Nuttycomputer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hey Everyone, Installed a Fanlinc a few days ago in the bedroom. Nice product that I've had minor issues (mostly due to it being a Responder Only Device), but that is another forum topic. I also found I should have read one of the other reviews that talked about how bright the LEDs were and taped them before I got the fan back together. However, one of the reviews on the smarthome webpage indicated houselinc allows you to turn these bright LEDs off. Can anyone confirm this and can we add this to the ISY? I really don't want to pull the fan apart again and would wait a few weeks for that functionality versus doing that. Link to comment
Xathros Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'd really like to know as well. I DID tape over the LEDs on mine but can still see the red glow leaking out of the fan housing. The FanLinc is white plastic which allows the light to transmit through its body some distance from the LEDs (more than I could see in daylight). If I could turn the LEDs off, that would be great. I don't understand why ON is the default state for the LEDs on a hidden device anyway. I can see blink on activity for diagnostic purposes but always on doesn't make sense to me. -Xathros Link to comment

LeeG Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 FanLinc LEDs can be turned On/Off programmatically. Link to comment
Xathros Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 FanLinc LEDs can be turned On/Off programmatically. Lee- Excellent news! It appears however, that the ISY is not currently capable of this as I see no way to change the FanLinc LEDs via options, scene or direct command within a program. Am I just missing it somewhere ? Thanks. -Xathros Link to comment
LeeG Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You have not missed it. The FanLinc options are not supported yet. Link to comment
Xathros Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Cool. More ISY goodness still to come. Thanks for all the good info Lee. -X Link to comment
