AshMania Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Hello I am thinking of installing the Mike Aire Roto XL 62" ceiling fan (Link to Mike Aire Roto XL Spec Sheet) Will this integrate with the C4 fan speed controller natively? Or do I need some other way of integration (Bond Bridge / additional drivers / etc.)? I don't need a remote - a wall switch will do, but do I need a Minka Aire wall control (WC115) in addition to the C4 control (fan control or regular keypad)? If I do need the Minka wall control, I'd prefer the C4 integration to be bi-directional, so that there is no confusion between the 2 control options.

Cyknight Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Should work just fine - and no you won't need their own wall control (indeed, that's what you'll be replacing the C4 one with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olichops Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I have Minka through the house. The indoor ones usually have a seperate speed controller at the wiring connection cup. Don't use it and instead use the C4 speed controller. Now the outside ones have the controller built in the motor. Set it to Hi on the Minka remote and use C4 controller. Not ideal on the outside as I have had the speed lost once and a built in controller die requiring a new fan under the lifetime warranty on the motor.

I am considering the indoor ones - so, swapping their controller with the C4 one would be ideal. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olichops Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Both will work just having 2 contollers in the chain could cuase an issue later. In The outdoor set up you will not have fine control over speed, like high, med and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 To be clear - for my initial post I actually looked up the install sheet (vs the inked data sheet) and for the ones mentioned in OP specifically, it's a plain fan, with the speed controller being a standard line voltage wiring setup - so it's a direct simple replacement to put the C4 one in it's place.

GregCAMS Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 installed Minka Aire indoors and outdoors. The C4 Fan Speed Controllers work great and no issues whatsoever within the controllers, keypads, and other C4 interfaces. Simple/straightforward with keypad on one circuit for the speeds/off and another ciruit for the fan light as part of another keypad next to it in a dual gang configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
