Wait to re-install your fan until after linking the Ceiling Fan Controller.

Add to Insteon Hub

From within the Insteon for Hub app, select Add a Device, and follow the instructions to add a wired-in device. Tip: It doesn’t matter which set button you use when adding it to the Insteon for Hub app. Use the ‘add by ID’ option if necessary.

Warning : Wait to test fan speed controls until after re- installing your fan.

If you do not own the Insteon Hub (2245-xxx), ISY-99, or other Insteon compatible central controller, see the Manual Linking section below. We strongly recommend a central controller for managing Insteon devices, especially for devices not easily accessible after installation such as the Ceiling Fan Controller

Example of the control screen in the Insteon for Hub app. Requires Insteon Hub, sold separately.

Re-install Fan

Carefully remount cowling with Ceiling Fan Controller inside (or in electrical box)
Use the included cable tie to secure Ceiling Fan Controller to the fan’s bracket

Keypad Control

If your fan is controlled by a wall switch, you’ll need to leave it turned on at all times in order for the Ceiling Fan Controller to work OR you can replace the switch with an Insteon Keypad and have control over the fan speeds and lights. We recommend the 6-button keypad (#2334-232).

Wiring: Replace the existing switch with the Insteon Keypad. Place a wire nut over the keypad’s load wire since we want power always being supplied to your Ceiling Fan Controller. Next combine the keypad’s line wire with the power wire and load wire from the switch box. Connect the keypad’s neutral wire together with the other neutral wires in the switch box. If you do not have neutral wires, this will not work. Contact an electrician for assistance.

Programming: Link the keypad buttons to the Ceiling Fan Controller using the Insteon Hub. This can also be done via manual linking, however we strongly recommend using the Insteon Hub or other compatible software. We recommend the large buttons to control the light and the small buttons to control the fan speeds. To finish it off, add the custom ceiling fan button kit (#2322-382)
Keypad Control

Voice Control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant

Control your ceiling fan speed and lights using your voice

Ceiling Fan Controller + Hub
In order to take advantage of voice control capabilities, you must have the Ceiling Fan Controller paired with the Insteon Hub (#2245-222).
Create Scenes
From the Insteon for Hub app, create scenes for each of the fan speeds you wish to control with your voice. For details on this setup, visit insteon.com /get-started-2475f
Tip: scene names will be used to control them via voice so keep them simple (i.e. ”Fan High”, “Fan Medium”).
Link Accounts
Now link your Insteon account to your voice assistant via the voice assistant app (i.e., Amazon Alexa app, Google Assistant app). Follow the voice assistant app to complete the process and you’re done!
