Just investigating this and tbh, unsure how speed/direction control works from wall to fan. Maybe that’s more common than I think if all the control wires aren’t already wired at the wall? I don’t know. The Inovelli looks promising at first glance.

Zooz comes close but the wall switch seems limited with just on/off fan control.Native ST integration via Zwave with an interface that mirrors the wall controls I think my ideal situation would give control at the wall, a casual user with a remote and ST integration for automations:Ī single-gang control switch that does it all - light/dimmer, fan with variable or low/med/highĪ physical remote that mirrors the wall controls This is shaping up to be the definitive thread for late 2021 fan integration with ST!

Minka also makes a line with Bond built in: Bond Home | Bond Home Depot offers some models which have Bond built in: these use the same Bond integration as in 2) above.

Tuya and Sonoff both have some offerings in this device class, both are using custom code which has not yet been updated for the new platform. This used to be a very popular option using a Zigbee device from Hampton Bay, but that device has now been discontinued and it always required custom code. It may also mean that any handheld remote that came with the fan no longer work, again, that varies by model. This requires rewiring the motor in the fan canopy. Replace the fan’s own motor controller with one that works with SmartThings. Replace the controller in the fan canopy.It’s always possible that either company will drop support sometime, but that’s true with any device.īond as a company does have a history of overpromising on future features, so only buy them based on the features that are available now. No custom code required, and it should work after the IDE goes away. And Because Bond is simulating the fan’s own remote, no extra wiring is required.īond has a manufacturer-provided cloud to cloud integration available through the SmartThings app. This option has become increasingly popular, particularly since they now have a partnership with Home Depot for several of the Home Depot brands. Lutron and Bond already use a cloud to cloud integration which is not affected by the change.įAQ: 2020 Ceiling Fan and Dimmer light wall mount control compatible with SmartThings and Alexa?īuy a fan with its own button remote, then add a SmartThings compatible device that works the way the remote does.īond’s entire design is based on this idea and works well with many different fans, although the exact features you get vary from model to model. Zooz and Inovelli have already committed to updating for the new platform. So do further research before making a big investment. Note that many of these require custom groovy code which will stop working in a few months when the SmartThings IDE goes away. (The title mentions Alexa, but the same models work with ST without a smart speaker.) The Zooz mentioned above falls into this group. Some can also control lights on the fan, some require a separate light switch, it just depends on the model of the fan and the switch. This has been a popular solution and there are quite a few options. Wire the fan to a wall switch and replace the switch with a SmartThings-compatible one that is also compatible with a fan motor. There are 4 ways to make a fan compatible with SmartThings.
