Is there any easy way to put a fan speed control on this?

Hmm.. I would have said no due to the size of the motor but if you search Amazon for fan speed controller they have at least one that will handle up to 15 amps

No, this fan is not designed to use with a speed control, it is On/Off only. There is a temperature/humidity control unit that works with this fan that works well, but no speed control.

Some fans you can buy a regular fan speed three way switch. You can buy those at Lowes or Home Depot. It is a ceiling fan three way replacement switch. Some brands of fans you cannot. But hopefully in your case you can get a replacement switch. They are not hard to change. In most cases it is only two wires, a black and white wire. Hope you have success in your project, and have an awesome day.

I was looking back and the fan that you are talking about we have a regular switch that you would turn on and off lights. That switch is very simple to change. Two wires, black wires. the hot side of the power. The white wire will not be on that switch. Make sure the power supply is off when making this repair.

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

Is there a solution out there that allows independent signal flow and speed control through fan splitter cables? I sure hope so..

No, I actually came across doing this and a these "speed controller" control current where as a variac (which controls voltage) is what you need to control heat. I wound up using my router speed controller for a shop fan. And got a variac for my heater.

I got it because it was an easy way to turn cooling fans on and off automatically. My old receiver had switched power outlets in back, but I need something smaller and the new one doesn't. This was the easiest and least expensive way to control the fans. Since it has more than one plug controlled, I plugged my two subwoofer amps into it. They don't use a lot at idle. I can't say how much power savings I'm getting, but that was not the primary reason that I this.

No you cannot. I have my fan remote in front of me and there are 5 buttons on it total. 3 for speed, 1 for power, and 1 for the light (optional). You have to manually reverse the airflow via a switch that is on the fan itself. Hope this helps!

A variable temperature one. And that doesn't mean one with just a high & low fan speed. Get one with an adjustable thermostat.

While looking at Lutron.com, I did see controls for two fans. That is what they are specifically for.

No, But it is common to purchase a speed controller for a fan such as this.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

There is a switch available via Home Depot (and similar stores, I'm sure) that will control fan speed and light dimmer via a wall switch. It is about $50. I'm using it and it works fine.
829611
Yes, there is a specific button on top of the fan that controls this (and one on the remote).

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

No. The current and resistance is non-linear and the fan requires full voltage. The type of control you would need is one that does not provide variable resistance but rather a temperature activated relay for full "on" and full "off" as temperature changes.

You can easily turn it on/off manually. When the fan is running it will only stay on for the set time interval.

I set my fan on max and then removed the chains from it as this controller works great at controlling the speed of the fan from low to high. It has 4 speeds instead of the 3 most fans come with.

When the fan was installed the electrician mentioned a lot of options about how it could be wired. We went the simplest route. We do nothave a timer feature. It is possible that was one of the options.

Yes, ours is controlled by the variable speed switch from our old fan. Threw the remote away. Electrician did the install.
