Demo of my Vornado 660 using a remote and Alexa

I've always thought that the Vornado 660 needed a remote.... So I added one, and then some.
I added an RF remote which also enabled it to be controlled through voice commands via Alexa. I think it's safe to say that this is the only Vornado 660 in the world that can do this.

*Vornado definitely makes a great fan **Fastly.Cool** . We had the older model that was larger and which we liked more, but we are still quite pleased with this product. Recommended!*

Is it a shame they didn't make the vornado come with a remote control

[@tangofizz77]

They now make this model Alexa compatible :)

Very cool, but you should have posed a how-to video about how you did it.

Pretty sweet modification! 😍😍 I'm totally jealous! Are you experienced with modifying electronics, or was this something you googled and attempted? Can I ask how long it took you to do this? I have never tried to do anything like this, and am just wondering if this is something I could successfully complete if I tried. You wouldn't want to save me the headache and modify 3 more by chance, would you? Name your price! Lol

Did you add a ceiling fan remote kit? If so is it housed in the fan base or in a power gang box ahead of the fan plug?

Will you be able to post hi resolution picturs of both sides of rf controller and back circuit of fan.

It's been a while back and I am reluctant to open it up again. Below are the pics I took at the time. Pardon the unorthodox use of LAN cables and parts but those were what I had lying around. If any, the fan and all features demo'd in the video still works to this day.... so it's reliable enough for its purpose. i.imgur.com/HALh7rA.jpg i.imgur.com/OrpHglv.jpg i.imgur.com/Cfq9Bbl.jpg i.imgur.com/q1zFHG3.jpg i.imgur.com/l8gs5Zo.jpg

is the 660 bigger than a 12" fan?

How did you do this?

@@oj88 nice work. I wont be trying this however I'll just get a smart power point and use Alexa to turn on and off.

[@orlypalomar]

@@powerinnumbers6159 for conventional fans, your approach will work. This particular fan however has push-button electronic speed control so a power point won't switch it ON (only OFF).
