September 19Sep 19 I'm looking for information on the Insteon 2475F Fanlinc module. Is it supported by Eisy? What does the control interface page look like? If you use one has it been reliable and easy to use? Any user comments are welcome! Thanks
September 19Sep 19 Yes it's supported. It appears as two nodes: one for the light and another one for the fan. Both appear as dimmers. The fan physically has 3 speeds, and setting a dim level will select one of the three. If I remember right, 50% or more will select the high speed. 25% to 49% will be medium speed, 1 to 24% low.
September 20Sep 20 According to my notes, I purchased my Fanlinc in 12/2013 and installed it in 03/2014. Haven't had any issues with it. I have it linked to a keypad so it is quite easy to use. Edited September 20Sep 20 by kclenden
September 21Sep 21 Author Thanks, that's very helpful. Controlling the fan speed as if it was continuously variable is strange, but sounds like it works. I do see high, medium, and low in the picture, so that is encouraging. I think I will give one a try.
September 21Sep 21 @Breezyken I too have several Fanlincs installed. They all work with 6 button keypads. I set them up in the old ISY994 4.x days and then updated to 5.x and now to eisy. They work just fine. The wiki has been updated to how to program them with 5.x firmware and there was a lot of discussion for this method and others elsewhere in the forums (you might need to use Google Site Search as sometimes the forum search doesn't correctly find/show old (possibly archived) threads). https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY994i:INSTEON_Device:FanLinc-KPL_FanLinc_KeypadLinc_Configuration 14 hours ago, Breezyken said: I do see high, medium, and low in the picture, so that is encouraging. I've neve set them as % ranges. The buttons on my keypad are set to High/Medium/Low settings. Then there are scenes that have that. Sadly, because IoX just estimates scene settings in UD Mobile sometimes it just shows the percent (for the fanlinc motor, but the scene for the speed will be active. I don't worry about it. Our fans are usually voice controlled through Echo to change speeds. As long as you have the motor setup as a fan in the portal it works just great. I use programs to keep the keypads in sync (again, goes back to how I set things up originally).
