremental remotes), aren't compatible.

How many Pucks do I need?

One Puck 2 for each indoor head unit you want to control, placed in the room that unit serves.

Do I need a Flair Bridge?

Not always. A Bridge lets your Pucks run fully wireless. Without one, a Puck runs in Solo Mode while plugged in to power. With several mini splits, we recommend a Bridge for faster setup and stronger connectivity.

Can Flair control a multi-zone Daikin system?

Yes. Use one Puck 2 per head unit. Group the head units that share an outdoor unit, and Flair picks one mode for the group based on what most rooms need, so the units don't fight between heating and cooling.

Can I manage mini splits in more than one home?

Yes. Every home or rental you add shows up in the same Flair account, so you can see and change every head unit from one app.

Will my Daikin remote still work?

Yes. Your Daikin remote keeps controlling the unit. Most people put it away once schedules and the Flair app are set up.

Does Flair work with my Daikin central system too?

Yes. Flair Smart Vents work with your ducted Daikin system to balance airflow room by room, and Mini Split Mirror Mode™ can keep your mini split in step with your smart thermostat.
