Just saw this fan controller from Sonoff for $12. @ericm can you do your magic on this bad boy so we can have another option rather than the Hampton Controller + Repeater combo we currently have. Forgot to post the link...thank you @kelpayne :blush: https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-ifan02-wifi-smart-…

In case @ericm or anyone else finds this helpful, here are the schematics for the Sonoff iFan02 https://github.com/arendst/arendst.github.io/blob/master/media/ifan02/iFan02Schematics.pdf

[UPDATE] I figured out how to add full fan and light (on/off) support for iFan02 in Homebridge. No firmware flash required. Will create a full step by step. Not ideal for everyone, but it is at least possible to control it via HomeKit automation by using virtual switches to trigger and HomeKit Scen…

I got mine a few weeks ago and just had some time to play around with it. It is similar to the 4CH so getting it to work with my firmware is actually pretty simple. I have it mostly done and will post it soon for testing. As for flashing it, I read that an external power source is needed, but that …

Great news. Now I'll have to learn how to do this. Although the method I posted works, local control is far preferable. Is there a Hubitat driver that works with this right now, or will that work still need to be done? What others have found, and I confirmed myself, is our North American fans don't…

I believe @ogiewon may know a thing or two about ESP8266's.

Dang, that sucks about the hardware. I've already done the driver and smartapp support and linked it on my Sonoff page in the forum. [image] [RELEASE] Sonoff (Connect) ⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers Edit: I have been playing with adding a Hubitat / SmartThings driver to Tasmo…

So did the hardware chipset change? I am about to purchase 2-3 of them.

Not that I know of, @SmartHomePrimer was just mentioning how the internals don't work well with US fans. See the post that mine is replying to.

Order away. Just know that you're going to need to do a little sourcing and soldering :wink: The 2.5 microfarad motor run capacitors that are used in the Sonof iFan02 need to be replaced or the medium and low speeds will be way too slow. Different fans have different run capacitors in them, so if y…

@SmartHomePrimer Thanks for the info! So my question for you surrounding the microfarad capacitors. Do I just purchase the link above and then solder both into a single Son/off or do I just need (1)?
