Hey Gang! Finally getting around to installing my HS devices. I think I'm at the addicted stage. I have a ceiling fan in my family room. As I recall, the sales rep told me I can use the WD-100 for fans. Is this correct? Thanks!

Under the Warning Section it says do not install on a motor controlled appliance. http://ozw.my-ho.st/DragonTech/dragontech-wd100.pdf

Gotcha. I missed that as I'm not yet the proud owner of any HS switches and familiar with the jargon. Because they're out of stock until the judgement!Originally posted by rpradeThere is no rhyme or reason to the anarchy a defective Z-Wave device can cause

HomeSeer Wall Dimmers & Switches
So...
The The HS-WS100+ switch will work to control a fan based on speed triggers? I am currently on the final 2 weeks of a home install and we are about to install fans in the house. Will this HS switch perform the necessary task, and can it provide multiple stages to support different fan speeds? Please advise for some clarity. I greatly appreciated the participation on this forum.

Fan and Light Cobtrol
Any suggestions to control a fan that also has a light? Currently the 3 fan speeds and the light are controlled with an IR remote that hangs on the wall and the main switch on the wall just turn the power to the fan on and off. I can't find any z-wave device that will control both the fan and the light at the same time. Any help with this is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Use two switches next to each other. One for fan one for lights. I have been using the HS new dimmer on the lights and for multispeed on the fan use the GE Fan switch.
It would also be more helpful if you told us what your current setup is. Do you have a double switch now or just one? Is there a single or double gang box?

Another option, though not as easy to manually control, would be to use one of the aeon micro switches or dimmers on the light. They can be tossed up in the fan housing. Though I would recommend more so the double switch by expanding the gang box (not that hard, youtube is your friend here for details).
That being said, unless they ran romex with 5 wires in it (hot,neutral,ground,fan,light), the double gang will be of no use.
