Legrand has announced six new Smart Fan Controller additions for its Smart Lighting with Neatmo portfolio. Available in both the adorne and radiant Collections, with wired and wireless remote options for 3-way and multi-location control, the new fan speed controllers give homeowners greater comfort, convenience and control over ceiling fans throughout the home.
Specs and features
The Smart Fan Controllers offer four selectable fan speeds that can be set at the wall or managed from anywhere through the Legrand Home + Control app, which also supports automated schedules that turn fans on and off at specified times.
Because the Smart Lighting with Netatmo system integrates with Google Home, Apple Home and Amazon Alexa, users can also adjust fan speed by voice or fold fan control into routines on their preferred smart home platform.
A double press on the paddle takes the fan straight to maximum speed, the controller retains its set speed level after a power outage, and its de-hummer design helps reduce motor hum for quieter operation.
The Wireless Remote Smart Fan Controller is battery-powered and installed without cutting into walls or running new wiring, mounting to either a wall or surface with included adhesive strips or in an electrical box.
The Wired Remote Smart Fan Controller is line-voltage powered and installed in an electrical box. It communicates wirelessly back to the primary controller and is ideal for converting existing 3-way or multi-location fan control into part of the smart home. In new construction it removes the traveler wire requirement.
Like every Smart Lighting with Netatmo device, the Smart Fan Controllers connect to the system through a Smart Gateway with Netatmo, which establishes a dedicated mesh network supporting up to 98 connected devices. Each primary device added to the home, whether a switch, dimmer, outlet or fan controller, strengthens that network. The primary Smart Fan Controller is rated at 1.6A, 120VAC, for use with AC ceiling fan motors.
Smart Fan Controller Color Change Kits will be available later this fall, with nine color options in the radiant Collection (White, Light Almond, Ivory, Gray, Nickel, Graphite, Black, Brown and Dark Bronze) and three in the adorne Collection (White, Magnesium and Graphite).
