There are 3 different types of fans you can control with PIXIE.
1. Table fans and stand up fans which plug into a PIXIE smart double power point or PIXIE smart plug.
2. Extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens – which can be controlled by any of the PIXIE switches/timers – the Smart timer switch (purple) is especially useful in bathroom as it has timing and schedules
3. Ceiling sweep fans – Both AC and DC fans.
PIXIE controls ceiling fans from specific manufacturers. #
These manufacturers include:
- – Hunter Pacific International DC V2 range
