Yeah it’s up to date. I should try it on one of my other controllersHave you updated the controller's firmware recently? There was a problem that was fixed in an update. I don't know if the problem you're having is the same one, though.
Do at least 1 of the fans need to be plugged in? The Controller 69 is powered by equipment that's plugged into a wall, I wonder if as long as 1 thing is powering the Controller, it will work without plugging them in or if only 1 piece of equipment in a daisy chain needs to be plugged into 110. Hmm, I'm going to see what else works like this, definitely helpful!I got mine. Ran it in a daisy chain with the old one... didn't need to plug it in to power? Awesome less cable management

One of my fans is plugged into 110. The other is connected to the old s6 via daisy chainDo at least 1 of the fans need to be plugged in?

It's running without being plugged into a receptacle. Only plugged into the other fan via daisy chain.I'm sure all the fans have to be plugged in.
I just went up and tested mine. If I unplug the one in my front right corner from the wall outlet, they both keep running.It's running without being plugged into a receptacle. Only plugged into the other fan via daisy chain.
Agreed! I should have clarified in the video. The first fan in the daisy chain is plugged into power. I was setting it up, and just for ease i decided to add the daisy chain dongle in the line at my already set up s6. I was pleasantly surprised when it powered on as soon as i plugged in the uis cableI just went up and tested mine.

I plugged the front right back in and then unplugged the one in the back left from the wall outlet, both fans shut off.
It must matter what order in the daisy splitter they are in, you have to unplugged the correct fan from 110 for it to work.
You might want to check and make sure you don’t have 120v coming out of that plug end. That could be a problem.Agreed! I should have clarified in the video.

All goodYou might want to check and make sure you don’t have 120v coming out of that plug end. That could be a problem.
Oh good.
The Controller 69 is 12V so I'm assuming that's what the UIS carries as well. The fans have an EC Motor so the 110V power may get converted to 12V and that could be why it's running the other fan without it being plugged in because the UIS is giving the EC motor the 12V it needs. This is just a theory, I could find out but I would have to break open a fan. I guess I do have a couple gen1s lol.I'm surprised a UIS cable could carry enough power to run a fan. It would be safer to plug them both in. Keeping a motor going draws less power than starting a motor. So, starting is when a problem is most likely to occur. The fan motor might try to pull more power than can safely be delivered over the UIS cable. That could damage equipment or cause a fire. If you do run a fan off a UIS cable, I'd check it occasionally to see if it's getting hot.
I connected a second fan today using the UIS splitter. It didn't run when it wasn't plugged in to power. I just checked again and the second fan stopped running when I pulled the power plug.
Looks like Gen 1, I posted a picture of Gen 2 belowPardon my ignorance but is this a gen1? I don’t even know if it’s the same model? I can’t find the box without digging deap.View attachment 2128446
Someone else posted that someone had pics. I think it was you. I guess I need to dig up my receipt. Thank you.Looks like Gen 1, I posted a picture of Gen 2 below
