Smart Fan: How to Create an Automation

Why Create an Automation?

Automations act as customizable shortcuts that allow you to control multiple fan and lighting settings simultaneously. Just like setting a specific mood with colorscaping, creating an automation is the foundation for:

• Schedules: Automatically triggering a specific scene at a certain time. For example, setting the fan to speed 6, the uplight to 50%, and the downlight to 100% every Monday–Friday at 3:00 PM. (Note: You must create an automation first before you can tie it to a schedule).

• Wall Station Presets with WAC Home: Assigning perfect environmental scenes to your physical wall station buttons. For example, Button 1 can dim the downlight to 30% and turn the fan off, while Button 2 turns the light off and blasts the fan at 100%. (Note: You will need to create a separate automation for each button).

• One-Tap App Controls: Seamlessly launching your favorite fan and light combinations with a single tap inside the app.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Open the MyWAC app and go to the Fixtures screen.

2. Tap the + icon (top right), then tap Automations.

3. Enter a clear name for the automation.

4. Tap Fixtures & Groups.

5. Tap the icon on the left of the fixture (not just the checkbox).
   NOTE: Fan and Motor Automations will need to be separate. 

6. Turn it on and set your desired fan speed, direction, and light levels.

7. Tap the back arrow and confirm the checkmark appears.

8. Tap Save.

To test it, go to the Automations tab and tap the automation. Your fan and lights should adjust immediately.
