The smart controller fits directly into the wiring you already have. The same black and white wires that normally run from your fan to the fuse panel simply pass through the controller using built-in screw terminals. No extra wire runs needed.
To communicate with the fan, the controller connects using the existing port on the fan itself. Ethernet for Deluxe models and a phone cable for Plus models. You select your fan type when ordering, and we solder the correct connector onto the board for you. All that’s left to do is plug in the cable and power it up.
Made by fellow travelers
VanTurtle started as a DIY project for our own van. We wanted better control over our MaxxAir fans, so we built a digital controller and tied it into the small computer that was already running Home Assistant for us. After building that, we heard the same thing over and over: “This is great, but I don’t want to program anything.” So we took what we had learned and turned it into this smart controller. It’s the same core idea, just made simpler and easier to use.
