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

Great quality and works great.

If you live in a home without a common wire to connect your tradition smart switch, that is the only way I would recommend this device. I read reviews before purchasing about it not working well and still decided to buy it. It worked well for about a week.The first problem is, the naming convention is somewhat confusing to Alexa. You technically end up with three different devices. One for the entire unit, one for the fan and one for the light. So be sure you pick something that won't confuse you too.The second is, 90% of the time, Alexa would not control the device. The device either could not be found or simply wouldn't work.The third is, the app doesn't always update with the unit. You may select a speed but it never makes it to the device. The remote would still be pretty reliable.The fourth is now, the unit will not respond to the remote either. While you can hear the unit beeping and light flashing on the remote, nothing happens. Every one in a while, I'm able to use the smart life app, but it still has a 90% fail rate. And yes, I even disassembled the upper canopy to physically touch the remote to the device to make it do something. If it wasn't too late, I'd want my money back. However, you get what you pay for.

We bought the WiFi only version.Remote worked without issue from the start.Installed on a Hunter ceiling mounted fan so accessing the module required removing the 5 blades. Had to drop the fan 3 times for this module insuring all connections were tight and looking for the nonexistent led on the module.Did a number of attempted sequences (on-off-on-off-on). Did the reset sequence using the remote. Purged the buffer cache in the app. Searched and searched for the device with the app. No markings on packaging, in supplied 2 point type manual or box indicating/reminding me I bought the WiFi only version, not the BLE/WiFi or BLE version.Finally found a reset sequence in the vendors advertisement above (simultaneously pressing the “Light” and “fan “High” buttons unit” “something?” was to happen (turns out, light turned on, then off).Then found an instruction to change the WiFi network to one related to the module. Did that (similar to setting up other Smart Life devices), continued to massage the app and all the sudden the module shows up.Once o got it set up - it’s nice - but getting it operational was a bugger!

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.

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.
