@danone Hi Danone, I came across you post about using 3 relays (2 fibaros) for your ceiling fans on the old forums. > **[Best device to control an AC ceiling fan?](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/4139/best-device-to-control-an-ac-ceiling-fan)** > > Just wonder if I can pick up anyone's brain here. Is that solution still working for you? Would you mind detailing it abit further? I had thought of a similar solution at about the same time you did, however never went ahead with it. I have 5 ceiling fans in Aus that are all the capacitor 3 switch style. How does your solution work for if you switch manually and change it via zwave or vice versa? Any major trouble a year on? I was also looking at this solution but actually seems less clean over two double relays(I have separate switched lights in some of the fans) [https://www.livehouseautomation.com.au/blogs/news/z-wave-3-speed-ac-ceiling-fan-control-using-0-10v-relays&ved=2ahUKEwiQyujn2vneAhUDy7wKHfDBAZMQFjABegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw0I5UPwzezao-bGr-QOBI9p](https://www.livehouseautomation.com.au/blogs/news/z-wave-3-speed-ac-ceiling-fan-control-using-0-10v-relays&ved=2ahUKEwiQyujn2vneAhUDy7wKHfDBAZMQFjABegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw0I5UPwzezao-bGr-QOBI9p) Very interested to hear your views. ---

Welcome @Pasoth I’m sure that @danone will get back to you, in the mean time did you see these more recent threads? > [@Controls ceiling fan with fibaro dimmer ? (or any other way by Homey )](https://community.homey.app/t/controls-ceiling-fan-with-fibaro-dimmer-or-any-other-way-by-homey/3295/10): > > Gidday Danone Did you get this working. I’ve got a few 3 speed fans that I’ve been trying to work out a solution for. I found the sonoff ifan02 but I’m not sure if it will send the correct values to the fan. I originally replaced my switches with Clipsal Saturn range and fan controllers which I had then hooked to a fibaro on/off switch but the speed selection never worked which is logical. Im keen to get the speeds working. From what I’ve read the controller sends different specific voltage o… > [@Automate humidity sensor and fan](https://community.homey.app/t/automate-humidity-sensor-and-fan/518/4): > > I have installed a Xiaomi Humidity sensor in the bathroom that triggers a flow that puts on the ventilation with a KUKA on/off. In combination with the app ‘countdown’ the ventilation stays on when the humidity is above 70%, evertime the humidity changes and it’s still above 70% the countdown will expand the ‘on-time’ with 5 minutes.

Cheers for links @Jamie Haven’t searched here much as I joined the old forums, then joined here just to ask Danone lol. I will have a deeper look when l get off my phone. ---

Wemo light swtiches can be used and work really well. They are not currently selling at retailers in Aus but you see them on ebay. ---

Hi @Pasoth , as @Jamie wrote above, check my post here on the new forum. The fan control works excellent for over a year now! Using the hardware and flows described in my post. If you also have a light, than you would need indeed one more device. (more expensive, but the more powered devices you have, the merrier z-wave mesh will be 😀) It looks like you also have the right fans and capacitors, so go for it and looking forward to hear from you with the final result! Don’t hesitate to ask questions… ---

Thanks, I have shifted my question to [Danone’s other thread](https://community.homey.app/t/controls-ceiling-fan-with-fibaro-dimmer-or-any-other-way-by-homey/3295)
