Could I use the add-on switch to control this as well. I think that would work, but i can’t seem to see it mentioned anywhere in the thread so far…
Potentially if it is connected to the 2-1 switch; not directly to the canopy. @Eric_Inovelli - is anyone in the beta team have a 3 way setup for the canopy?
It could be done using say a Blue for the light and an add-on connected to the Blue for the fan if the bindings could be done that way.
I guess this is the closest to my scenario. I have dual switches (one light, one fan). I’ll have a blue for the light. I was hoping i could use the add on for the other switch, and hopefully directly bind it to the canopy module… or. worst case like you said bind to the blue 2in1 that is set up with a dual binding like single click, double, etc. I’d like to keep a switch for the fan for the simple operation, hence was hoping i could bind directly between the two. I’d hate to have to put a full 2nd 2in1 into the fan switch slot… seems like a waste of technology/money. we wouldn’t be using anything but the binding/link…
Aux switches don’t have the capability to bind. It’s slightly a bit smarter than a dumb switch. No fancy electronics. However, you could install an aux switch next to your 2-1 and setup scenes for tapping to control fan speeds. But that’s hub dependent.
What is the max fan load rating of this module? On the product page I see
Maximum Load - Fan (Amps): 1.2A
But in the manual I see
2.5 Amps - Not to exceed 2.5A resistive load.

Looks like it says 1.2A fan (inductive) load, or 2.5A resistive load (like a light bulb)…

You mean to tell me you read the manual?! Lol, jk. Thank you for reading it, I spent a lot of time on it. Apparently not enough to catch my mistake though haha.
It should be 1.2A for the fan portion.

There’s a manual?

Read up three posts. It’s linked there.
Sarcasm.

Technically, there is no reason the blue couldn’t be setup to read the aux and the use bindings to turn the fan canopy module on and off when the aux is pressed up and down. Currently this isn’t supported.
Has anyone tested if the unique aux events are sent when an aux is connected and the switch is still set to 1-pole? I’m thinking no, but maybe it still does.

The wiring schematics page is missing the diagrams for multiway switch installation for smart switches. The text says to refer to the diagram, but there is nothing there. Since I am planning to install a pair of the Blue 2-1 switches and just bypass the load on the switches, I don’t think I will have issues, but I would love to see the recommended setup.
Also, the link provided on the “How to Set Up Your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module” for the hubitat instructions doesn’t work. Just leads to a page that says: Short code does not appear to exist.
I just visited the page you linked. There are wiring diagrams for 2-way and 3-way installations on it. Not sure what you were looking at.
If you want more, like 4-ways, go here:
I’m not sure what link you were referring to that is broken, but here is the Hubitat fan switch page:
The diagrams on that page for 3 way installation are for Dumb switches. The bottom of that page includes the instructions for smart switches. As seen in the screen cap below, the text refers to diagrams below that are clearly not there.
And the link to the Hubitat setup you provided is for the Blue Series Fan Switch, not for the Blue Series Fan Canopy Module. The link I was referring to (Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module • Setup Instructions • Hubitat | Inovelli Help Center) was provided in the e-mail I recieved from Inovelli after I purchased the Fan Canopy Module.
Eric would have to confirm, but I don’t think there is a specific canopy module Hubitat setup document, at least there isn’t one on https://help.inovelli.com. So that link may just have been pointing to the canopy manual. That’s just supposition, though.
I just tried all the hub specific links provided in the e-mail and none of them work. The link for the manual and wiring diagram do. Here is a screen cap of the applicable section of the e-mail.
I will admit, I was surprised to get the e-mail this much before the release date (especially since the e-mail is written as if I had already received the product and not just waiting on a pre-order). Could be that I wasn’t supposed to have received this e-mail yet and those pages will be ready once the module is released.
@Eric_Inovelli I’m really glad to hear these are on the way! I’ve been looking forward to finally replacing my Hampton Bay/KoF canopy modules with these!
However, I have a dilemma. Currently, both ceiling fans in my family room are on the same circuit. With the HB’s, I have one module in each canopy and a dumb switch that is always on. This works, but limits me to controlling through hubitat or the remotes for the HBs.
Clearly those remotes are going the way of the dodo when I install these new Canopy modules. So…is it possible to bind a 2in1 switch to both canopy modules simultaneously and control both as 1 fan?
I suspect I can do this in a no-load configuration…orprogramatically in Hubitat but it would be elegant if I could bind them as a matched set!

You may be able to do this as a group binding.

Thanks. I clearly need to read up on Zigbee binding!

P.s. your suggestion led me to this:
Thanks!
