Could you add a product link instead of a picture. It’ll be easier to discover specifications and such.

It has

- Bluetooth
- 2,4GHz remote (sound like proprietary)

Sounds bad… For BLE you need an app that uses the correct BLE services. The remote is probably proprietary, so not useable.

I can’t find any wiring diagrams, so it’s impossible to tell.  
You’d ask the shop or manufacturer for such a diagram I suppose.

Hi  
Thank you  
The sonoff ifan04 will fit but will it work with homey pro? I’ve found a manual online it says it works with everything but don’t believe it really does anyone know if it will work? I’ve added the pic’s of the manual.

The sonoff ifan04 doesn’t work yet with Homey. You’ll have to request for support with the developer of one of the Sonoff apps. Contact info is available @ app page @ homey.app

If it fits doesn’t mean you know which wire should go where?  
That was my concern, Tim: how to connect the Sonoff without a proper wiring diagram of the fan/light unit.

If you are referring to Homey Pro 2023:  
The new experimental firmware promises to clone 433MHz signals. See [here](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-firmware-changelog/).  
I have found no user experiences with this yet, but if it works as suggested, this might be a way to integrate the controller in Homey.
