For this devise: U.S. Household 120v Hot Black Wire feeds power into COM1 Then only when HomeKit Fan accessory is ON, Channel-1 is ON, and power goes out NO1 wire into COM2. Then, when HomeKit Fan speed slider is 1% to 50% Channel-2 is ON, sending power from COM2 out NO2 to the LOW speed motor wire, or

When HomeKit Fan speed slider is 51% to 100% Channel-2 is OFF, sending power from COM2 out NC2 to the HIGH speed motor wire.

This setup would allow a householder to replace both the ON/OFF switch and the HIGH/OFF/LOW toggle found on most 2-speed Whole House Fans.
