Simply Automated UPB 3-Speed Fan Controller Base (UCQF) / Home Automation Lighting ControlYou can enable UPB Universal Powerline Bus, Simply Automated, home automation, lighting control, remote control and local control for a ceiling fan with the Simply Automated UPB 3-Speed Fan Controller Base. This base installs in a single-gang box or tabletop pedestal and hard-wires to your fan, providing four button control (High, Medium, Low, Off) either at the base or with a UPB-compatible remote control. The UPB 3-Speed Fan Controller Base offers quiet fan speed operation by using a capacitive speed control circuit. It controls hard-wired fans up to 2.5 Amps. How It Works: The controller base combines with a 4-button Faceplate (sold separately) to deliver a complete fan speed control solution. The faceplate comes in six different colors (Almond, Black, Brown, Ivory, Light Almond or White) and easily snaps onto the base. Each button on the base features a status LED to indicate the fan’s current speed. Custom labels are also available to help you identify your custom scenes. The controller is programmed using UPStart software, which is included for first-time UPB users. Through the software, you can choose how the base will control your connected load(s). You have the option of using the bottom On/Off button to control a lighting load up to 300W instead of the connected fan. The base can also transmit and receive UPB scene commands for control over, or integration into, a home automation scene. FEATURES: Provides High, Medium, Low and Off fan speed control. Transmits and responds to UPB commands (individual or scene). Status LEDs indicate fan speed/scene link status. Bottom button optionally controls lighting up to 300W. Required faceplate available in six different colors. NOTE: Must be installed into an electrical junction box or a Simply Automated Tabletop Pedestal (sold separately). The base also requires a 4-button Faceplate (sold separately).

The Simply Automated UPB 3-Speed Fan Controller Base is such an adaptable product with its faceplate variations (I’m a light almond person), customizable labels and use of UPStart software! Definitely a great product.
Hello Roger. Thank you for your comments. Simply Automated takes great pride being an industry leader in the lighting control home automation marketplace. The 3-Speed Fan Controller Switch was designed to be a simple and easy option when controlling a fan and not having to run new wiring.
I agree! I recently did some renovations in my home and am incredibly pleased with the reliability of the Simply Automated lighting control products! Besides the fan controller, I added 6 other dimmer switches. I am now able to push a button and have lighting in 3 rooms come on, in different modes (scenes), I set to a low dim, mid-dim, and ‘all on’ for security. I want to add the design of the switches are very accommodating and well built, not like the many other toylike alternatives around.
