Thread / Matter Fan Canopy Module | Project Cheryl

I noticed that there are a couple of Beta OTA software builds for this device in the Matter OTA DCL:

Sadly it’s here only and not on the CSA certification list yet.

Is there anything interesting to report on the progress front? I assume that the less-than-stellar rollout of Matter 1.2 w/ Fan support isn’t helping. And matter bindings are another beast entirely. I (like many) am anxiously waiting for this device.

Do these have the capability to reverse polarity internally to change the fan direction? I’d imagine probably not due to a shared neutral internally between the light and fan, but figured I’d ask anyway if it has the internal ability to reverse polarity that just isn’t enabled.

Maybe an idea for v2 instead if nothing else.

Reversing polarity is a DC thing, and these fan modules only support AC motors unless something has changed recently. There is no support to reverse rotation on any Inovelli fan controller AFAIK, because it would require someone to re-wire their fan internally to use the fan’s reversing function…
