Quick question - does the current version of the switch have the capability to reverse the fan direction? I saw that in the original “Project Hurricane” thread it mentioned that it would be in v2 but wasn’t sure how old that thread was. If this is a future feature, any idea if it will required new h…

@rakeshg - Negative. At this time there’s no way for the V1 can provide reversing. However, it seems to be a hot topic and I’m sure Inovelli is taking notes. @Eric_Inovelli -Just an idea, sell newer canopies (like in a couple years) that will connect to your V1 switches, but can provide some of thes…

So… I just installed my second lzw36 and it only goes backwards. It would really suck if I’m stuck with a fan that only reverses…

Does the fan have a pull chain you can use to change direction?

no, and I didn’t see a switch when installing it, either. The module I replaced had the ability to go forward and reverse from the remote, but it’s all remote controlled.

Can you reconnect the original controller? Measure the voltage for forwards and reverse? Shot in the dark… swap neutral and hot at the fan? A/C motors should run in reverse/forwards when you swap hot and neutral.

I have the original - it would just be hours of work to do all that. I will have to decide how important this is if there isn’t a way to do this via a driver. I’d love for someone from Inovelli to explain whether or not it’s possible to do the ‘easy way’, without taking everything apart, getting o…

What model of fan do you have? I’m not an Inovelli employee, but I can almost guarantee this won’t be resolved via a firmware or driver update. Thus I’d be interested to see what model of fan you were using as there’s usually extra wires to trigger the reversing of the fan.

[image] stu1811: A/C motors should run in reverse/forwards when you swap hot and neutral. I think that you are confusing AC with DC. A DC motor will run in reverse if you swap positive and negative. If you have a portable fan with an AC motor, feel free to turn the wall plug over and see th…

“Switching the polarity of the input voltage will cause a simple DC motor to run in the reverse direction. Switching the starter winding leads will cause a single phase AC motor to run in reverse. A 3 phase motor will run in reverse by switching one leg of the input power.” So it depend…

[image] stu1811: A/C motors should run in reverse/forwards when you swap hot and neutral. No, they won’t. What @vreihen said is correct. [image] stu1811: Switching the starter winding leads will cause a single phase AC motor to run in reverse. That doesn’t mean swap the hot and the n…
