@EricM_Inovelli No but if you steer me a little I can try to get up to speed. I’ve got about 30 wzave devices so i probably should. I understand it can be done with either software or a z stick…don’t mind buying a zstick if it is preferred.
Pretty much any USB Z-Wave device will work. You are using SmartThings right? I just put up a KB article on how to upgrade the firmware while using the USB Z-Wave device as a secondary controller (making the process a little easier).
I prefer the z-wave.me one because of its form factor. Some companies advertise an “S2” controller but I had no problem using the Z-wave.me controller to upgrade S2 devices on my SmartThings network. I even used my Z-wave.me stick that I purchased a few years back and it worked fine.
I’ve got mine going great. I am a little rusty on electric motor fields, but overall very comfortable around electricity @jtronicus wiring direction was spot on.
So long as your rewiring was neat, I would have no safety concerns. Regardless, be sure to change battery on smoke detector come Groundhog Day lol
So I am working on an older Casablanca ceiling fan(59512 and fan motor made by Rhine electronics, Model no: N-165M), where there are 3 thin motor wires, Yellow, Red and Grey.
Not automating, but want to use the fan at the highest speed setting while pushing air in downward direction. Trying to see how would I connect a 5mf capacitor to it? Would anyone has any tips in terms of connections? @jtronicus, you are being mentioned everywhere, appreciate your help.
@jtronicus I tested resistance and via continuity test across 3 thin wires, Red, Yellow and Gray. Neither of the windings is short, but values among all 3 readings are showing around 28.
Kind of confused, maybe that is why the motor is NOT rotating, although I can feel a vibration/humming when power is applied to it? Does it also mean it is a DC motor? There is a label on it that states motor is an AC one, confused?
