Bond Bridge

James,
I can send an inovelli fan controller to add to your collection.

They also have this mode called breeze mode that randomly whips the fan through different speeds to simulate a changing breeze.

Best,
Charlie-

I do have 3 of the home seer fan speed controllers, 2 on the Vera still and one on the Hubitat and they also work great. They have the option of having 4 speeds rather than just 3. They will also handle a slightly higher load than the GE ones, at least back when I was looking at them. I have 4 ceiling fans on one circuit out on the porch that have been difficult to control due to them all together being a bit much for any other brands of controllers, but so far the home seer model is working great and has not smoked itself and actually controls the speed of the fans to usable levels. The last one I tried was overloaded and so would barely spin them at all on low, on medium they would reliably start but not actually blow any air since they moved so slowly, and then of course high was fine, but why bother with a fan controller then ;)

I’m only away of KC using the thing right now but if others are interested I can definitely move it up the list for support. It’s a fairly large set of things to support so won’t be a simple drop in plugin which is why I haven’t just dove in. Also I dont have one to experiment with and have nothing that I could control with it even if I did which means that it would be much more difficult to test ;) Implementing protocols in a vacuum is a pain in the neck ;)

The switch and the controller communicate through RF, and your zwave controller communicates with the switch. As long as the switch location has line and neutral feeds it can be located anywhere as long as it’s close enough to get the RF signal to the canopy of the fan.
