Making a dumb cooker hood smart

I am trying to automate my 25y old fan.
Purpose: Turn it on remotely as some kind of ventilation system. (one function is enough)
I was think to use a shelly or esphome.

Any ideas?

So I figured out, there are 3 wires going to the fanmotor,
red = going to capacitor
blue = coming from capacitor
black = N?

When I measure over red and black output
1 = 100v
2 = 160v
3 = 230v

So now I want to automate it with a shelly as a ventilation systen
when we are away from home.

I could put a shelly parallel with the output and run it 230v

Hi Messier, we are running a food truck and found exactly this controller box in our cooker hood. However, we do not have any information on the type/manufacterer of the hood. So I have two questions:

  1. Are you still using your equipment or would it be possible to buy the working circuitry from you?
  2. Do you know the manufacturer and type of your hood?

Kind regards and looking forward for your answer. :slight_smile:

Hi Messier1994, thx a lot for your help. :slight_smile: Your post was really the only one pointing to this exact controller, so very much appreciated. :slight_smile: At the moment we are running on one speed (full power…noisy AND cold… :wink: )
