Blue Fan Control Max Speed Like Dumb Switch Medium Speed

Switches General Discussion

I’ve chosen the Inovelli fan control switches as the switches to replace my existing fan switches, and after installing three of them I’ve paused to see if Ican find a solution to a problem I’m seeing. I can definitely tell that the fan with the Inovelli switch is not taking the fan up to max speed. I have two rooms I can compare side-by-side, and the Inovelli switch is like the medium Speed with the dumb switch. It’s there a setting I need to adjust?

Switch model: VZM35-SN
Setup: Homeassistant with Zigber2MQTT (SLZB-06 coordinator) using the Mosquito broker.
Settings adjusted in Homeassistant:
Single Pole
Fan

I’ve verified the max speed is not lowered. I’ve also updated the firmware on the switch.

Edit:
Switch is installed with neutral wiring, and should be able to handle 2.5A. Lights are installed on a separate switch. This fan is rated to require 30W at high speed, which is 0.25A.

Neutral or non-neutral installation?

This is with Neutral…

I was not aware this model could be installed without a neutral.

It can be, for ceiling fans. I was asking because with a non-neutral, you lose the high speed.

No problem. I double checked and yes, I see it now. I guess I was concentrating on whether it would work for my fan in the first place.

The switch is installed with neutral wiring, and should be able to handle 2.5A. Lights are installed on a separate switch. This fan is rated to require 30W at high speed, which is 0.25A on this 120V circuit.

What I would like to see in Inovelli’s FAQ stack is an example on changing the three speeds for a ceiling fan. I’m not quite clear on the Parameters page text on how this might be done. Take the easy approach and use a neutral wire setup with a basic dumb three speed fan with the pull chain set to high. Lights on their own switch. My current beef is that low is way to high (33%).
