The fan that knows
when to turn on.
Modern Forms · Control4 · Every Room · Covered Patio · Silent DC Motor · Scene Automation
A smart fan isn't a fan with an app. It's a fan that's part of your Control4 system — activating when a room scene activates, adjusting speed to the temperature, shutting off when you leave. From the primary bedroom to the covered patio. No remote. No separate app. No thinking about it.

Modern Forms Smart Fans.
Every room. One system.
Modern Forms smart fans are the only ceiling fans with native Control4 integration and a completely silent DC motor. Designed for every room in the home — primary bedroom, great room, kitchen, home office — and covered outdoor spaces including pergolas, lanais, and converted patios. One product line, one Control4 system, every room in sync.
Every Modern Forms fan is built around a completely silent DC motor — 70% more efficient than traditional AC fans, with 6 speed settings, summer and winter reverse, and full bidirectional control. Available in damp-rated for interior spaces and wet-rated for covered outdoor spaces including pergolas, lanais, and converted patios. Native Control4 driver support means the fan integrates directly into your Control4 system — it becomes a zone that activates as part of any room scene, responds to temperature sensors, and runs on schedules without you touching anything.
What makes a Modern Forms fan
different from every other.
Part of the Scene. Not a Separate Device.
Most smart fans require their own app. Modern Forms has a native Control4 driver — the fan is integrated into your existing Control4 system alongside your landscape audio, outdoor display, and permanent lighting. One tap activates the outdoor scene and the fan comes on. One tap closes the patio and the fan shuts off. You never open the fan app because you never need to.
Turns On When It Needs To. Not When You Remember.
Through Control4 and a temperature sensor, we program your fan to activate automatically when the patio temperature rises above your set threshold. Speed 2 at 72°F, speed 4 at 80°F, speed 6 at 85°F. When the temperature drops or the scene closes, the fan adjusts accordingly. Comfort that's automatic — not reactive.
You Hear the Music. Not the Fan.
Traditional AC ceiling fans hum. Modern Forms DC motors are completely silent at all six speed settings. When you're listening to the Cherry Bomb Galaxy landscape audio system, the fan is invisible — acoustically and visually. It moves air without adding noise to the space.
Every Room. Every Covered Space.
Modern Forms offers damp-rated fans for interior rooms and wet-rated models for covered outdoor spaces — pergolas, lanais, screened porches, and converted patios. The same product line, the same Control4 driver, the same interface. Whether it's the primary bedroom or the covered patio, the fan integrates identically into your Control4 system and operates the same way.
A fan that's part of
the system.
We install Modern Forms fans as part of your Control4 system — in every room and on every covered patio. Temperature-triggered, scene-activated, scheduled. Whether it's the primary bedroom activating at bedtime or the covered patio fan coming on with the outdoor scene, the fan becomes invisible in the best possible way: it just works, without you thinking about it.

Frequently Asked.
Modern Forms smart fans are ceiling fans with native Control4 integration and silent DC motors that are up to 70% more efficient than traditional AC fans. Available in damp-rated for interior rooms and wet-rated for covered outdoor spaces. They integrate directly with Control4 so the fan becomes part of any room scene — from the primary bedroom to the covered patio — with scheduling, temperature triggers, and scene automation.
Modern Forms has a native Control4 driver. Once integrated, the fan is controlled through your existing Control4 interface — the same app, touchscreen, or remote as everything else. It activates as part of your outdoor scene, responds to temperature sensors, and can be scheduled. No separate app required when using Control4.
Yes. Modern Forms offers damp-rated fans for interior rooms — bedrooms, great rooms, kitchens, offices — and wet-rated fans for covered outdoor spaces including pergolas, lanais, screened porches, and converted patios. Wet-rated models handle Pacific Northwest humidity and temperature swings in covered locations. Neither rating is designed for fully uncovered, exposed installations such as open pool decks. We specify the correct rating after a site assessment.
Yes. Through Control4 and a temperature sensor, we program the fan to activate automatically when your patio reaches a set temperature — for example, speed 2 at 72°F, speed 4 at 80°F. It adjusts automatically and shuts off when the scene closes. You set it once and never think about it again.
Smart outdoor fan installation ranges from $1,200 for a single fan with existing wiring to $7,500+ for multiple fans with new circuits and full Control4 outdoor scene integration. Modern Forms fan retail runs $400–$1,200 depending on model and size. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after a free site assessment.
Yes. Every installation includes the complete electrical — junction box, wiring, and new circuit if required. We hold WA Electrical Contractor License RIVASGL799DR. Covered patio installations often require a new dedicated outdoor circuit, which we handle as part of the scope.
