WAC fan question

Anyone know if that fan is compatible with Control4?  I see that it is "smart" with integration to alexa etc, but not sure if that means it also will work with the Control4 WAC-Modern Forms IP driver or if there is a different flavor required for that (or has to be Modern Forms)?

I would presume so but will check with my local integrator.  They are doing a WAC Lighiting (manufacturer of this fan) project here and integrating with ELAN.  Will see what I can find out.

this looks to be the fan you're referring to and has integrations with Control4.  Please see link below and attachment showing Josh & Control4 integrations.  Not sure where they store the driver

I don't know if this particular fan uses the same WiFi module / driver as the other Modern Forms (WAC) fans but, if it does, I have some experience.  I have ~12 of them.  I don't want to bad mouth them, as my issues may be specific to my network/setup, but the fans tend to go "offline" periodically and require a power cycle from breaker or factory reset to get them back behaving.  Sometimes they completely drop off WiFi (can't ping) and sometimes they show as "on the network" but don't respond to commands from C4 driver and/or native WAC phone app.  They provided a new C4 driver, which bricked my controller.  No joke-- restore from backup situation.   Anyway,  just my experience.  I have heard that people like Big Ass Fans--  I wonder if they are more bullet proof.
