Note

Modern Forms fans use NTP (via pool.ntp.org) to set their internal clock and check whether sleep timers have expired. Sleep timers only work if your fan can reach an NTP server on the internet. You can block cloud access for the fan and allow only outbound NTP (UDP port 123) so sleep timers keep working.
