Pull chain fan conversion, need ideas

Hi

i have one of these pull chain fans, 1 chain for speed and one for light and a reverse switch

what is the most simple way to convert it with minimal coding and modding?

https://itead.cc/product/sonoff-ifan03-wi-fi-ceiling-fan-and-light-controller/ look ok, it can do the speed and light but not the reverse switch, and the fan will be mounted to high up that i cant reach it so would need something that can do that too

shows its easy if you dont need the reverse switch, but i think that can be done with a simple relay

If were talking about physical reverse switches, they are usually hardwired to the motor unit in a way that it’s not easy to tie into them.

The lights and switch have a junction point already available. e.g. when you assemble the fan the light portion is separate and has some sort of connector.

You’re not likely to find an off the shelf controller that will have a reverse switch. You’ll need to set up something with a relay and esphome/tasmota.

I haven’t done mine, but is planning to go for ifan04.
