The switch toggles on/off and has 3 preset speeds. With my fan and a VeraLite hub, the speeds are approximately 30%, 60%, and 100%. (Sometimes they actually register as 27, 61, and 100. I don't know why.)Although the app on my phone lets me use a 0-100 slider to fine-tune the speed, I think the fan only spins at the switch's preset intervals. For example, I cannot distinguish a speed difference between 5% and 30%. At 31%, the fan seems to spin at the "60%" rate, and the green LED indicator on the switch jumps to the center position.Green LED position on switch:[x] [ ] [ ] = 0-30%[ ] [x] [ ] = 31-60%[ ] [ ] [x] = 61-100% The switch toggles on/off and has 3 preset speeds.

I believe it's just 3, if u are using smart things there is a slider but I believe it's still just 3, however I would steer clear of this product I had to send mine back several times and they eventually just refunded MOST of my money

As stated below. From the wall switch itself, there are 3 speeds (0, 33, 66,100 or off, low, med, high)From a z-wave switch controller (SmartThing, Vera, HomeSeerer or similar) or Mimo style remote you can go any speed between 0-100% through the software interface.

I'm using this switch with my SmartThings hub. With the switch itself you can select one of 3 speeds and with the SmartThings app I can use a slider to select the speed.

I installed 4 fans 2 each on controller, the manufacturer does not recommend it however they work fine, the draw does not overload controls. For technical info I suggest contacting manufacturer.

I used mine to interface to a zone controller so that would not be available as an option. I did not see any options on the programming of the stat. to control speed any way. My best guess from not seeing that option is that the thermostat would not control the speed but cant say for sure, I am not sure if your air handler has any sensors in it to detect if it needs to change fan speeds without a signal to do so from the thermostat, you could check on what actually controls the speed of the fan your equipment. This thermostat has tons of programming options and is the very best I have ever had or seen, but again I did not see programming options for speed control.

There are three speeds and I would say the Med. was most like a regular fan. �

I asked LEDwholesalers the same question RocPopy, This is there response. "Hello: Sorry, our fans are unlikely to work with fan speed controllers. Regards, LEDwholesalers" That should clear things up for everyone.

You can plug in 3-pin fans in to this and use it to plug 2 fans (2 3-pins or even 1 3-pin + 1 4-pin) in to one motherboard header. You just wont have variable fan speed because the 4th pin is responsible for modulating it.

The fan blows air in one direction. If it's blowing in and you want it to blow out, turn it off, lift it out of the window, turn it around and place back in the window. Controls are on both sides so you can still adjust/turn on/off. You can run 1, 2 or all 3 fans via a switch. There is no speed adjust (slow/fast) but there is a thermostat adjustment.

Not sure....I don't like using variable on fan motors...it tends to give them a short life span....the two speeds are adequate, however I always have it set to high speed.

Yes, it will work just fine. Multi vs. single speed does not matter. If you have a fan/light combo that runs from one switch then one of these will work. If you have separate toggles for the fan and light then you'll need two. Hope this helps.

no problem from getgo all 3 speeds w/ the one I got a couple yrs ago. If u r mechanically inclined check all connections. My speed control switch on low has been finicky a yr ago - no problem since. The medium & high positions really move air. Other choice is return f/ swap. Sorry to hear of this bummer & frustration.

I'm sorry I can't answer that for you, I use it regulate the fan speed on my wood burning stove.

CFM is the best on the market. The problem is that the speed control is LOW quality. You will need to cut off the speed control, and add a cig. lighter plug with fuse. I had 3 fans-speed control broke on ALL of them in just a few months!

n.darwin is correct. The fan has a rotating speed switch that has three speeds on each side of the rotating switch and two off positions that can be turned by hand or by a pull cord .

The fan is 3 speeds in both directions. I have to admit, though, that I never use the "intake" settings.

Hi Barbara, I have that scenario on my porch (2 fans, 1 remote). Although technically you COULD have each fan on a different speed with one remote, it's a little tricky. If you're in the same room with one remote that's programmed to the same frequency as both fans, they tend to both respond to the remote. At my place I always want them in tandem. But yeah I guess you could position the remote in a way that one fan receives the input and not the other. The remotes are really easy to pair with a fan (or fans) by the way. There are simple instructions in the remote manual, and there's no ladder necessary :) Hi Barbara, I have that scenario on my porch (2 fans, 1 remote).

about 1300 watts on fan speed 1 and about 1450 watts on fan speed 10 - I find 3 gives a warmer feeling heat flow than 1 for some reason. anything higher than 5 is just for breeze cooling - too much air movement for heatingOn start-up it briefly spikes to around 1525 for a few seconds -as measured with a Kill-o-WattP3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor

no problem, this porduct have many tools..... its a good item but you need calibrate the fan speed because full fan speed its to much noise.
