Zigbee Fan Canopy Module | Project Cheryl

To me, it is counter-intuitive to adjust fan speed or light intensity on the left. As I don’t have great photo editing skill, I won’t even try to show what I mean but maybe grooves12 could do a mockup?

If you read up about 10 posts in the thread, you will see a mockup with the rockers on the right, which I think is what you are referring to.

Either way, I think Inovelli’s intent is to make it configurable either way.

Yes but the mockup you are referring to still have the led on the left. What I was adding is to put a split led bar on the right of the rockers to keep a similar look to the other Inovelli switch like the 2-1.

@ehfortin

When used with the 2-1 in Zigbee binding, does it imply you don’t need a hub?

Both “ends” need to be on the same zigbee controller/hub and the binding needs to be set/established on that controller/hub. Once the binding is in place, then it’ll work even if the controller/hub is offline.

@ehfortin

Using a hub that support both zigbee and Zwave, is it possible to mix a 2-1 ZWave switch with the zigbee canopy module?

Sure, it can work fine overall but binding/direct-association is not possible between ZW and ZB.

So a solid on/off button on the left, and then the up/down buttons on the right would have the led bar? I think this is how I would prefer it as well

It’s almost a drum pad machine at this point.

Think it’s too late to ask for a little speaker on the board and a “game mode” in the firmware? LOL

I’m pretty sure my mother-in-law and my mom won’t figure how to manage the lights and the fan with that option

Glad you did, I pre-ordered 2

I would love to test this! I have(had) 2 of the LZW36 units…one still works, but the one with higher use the fan controller died. The wall switches are both still linked to SmarthThings, which I’m interested in potientially using as triggers or “if-then” routines to control this Zigbee module. But I’m in a little different situation in that I’m also in the middle of a transition to a Homeseer HomeTroller Pro with Z-Wave and Zigbee modules. The SmartThings transition to Edge drivers missed the boat with a Zooz LED controller I’m using for under-counter lighting, so it’s just a matter of time to completely switch over. Regardless, I can test this module with both SmartThings and the HomeTroller Pro hubs. In the interim, I did buy a WiFi controller module from Amazon that gets me fan and light control through the SmartLife app (Tuya, SmartLife, same, same). But I would prefer to re-integrate into my hub to trigger “away” geofencing actions, so either way I’m eager for the full release of this module.

Cheers!
