Product Overview
The SONOFF iFan04 is a sophisticated Wi-Fi smart controller designed to upgrade your existing ceiling fan with light into a smart device. By replacing the traditional wall switch or remote control, this device allows you to manage your fan speed and light brightness remotely via the eWeLink app. It is an ideal solution for modernizing home comfort, providing convenience through smartphone control, voice commands, and automated scheduling.
Safety Precautions
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. Before starting, always turn off the power supply at the main circuit breaker to prevent electric shock. Ensure that the device is installed in a dry, indoor environment and is not exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures. Do not attempt to modify the internal circuitry, as this may void the warranty and create fire hazards.
Installation and Wiring
The installation process involves connecting the iFan04 controller between your power source and the ceiling fan unit. Carefully follow the wiring diagram provided in the manual to ensure the live, neutral, and ground wires are correctly matched. The controller is designed to fit within the canopy of most standard ceiling fans. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with electrical tape or wire nuts before restoring power.

App Setup and Configuration
To enable smart features, download the eWeLink app from the App Store or Google Play. Once installed, power on the device and ensure it is in pairing mode. Follow the in-app instructions to add the iFan04 to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can rename your device, share control with family members, and set up smart scenes or timers. The device supports voice control integration with popular smart home platforms, allowing you to adjust fan speeds or toggle lights using simple voice commands.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular maintenance involves checking the wiring connections periodically to ensure they remain tight. If the device becomes unresponsive, verify your Wi-Fi connection and ensure the power supply is active. If the device fails to pair, perform a factory reset by holding the pairing button for several seconds until the LED indicator flashes. For persistent issues, consult the troubleshooting section or contact professional support. Always dispose of electronic waste according to local environmental regulations to minimize ecological impact.
