My question is, will this Enbrighten Fan Switch replace the Casablanca switch? I cannot seem to find much information about it. Would you also happen to know if you can reverse fan direction with this switch?
Do you have any recommendations for a different fan switch?
You can probably replace the switch since you don’t have a light on the fan, IF you have a neutral wire in the switch box. No, it won’t control direction- it is just on-off.
You could get creative with a Z-Wave SPDT relay if your electrical knowledge is up to the task.
I had a (newer model) Casablanca Inteli-Touch unit go bad, and I replaced it (both the wall unit and the control board inside the fan housing) with a product from Fan Man Lighting.
Since they use MinkaAire controllers in their conversions, that meant I could now control the fan through a Bond Bridge and the Bond integration. That opened up a world of options for me to have full control of the fan remotely.
I’m not saying this is the best approach - I just stumbled into it after I replaced the broken unit - but it does work pretty well.
Unfortunately the fan is in a hard-to-get-to spot so I need the switch to be able to reverse it. I have some very basic electrial skills, but not enough to install a relay.
