malelan Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 First time I've encountered one of these fans, purchased by client off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q6HSJFW explicitly says control4, but can't find anything in driver database for it, wondering if its under a different name brand. looking at the hardware, looks like it connects via wifi. anyone have any info? nukenerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wow. Thank you. I never heard of these guys but I looked up this manufacturer and their fans look really nice. I chatted online regarding the C4 driver and they gave me a manufacturer tech number to call. Called the number and they emailed me the C4 driver. I am going to order a few of their fans and have my dealer install the driver. May take me a few months to complete, but once I get a few of these fans installed and tested, I will plan to give some feedback. I suspect they had someone write this driver for them. Anyone know who that might be :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejn1 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I've bought many of their lighting products. They make excellent products but haven't tried the fans yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4 User Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Here is the driver the manufacturer emailed me yesterday. If anyone has one of these fans, I would appreciate any feedback on how well this integration works. wac_mf_fan_and_light_controller 070620.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malelan Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Finally got around to getthing this fan installed/programmed. fan connects via ip, and driver works as advertised, no fuss connect ip 2 way control for both fan (6 speed + reverse switch) and led attached light (dimmable) my only complaint would be that the driver doesn't include button link connections so when you try to link them up to the keypad, you need to do this through programming instead of just making the binding in composer.

C4 User Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I recently received and installed two of these fans on my patio (yes, rated for wet locations). They look great, run whisper quiet, and integrate easily with C4. I highly recommend these fans for C4 integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am about to purchase some ceiling fans and I am very interested in using this one but wanted to hear thoughts after using them for a while. Any issues with C4?

I really like these fans and will be installing a few more of them. They run silent other than you can hear the breeze on high. Only downfall is the driver is only one way - meaning if I turn the fans on with the Modern Form app C4 does not recognize their on. I have not yet contacted Modern Forms but do think they may be willing to update their driver if they knew about this issue - just hasn’t floated to the top of my priorities. nukenerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxr Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I have 3 of these fans and have downloaded the driver into composer. I added the IP address in the connection tab. However, I do not know how to populate the field in the advanced properties tab. I have tried using "notify identity" in the actions tab but that doesn't help. What am I doing wrong?

malelan Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I've had no issues with this fan/driver combination since my original post, that being said, it is used in a room that doesn't get a ton of usage. so ymmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this would make the most sense. My installer had put a fan icon that I could favorite - but it only allowed on and off. It looked good with animations and everything, but it didn’t have speed control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing bc they use a basic keypad for control of fans they put it under lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBZICON Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 What C4 light switch needs to be spec’d for Modern Forms fans? As my current fan is AC wired to a C4 fan switch. Would a programmable KCB switch work? As I just need forward direction for High, Med, Low, Off. As the remaining two buttons I would prefer to program for music (on 1 tap/off 2 tap), and the 6th as volume up and down.

I’m not sure what you mean…the modern form fan uses WiFi and connects to Control4 natively. You can then control it via any keypad, app, etc….
