Ceiling Fan and Light Control Module

This is my 5th, 6th, and 7th, module purchase since 2016. I choose to install these along with Insteon's 6 button dimmer keypad and keypad button kit for fans over oem solutions, for consistency and flexibility. I have also paired with Insteon's mini-remotes. I have installed in hugger and down rod fans. I found installing in a down rod fan can typically be easier, since the module can fit thru the U bracket vs getting attached to the side of the backet. I use a 3rd party controller and preconfigure the module and the keypad/min-remote on the bench before installing. All my modules purchased and installed since 2016 are still working. They provide independent light and fan speed control for installations with only 3 wire runs (14-2 w/g), eliminate chain pulls, and provide both light and fan switch flexibility.

Ceiling Fan and Light Control Module

I've had Insteon controllers in my house for over 15 years. Initially used the Houselinc software for control, bypassed the hubs after a quick trial, and now use Home Assistant for control. The fan controllers have been installed on all of my ceiling fans that are indoors (5 of them). They have worked very well on fans that have a switch on the fan body to reverse them, but not so well on fans where the 'reverse' mode in controlled by a remote. They also worked well with fans with incandescent bulbs, and now with fans that have dimmable LED bulbs; but the ones that had 'dimmable' flourescent bulbs did not work well (only on or off). All of these fans have 3 wires coming from the fan housing (one for fan power, one for light power and then the neutral wire). I just acquired a new ceiling fan that has a remote and a different controller with only 2 wires from the controller to the fan. Seems to be some sort of digital signaling and perhaps A/C to D/C power conversion in the fan controller. So I don't think the Insteon is going to work for this.

I had an issue where two different fan link modules would not shut off the fan.
Tech support was very disappointing.
Had to scrap two fan links and six button seitches. Went with a different company, everything working fine now.
Insteon support is sure not what it once was.. beware

Limited instructions. Like playing a video game to set up with multiple small buttons. It works, and I don't know why.

I have a beautiful 40 year old Casablanca Victorian Fan that has served us many years over 4 residences. I originally paid $425 at a home show for it in 1983, REALLY well-made fan, so I was not willing to just throw it in the trash! Finally the Intellitouch receiver stopped working, and the Intellitouch replacement parts are scarce to nonexistent. I was able to strip the old Intellitouch controller from the fan and light, I installed a capacitor inline with the motor, and a Fanlinc mounted to the old aluminum bracket of the Intellitouch board. The fan is back in service with 3 speeds that work perfectly (who needs 6 speeds anyway??) I linked it with my alexa echo system for perfect convenience- Fanlinc comes through!

Another great Insteon product.
This fan controller is one of many I have - a replacement for one that got submerged and died during a roof leak.
I have approaching 100 Insteon devices and always recommend them to others. Good that the company is back in action!

Great!

Easy physical install..... NOT so easy programming. The problem is based on what type of auto-software you are using. Implementation is very different for different platforms... and the docs available are few and far between.

I purchased two fans for a covered patio with 11ft ceiling. I bought them without controls as I already new Insteon would solve my problem. I wanted the ability to control both fans from one wall switch and a remote. The fan and light controllers, coupled with a 6 button wall switch, 8 button remote configured for 4 buttons, and hub provided the solution. I was able to easily link the devices using the Director app and they install perfectly inside the fan cowls making them invisible. I scheduled them to come on low automatically at dawn and go off before retiring for the evening. My wife loves the ability to control both fans from one switch or remote! We have been spending more time outdoors on the patio now thanks to the ability of controlling the fans using Insteon.

I have five Insteon fan controllers throughout my house, and they have met my expectations in terms of functionality and ease of use. Setting up these controllers was straightforward. Once installed, they have performed flawlessly, providing convenient control over the ceiling fans in various rooms.

One area where the Insteon website could improve is providing more detailed information about compatibility. It would be beneficial if the product description explicitly stated the types of ceiling fans it is compatible with, including those with chain pulls, to avoid any confusion during the purchasing process.

Another aspect that could use more coverage is the programming capabilities of both the fan controllers and the keypads. While I found the setup intuitive overall, having detailed up-to-date instructions on programming different fan speeds and integrating them with Insteon keypads would be beneficial for users who want to fully customize their home automation setup.

Overall, I am highly satisfied with the Insteon fan controllers. They have proven to be reliable, versatile, and a great addition to my smart home setup. If you're looking for an easy-to-install solution to upgrade your ceiling fan controls, I would definitely recommend considering Insteon.

I used this to replace an old fan link device that recently went out. This new device will not work with the light bulbs that I have and keeps shutting off. Had to take one of the three light bulbs out in order to get the device to work regularly. It shouldn't have had any issue as it is replacing the same device.

Insteon products have changed my life. My entire home is automated and tied to my Alexa system, which I control by voice. I even use the Alexa system in my car to control things when I'm not home. I could not be happier!

I have a few of these in the house. They tend to die more frequent than expected, and have to be replaced every 4-5 years. Also the tech and size hasn't changed in decades. I wish the controller itself was a bit smaller, as it almost doesn't fit inside the fan housing without cramming everything into the hole. For the price point, I expect better quality. A decrease in size, and increase in efficiency and longevity would be greatly appreciated.

I now have 3 of these units in my home. The remote units that came with my fans were subject to turning on and off at random. I'm not sure what frequency they were on, but once I converted 2 of these 3 fans to Insteon there were no more false trips. This year I finally converted the third fan to Insteon. What a joy to now be able to dim the light and control the fan speed just using a couple of buttons on my Mini-Remote!

I quickly replaced an existing non-insteon ceiling/light control with this unit. After installation, configuration with Insteon hub was quick and easy.
