Each device has its own features, including yours. That's why an "advanced settings" section is available on the settings page. The list is provided below.

Here are your device's advanced features:

  1. Rotation direction: This feature allows you to change the direction in which your fan rotates.
    Flèche Enki 20px.png Summer : counterclockwise rotation → downward airflow, providing a cooling sensation
    Flèche Enki 20px.png Winter : clockwise rotation → warm air accumulated at the ceiling is redistributed downward
It is recommended to turn off the fan before reversing its rotation.
You can save a lot of energy by using a fan 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 feature guides you through connecting 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.

The complete description of this feature can be found in another article. See the product sheet:  Inspire ceiling fans - Product sheets.
