I have 5 of these DC ceiling fans.
They have fan speed 1-6
Light on and off
Toggle yellow or bluer light
Some allow to adjust the led brightness
A reverse winter option
Does anyone know of any projects using esp32-h2 with ZigBee or esp32 over wifi to replace these controller?
I feel like I can’t be the only one in this situation.
Ideally I would buy something off the shelf but all the solutions seem to be for AC fans and don’t tend to be able to control the lights.

Make, model, remote control?

Each fan has a different make and model but they all seem to share the same or nearly same electronics with cosmetic differences.
The last fan I bought was an “Aurum Africa”
I tried to detect the controller codes at 433mhz in the past but was not able to read/send codes to them

Did you read the part numbers on the electrical components?
A chip might look the same, but a single different letter or number can mean it is a completely different way the chip works.

I did not disassemble the controllers.
This is the controller in at least one of my fans.

Mine appears to be 2.4ghz and use a BK2535
I didn’t find a solution yet
Hi,
any further luck with your ceiling fan yet?
I can't find out what signal it is...

I didn't find any way to interface with them. What I did notice is that there are a number of fans coming out, being sold by AliExpress that use Bluetooth via an app for control.
There is a popular hacs add-on that apparently works with many of them. I am still waiting for my new fan with Bluetooth to arrive:)
