Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to use of RF and WiFi control in a fan device to control fan status and speed and/or fan light on/off status and intensity. A customer premises includes a WiFi router through which WiFi communications can be sent from a WiFi capable device, e.g., a cell phone, to control the fan device and its various functions. While WiFi control is via a WiFi router in the home, the control signals normally do not traverse the Internet or another external network. In addition to WiFi control, control of the fan device can be via an RF control device, e.g., a wall mounted controller. In some embodiments, the fan device reports its state and/or changes in state due to received commands to a server, and the server generates a recommended normal control schedule and an away control schedule and then uses the schedules to control fan device.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling fan system operation including one or more fan devices that include a DC fan motor and circuitry for powering and controlling the DC fan motor so that it provides smooth operation without being off kilter in time or speed when multiple fan devices powered from the same AC power supply line are started concurrently. An exemplary system includes one or more fan devices including a DC fan motor, an AC power interface circuit that provides AC filter power to a DC power supply circuit that provides power to the DC fan motor. The AC power interface circuit including: AC signal and ground input connections, an AC filtering circuit, and AC signal output connections. The DC fan motor may be brushless without an optical sensor and the AC filtering circuit may include: a varistor, a common mode choke, an X capacitor, and two Y capacitors.

Abstract: A controller with an RF interface is used to control a fan device which includes a fan motor and may also include a lighting device. The controller in some embodiments is in the form of a wall control module which may be mounted in a standard electrical wall box in a room in which the fan device to be controlled is located. To simplify installation and avoid the need for more than the normal 120 v power line used to power an outlet of light, from a 120V AC prospective the controller acts as a simple pass through device through which AC power is supplied to the fan device unit. As a safety, the controller includes an AC disconnect which can be used to cut all power to the fan unit.
