So, if you&#8217;re like me and you&#8217;re addicted to everything smart home, you probably have a need to add smart control to any ceiling fans in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, its not always practical to just toss out your old fans and replace them with <a href=\"https:\/\/thesmartcave.com\/best-smart-ceiling-fan\/\">brand new smart fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately,

Does your ceiling fan have a remote?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If YES, I recommend the <strong><a href=\"#bond-bridge-fan-control\">Bond Bridge<\/a><\/strong>. Bond requires zero wiring and works with multiple fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If NO, continue to question 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Do you have an AC or DC ceiling fan motor? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a DC fan motor, the only option on this list that <em>might<\/em> work is the <strong><a href=\"#bond-bridge-fan-control\">Bond Bridge<\/a><\/strong> (to work with Bond, your ceiling fan must have a remote). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an AC fan motor, continue to question 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Can you currently control both the light and fan from the wall switch(es)?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If <em>YES<\/em>, you can use any of the controllers on this list. I recommend the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#treatlife-fan-light-switch\"><strong>Treatlife<\/strong><\/a> for a low-cost, WiFi, single gang solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"#lutron-fan-control\">Lutron<\/a><\/strong> for an extremely reliable, but more expensive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If <em>NO<\/em>,  continue to question 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inovelliredseriesfanswitch\">4. Do you want smart control for both fan and light?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If <em>YES<\/em>, then you&#8217;ll need to install a module in the fan canopy.

I know intuitively it seems like it would work, but it&#8217;s not a good idea. <br><br>A typical ceiling fan motor is an AC induction motor. For a dimmer switch to effectively slow down that type of motor, it requires a variable frequency drive (VFD) or a TRIAC. <br><br>If you try using a light dimmer switch on your fan, you will most likely hear a loud humming sound on low speeds.

It becomes an even better solution if you have multiple ceiling fans with a remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bond Bridge can record the signals that your remote control sends. Once the signal is recorded, it remembers and plays it back whenever you (or your smart home) command it to. The ceiling fan then responds to Bond exactly as it would respond to your remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond can record and play back any function that your remote can control.&nbsp;Usually that includes light dimming and fan speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your ceiling fan is connected to Bond, it&#8217;s easy to setup voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond can be placed pretty much anywhere in your home. The RF signal used by most ceiling fans easily goes through standard walls and has a range of roughly 40 feet. It also needs to be within WiFi range of your home router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond is fairly expensive if you only plan on using it with one ceiling fan. But, a single Bond Bridge can be used to control up to 30 devices so the &#8220;price per device&#8221; can be much lower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, its mostly being marketed as a ceiling fan controller, but its not limited to only ceiling fans. It can control any device that uses an RF signal (<a href=\"https:\/\/thesmartcave.com\/bond-home-review\/\">learn more)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part about using a WiFi ceiling fan control like Bond is that there is no wiring. So, if the idea of digging into your wall switches with a screwdriver makes you a little nervous, this may be a great option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Still Use Bond If My Ceiling Fan Doesn&#8217;t Have A Remote?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No, but if your old ceiling fan is not set up for remote control, you can buy a universal remote control kit made specifically for ceiling fans. The kits come with a receiver unit that installs inside the housing of your fan and a remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install a remote control kit, you&#8217;ll need to open the fan housing and do some wiring. But, once the kit is installed, you&#8217;ll be all set to use Bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the Best Ceiling Fan Remote Kit?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple kits available on Amazon from many different brands, and just about any will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000WEIJ8O?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thesmartcave-20&amp;linkId=aac99e2af79f7867be4d620b322e0de7&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">this remote unit<\/a> from Westinghouse. It&#8217;s one of the more expensive kits, but instead of a typical remote control, the remote unit is wired into the wall and replaces an existing switch. Therefore, you won&#8217;t ever have to worry about replacing the remote batteries and you won&#8217;t ever lose the remote. Plus, it eliminates the problem of someone turning the existing switch off and cutting all power to the fan (which means no smart control until power is restored).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever one you choose, check the dimensions of the receiver and make sure it will fit inside your fan&#8217;s housing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lutron-fan-control\">Lutron Cas\u00e9ta Smart Fan Speed Control<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"cg-box-layout-seven   \"  style=\"--cg-theme-color:#0170B9\"  data-bottom-arrow=\"true\"><div class=\"cg-our-top-pick\">Most reliable<\/div><div class=\"cg-layout-row\"><div class=\"cg-layout-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/9MIQWYP?track=Lutron+Caseta+Smart+Fan+Speed+Control+Switch%2C+Sing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"cg-aff-link \" data-post-title=\"Lutron Caseta Smart Fan Speed Control\" data-aff-link=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/9MIQWYP?track=Lutron+Caseta+Smart+Fan+Speed+Control+Switch%2C+Sing\" data-post-type=\"box\" data-post-id=\"223423\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51q07lEFBeL._SL500_.jpg\" class=\"cg-img-1\" alt=\"Lutron Caseta Smart Fan Speed Control\" style=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cg-layout-content\"><div class=\"cg-tag\"><h3 class=\"cg-box-name\"><a href='https:\/\/geni.us\/9MIQWYP?track=Lutron+Caseta+Smart+Fan+Speed+Control+Switch%2C+Sing' class='cg-aff-link' data-post-id='223423' data-post-type='box' data-aff-link='https:\/\/geni.us\/9MIQWYP?track=Lutron+Caseta+Smart+Fan+Speed+Control+Switch%2C+Sing' data-post-title='Lutron Caseta Smart Fan Speed Control' target='' rel='nofollow' >Lutron Caseta Smart Fan Speed Control<\/a><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"cg-text\"><ul><li><strong>Pull Chain Elimination<\/strong>: Allows control of ceiling fans from the wall with 4 fan speeds plus an off option, enhancing comfort.<\/li><li><strong>Wireless Control<\/strong>: Compatible with the Fan Pico remote (PJ2-3BRL-GXX-F01, sold separately) for remote control from anywhere in your home.<\/li><li><strong>Broad Compatibility<\/strong>: Connects with numerous smart home devices, including Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Assistant, Ring, Serena shades, and Sonos (Caseta Smart Hub required).<\/li><li><strong>Multiple Control Options<\/strong>: Control ceiling fans through the app, voice commands, or directly from the wall.
