Zusammenfassung:	A fan controller for a ceiling fan is provided. The fan controller includes one or more switching devices configured to selectively couple the ceiling fan to a power source. The fan controller further includes a power meter circuit and one or more control devices. The one or more control devices are configured to obtain, via the power meter circuit, data indicative of power consumption of a fan motor of the ceiling. The one or more control devices are configured to determine the fan motor is configured in a first mode of a plurality of modes for the fan motor based, at least in part, on the data indicative of power consumption. The one or more control devices are configured to provide a notification to manipulate an input device on the ceiling fan to s witch the fan motor from the first mode to a second mode of the plurality of modes.
