Here are your device’s advanced features:

  1. Rotation direction: This function allows you to change the rotation direction of your fan.
    Flèche Enki 20px.png Summer: counterclockwise rotation → downward airflow, providing a cooling sensation
    Flèche Enki 20px.png Winter: clockwise rotation → redistributes warm air accumulated at the ceiling downward
⚠ It is recommended to turn off the fan before reversing its rotation.
Significant energy savings are possible by using a fan in combination with heating or air conditioning. This combination optimizes the distribution of warm or cool air, ensuring optimal comfort while reducing energy consumption.

2. Change Wi-Fi network: This function guides you to connect your device to another Wi-Fi network.

Useful if your network has changed (SSID, password, router) or if you simply want to use another network.

A full description of this function is available in another article. Please consult the product sheet:  Inspire Ceiling Fans - Product Sheets.
