Smart Wi-Fi Ceiling Fan Remote Control Kit, 3 Fan Speed & Light Dimmer,Compatible with Alexa & Google Home Smart Life APP

Ok, went from a Hunter IR remote to this controller. The Hunter had an IR controller in the ceiling yoke, so install was super simple. Cut out old controller and splice like wires to new controller. (after turning off power). Discover in Alexa and rename device to your liking. Bam, works like a champ. total time less than 15 minutes from going up ladder to telling Alexa to turn it on. This device uses Smarthome for synch, so if you have that already installed you're good to go. Auto discovery worked fine.

This is garbage. The fan is in my bedroom and if you leave it on it will periodically turn off and then it turns the lights on like a reboot. It does this several times at the night and wakes you up. I have tried Amazon tech support and they are talking to the manufacturer. Also this did not have any real instructions to set it up with the app. Had to call tech support to tell me how to synch it. It is useless and i believe i will have to now take the ceiling fan down to replace or get rid of this trash.

Had this installed today. Took a few minutes to get the app to find it, because the instructions for how to get the switch into pairing mode you get from the app are wrong. Use the booklet, which says hold the light and hi buttons for 5 seconds, then cycle the light switch on-off, on-off, on-off, on-off, on-off. Once we did that, the app added the switch. It integrates with Alexa perfectly. It shows up as two devices in Alexa one for the fan one for the light. You can name them and then use voice control for 3 fan speeds and dimming the light from 0-100%. Works perfect.

The unit is not as small as I thought and it was tough to cram up above the ceiling fan mount. I had to position the wires first such that the line wires came out on one side and the fan wires went out on the other side.Another issue was my fan was originally wired reverse polarity, and my home has old wiring so both wires from the ceiling are the same color. I had to use a circuit tester with live wires to confirm which one was HOT (L) and which one was neutral (N). I've seen a lot of people complain this these crap out in a few months and I wouldn't be surprised if some of that is due to wiring reverse polarity.(Edit: 10 months and still working fine, no flickering, phantom power-on issues, hasn't burned out.)Once I got everything installed I put batteries in the remote, turned the power back on, and it worked great with the remote! I opened Smart Life (which I use for other devices) and could not pair it. I double checked the instructions; turned on blue tooth on my phone, gave the Smart Life app bluetooth permission ("locate nearby devices")... still no dice. Bluetooth is supposed to let the app auto-discover the fan controller so you don't have to manually add it. Not working.But I came back here to the amazon page and saw in the product description it says to "Hold HIGH and LIGHT for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode". I did that and immediately the fan showed up in Smart Life! I added it and renamed it (if you don't rename it then you won't be able to add another fan controller).I told my Google Home to "synchronize devices" and 3 devices showed up in my Google Home app (Kitchen Fan fan_control, Kitchen Fan light_control, and Kitchen Fan). One is a switch to turn the fan on and off (using whatever speed it was last on). One is a normal light control with 1-100% dimming. One is just a quick button that turns both on or both off. I renamed these in the Google app to make them easier to use (Kitchen Fan, Kitchen Light, and Kitchen Fan Composite... I probably won't ever voice control that last one). Despite the fact that Kitchen Fan shows as a simple on/off switch in the Google Home app, I can still use voice control to set it to High, Medium, and Low.

I want to say this is great and that for the price it was a great value, but I cant. My purchase took me spending 4 hours trying to gather 1st unit working but I didn't and sent it back. The second unit unfortunately had three same issue, I no wifi or so I thaught. 2 hours on the 2nd and it's working fine. That being said I am used to dealing with bad instructions on smarthome gear as I have several hundred devices running on smart things and home assistant. This issue was unnecessary. The simple answer to getting wifi to work is to press light and high on the remote. This places the head unit in setup. I tried this step and had my fan setup in less than 5 min. No where on the instructions does it say this. I found it thanks to another review. Only time will tell if it lasts. There is an issue with light and fan coming on after a brownout or surge but that's starting to become the norm.

I set it up with smart life. Set up was a breeze once I discovered that they were being literal with the two buttons, they must be pressed both at the same time.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM...This product is TERRIBLE, the light function does not stay connected so you have to constantly turn the switch off to reset it. The light randomly turns on all the time. Product just plan sucks DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM

I use this controller to interface my fan with Home Assistant and it works flawlessly. The first unit I received wouldn't pair with the Smart Life app properly as it kept timing out. However, the next three controllers I received for all of my fans work well. The controllers do not beep for me when entering app-config mode, however.
