Fan & Light Switch (Project Hurricane)

Hey @Arib0nd – first, thanks for commenting and welcome to the community! Yeah, we definitely are making a standalone fan switch (that you can use in conjunction with a dimmer switch if you’d prefer for the lights of your fan). We’ve kicked off the project of the standalone fan switch, but most resources are going towards the fan/light switch at this point because it’s our #1 most requested product and there’s nothing else out there.

However, you bring up an interesting point around creating a fan/dimmer switch with two separate lines coming into the box. I wonder if the switch could be modified to give people the option of using one line vs two (similar to how we created our dimmer switch to allow you to either use the neutral wire or not).

Let me run this by the manufacturer – I’m sure it will be too late to change any physical appearance for this round without significantly impacting the launch date, but it could be a v2.0 version for sure.

I’m going to add this to the project above for us to explore as I think it’s a cool idea that we didn’t even consider.

Appreciate the input and have an awesome day – I’ll keep you posted!

EDIT 08/19/19: I’m still pushing the team – the design as stands requires a neutral and line wire to the switch and then the switch will communicate via RF to the module. Adding in this upgrade will make it so that we have to add two additional terminals and redesign the PCB board. I really want this in V1, but you know how those R&D folks can get :slight_smile:
