Silent touch fan control for your Vihan plate
Overview
Modular Touch Fan Dimmer Vpro
The Beakn Modular Touch Fan Dimmer RPro is a capacitive, WiFi-enabled fan-speed controller that replaces the mechanical fan regulator module in your existing ROMA-format switchplate. It delivers smooth, hum-free fan control across 5 speed steps, handles fan loads up to 80W, and brings full smart-home capability — scheduling, voice control, app automation, and offline reliability — to an ordinary ceiling fan. No hub is required, no subscription is charged, and your existing ROMA-format plate stays on the wall.
The RPro designation means it snaps directly into ROMA-format plates: Anchor Roma, Legrand Myrius, GM Modular, Havells Crabtree, and 25+ other ROMA-compatible Indian brands. The identical product in Vihan-format plate locking is the VPro variant (for Schneider Vihan / ZENcelo plates).

Installation
Installation & Wiring
Pre-Installation Checklist
1.Confirm your plate brand — Anchor Roma, Legrand Myrius, GM Modular, Havells Crabtree, or any ROMA-compatible brand → RPro is correct
2.Confirm a neutral wire is present at the switchboard — required on all Beakn Modular Touch variants; most Indian switchboards already have one; your electrician confirms during install
3.Confirm fan motor load — must be 80W or less (covers virtually all standard Indian ceiling fans)
Installation Steps (overview)
1.Switch off MCB / isolate power at the switchboard
2.Remove the existing mechanical fan-regulator module from the ROMA plate
3.Connect line, load, and neutral wires to the Beakn touch module terminals
4.Snap the module into the ROMA plate — same locking format, no tools for the plate
5.Restore power; the LED indicator confirms the module is live
6.Connect to WiFi via the Beakn app and configure speed schedules, LED colours, and Night Mode
Mixing Smart and Non-Smart Modules
•You can install the Fan Dimmer RPro in one slot of a multi-gang plate and keep standard non-smart switch modules or other Beakn smart modules in the remaining slots
•Add smart control one module at a time — no need to replace the whole plate at once
Free Installation
•Available in 8 cities — check the Beakn website or app for city list and booking

FAQ
What makes this a "fan dimmer" and not a regular dimmer?
It uses capacitive regulation specifically designed for inductive fan motor loads. A standard triac dimmer (used for LED lights) would cause audible buzzing in a fan motor. The capacitive method controls speed smoothly and silently across 5 steps.
Will it hum or buzz?
No. Capacitive regulation produces zero hum at any speed step — a key reason to choose this over a generic smart dimmer for a fan.
How many speed steps does it have?
5 discrete steps (step 1 = slowest, step 5 = full speed), selectable via touch panel, app, or voice.
Can I schedule fan speed changes — not just on/off?
Yes. You can schedule specific speed-step changes at set times (e.g. step 2 at 11 PM, step 4 at 6 AM). These run locally and work without internet.
What is the maximum fan load?
80W. This covers virtually all standard Indian ceiling fans (most are 50–75W).
Does it need a neutral wire?
Yes — a neutral wire is required at the switchboard. This applies to all Beakn Modular Touch variants. Most Indian residential switchboards already have a neutral; your electrician confirms during installation.
Does it work if the internet goes down?
Yes. The touch panel always works. Schedules, auto-off timers, and countdown timers run locally on the device without internet. Only remote access (controlling from outside your home network) requires internet.
What plates does the RPro fit?
All ROMA-format plates: Anchor Roma, Legrand Myrius, GM Modular, Havells Crabtree, and 25+ other ROMA-compatible Indian brands. If your plate is Schneider Vihan or ZENcelo, choose the VPro variant instead — identical specs and features.
Can I mix it with non-smart modules in the same plate?
Yes. The Beakn Fan Dimmer RPro can share a plate with non-smart mechanical modules or other Beakn smart modules. No need to replace all modules at once.
What voice assistants does it support?
Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri (via Siri Shortcuts).
Is there a hub or bridge required?
No. It connects directly to your home WiFi — no additional hub, bridge, or gateway needed.
How long will it last?
The capacitive panel is rated for 100,000 switching cycles. At 20 uses per day, that is over 13 years of operation. There are no mechanical parts to wear out.
Is there a subscription fee for the app features?
No. All 20 app features are included free — no subscription, no monthly charge.
What is Safe Mode?
Safe Mode is a voltage-protection feature that automatically disconnects enrolled loads if the incoming voltage goes above 280V or drops below 200V, protecting your fan motor from voltage surges and sags.
