Timeline for How to wire a capacitor together with a Zigbee fan controller? Do I need the capacitor at all?

| Mar 28 at 19:08 | comment | added | MOSFET | @Gatonito Yes, both the capacitors and the speed controller regulate the speed. Both can be used together. Normally, you leave the fan set to its highest speed and do the speed adjusting with the controller. You just have to connect the fan to the controller in whatever configuration provides the max speed. The controller takes care of the rest. You need to provide additional information if that is not clear cause I don't have any specific information on your fan or your current wiring set up. | |
