Ahh missed that. Oh well. I will post a couple I think Ihave settled with that are AC and have receivers
This smaller one for my office which doesnt need a large fan, is AC, and has receiver I can hopefully swap out
and this for the other 2 rooms:
Sorry and this one also:

It doesnt look like the CFN-1010 you listed is comparable either. According to the wiring diagram, the receiver it comes with has additional wires/circuitry for controlling the fan spin direction. This additional circuitry is not present in the Inovelli canopy module. While it may be technically possible to get it to work, it would likely require installing an additional starter capacitor and you would lose the ability to change the fan direction. It is not something I would recommend unless you really know what you are doing.
This one looks comparable.
This one also looks compatible.

Thanks I am done! I think I have winners.
Will my electrician know what to do when replacing the receivers and wiring?
Thanks everyone, this has been so helpful

They should. Just give them both and tell them you want to use the Inovelli canopy module and NOT the remote that comes with the fan.
Thanks Chris!
Two points, and then you can figure out what direction you want to go in:
1 - You’ll recall that @harjms recommended a light kit where you can swap out bulbs. Keep in mind that all LEDs are not compatible with Inovelli dimmers. If you pick fans with fixed light kits, then you’d better hope they’re compatible with the dimmers.
2 - Your electrician may or may not want to perform surgery on your fan. Unless you know him/her well, they will likely want to install the fan as it comes, not modify it. I don’t agree with “they should”.
Thanks Brian, I am hoping that since they are already dimmable that they will work. The problem with lights on contemporary fans is that they are all LED. I couldnt find anything thats not,
I know my electrician well and have sent him manuals for the fans and innovelli as well. What surgery would he need to do on the fan, you mean swap the receiveres they came with the innovelli receiver? That should be fairly simply, and I hope wiring will be clear.
I went wth all same model for all fans with https://www.kichler.com/globalassets/products/documents/instruction-sheets/is-300027-us.pdf - if you have any suggestions for the wiring side I’d pass that on to him as well.
Thanks all,
@sal.occhipinti - This fan will be easy for your electrician to wire. No surgery required. You may need to wire in the Aeotec Bypass, but no telling until you get it wired up and turn on (actually off) to see if the LEDs turn off all the way.
Interesting product, I need to look at it for some other uses where I have flickering lights when dimmed,
Update on this, I went with this product and the switch works perfectly, and no flickering

If a fan is DC and I installed the canopy receiver and the wall switch, what will happen?
You’ll be providing your fan with AC. Potential ruining the motor.
Ok so if I don’t know whether a fan is AC or DC is there a way to tell? How would I know?
Look up the model number or link it here and we’ll try to help ya out.
So I tried looking up the fan on Overstock, which is where we bought it, and Amazon and Walmart and none of the descriptions specify whether it’s AC or DC. Here’s a link to the fan from where we bought it:
The fan name is:
Prominence Home Sivan Farmhouse 52-inch Aged Bronze LED Ceiling Fan
Model # :
50757-12
It came with a remote/receiver that I just didn’t install with it, and instead installed the LZW36 receiver but it’s not functioning how one would expect.
Ok so I looked at the canopy receiver that came with the fan and one of the wires said AC Power Input, so I’m going to guess it’s AC. Also the fan has pull chains, and from what I was reading DC fans usually don’t.
Try removing the canopy and hook up regular with dumb switch. See if fan works normally. Then let’s add the Inovelli. Make sure you leave the pull chain set to HIGH on fan before disconnecting power.
@Michael_SanDiego started a new thread. Let’s pick up there so Sal’s thread doesn’t get hijacked.
