Best Smart Switch for Ceilings Fans without Lights – Buy This!
I’m an electrical engineer and admit that I’m a bit of a control freak. I try to consider every use case for my family and guests, and I like all my smart home controls to be perfect. I’ve used about 4 different fan controllers in my quest to find the perfect solution, and I’ve finally located the near perfect solution with this Treatlife Smart Ceiling Fan Control.I liked this controller so much that I bought 7 more, and I’m taking the time to share my experience with you. I review products that I really like or ones I dislike (and want to warn others about). My goal is to pay it forward in exchange for all the other great reviews I regularly read on Amazon. My family members and I are not employed by Treatlife and received nothing in exchange for writing this positive review.PROS:+ Intuitive: no lighting control buttons that do nothing on fans w/o lights.+ Elegant: simple modern looking design.+ Button feedback: click response feels great with a pleasing “click” sound when pressed.+ Simple: they have nailed the WiFi setup process. Much easier and more seamless then Belkin WeMos (which have improved over the years but still aren’t quite as simple and seamless to setup on your network).+ Smart: Google assistant integration via the Home app was also simple and flawless.- Button Lighting: only on when fan is on, and dim enough to not disturb bedroom sleepers. 4 individual lights indicate fan speed along the top edge with one larger light on the on/off switch. Lights can be disabled in the app, but arn’t bright enough to need this.+ No Fan Motor Buzz: unlike light switch dimmers, this fan controller sources enough power to the fan motor (even at low speeds) resulting in a fan motor that happily spins away free of any buzzing. FYI, I am using Minka-Aire Roto that are whisper quiet with this controller, but that buzz loudly at low speeds with Belkin’s Wemo WiFi Smart Dimmer (where their web FAQ used to recommend this product for fans).+ Labels: includes high quality wire labels as an extra professional touch for the next owner of my home.+ Support: one of my 8 fan controllers died during install. Treatlife customer service was awesome. They immediately shipped me out a replacement. Totally hassle free. Nice to see that they have quality English speaking staff standing behind their products.CONS:- Button Light Leakage: light from the integrated button LEDs leaks around the bottom half of the fan controller disturbing an otherwise beautifully lit product in dark rooms. This is a minor issue, but a step that a good mechanical/industrial design engineer could have solved.- Button Light Brightness: button lights are difficult to see in a very bright room or outdoors. I would rather have lights like these that are not too bright in a dark room, but a setting to boost LED brightness would be nice besides the simple LED on/off setting in the app.- Google Assistant Vocabulary: Can’t turn on can and set its speed in a single compound command such as “turn on family room ceiling fan to high” as you can on smart light dimmers. Instead you need to use a chain of 2 commands such as “turn on family room ceiling fan and set family room ceiling fan to high”. The fan remembers the last speed it was set to, so this is only necessary if you want to turn on the fan AND change its speed. This product understands “high, medium, and low” as well as “1, 2, 3, and 4” for fan speeds, but not percentages like (100%, 50%, etc).TIP:+ Guest WiFi Network: If your WiFi router has a separate “guest network” available, then I recommend using this for smart devices that don’t need to communicate with each other. Many consumer smart home companies outsource their firmware/software engineering to other countries. Some foreign governments may request backdoor access to smart home devices sold in the US. As a security precaution (to protect personal data from devices on the primary network), consider connecting smart home devices like these fan controllers to your guest network.I hope this review helps you on your own smart home journey. Enjoy!

Not a bad, smart fan control… Gets the job done
I was looking for a smart fan control for my master bedroom. I am a big fan of dimmers and switches from another brand, but they don’t have a similar fan control offering. Hence, I thought I would give this a shot.Overall, if you have basic, electrical knowledge, insulation is easy. This works relatively well in multigang applications. it does not take up a large amount of space in the box. It does require neutral wire. I found that it just took a little bit of shifting and use of a couple receptacle spacers in order to get it to line up well with my face plate and other controls.Compared to dimmers from another brand, I find the lightning to be a little bit blurry, and not a sharp. It’s just not quite as clean of a look.It has four settings, and it remembers the last one that you use. Once installed, the application allows syncing with Google Home. From there on forward, the integration is awesome. I control it, and all my other smart devices largely from Google Home.The feel of it is a little lightweight and less hardy than the controllers. I have it paired with, and a lot of my Luton and other devices. The button pushes aren’t nearly as solid as the other devices I use.But, all in all, it works quite well. It looks good, and it’s a lot cheaper than an equivalent from Luton. As mentioned before, the lightweight and not as sturdy feel of the buttons are the only thing that might make me want to look at other devices in the future. But, I would have no pause about purchasing again.

Our old 20+ year old lutron fan switch died. These are the same price as those, but has wifi control! Install was straight foward enough, stuffing it all back in was the trickiest part. Works fantastic and now I can control from my phone or Alexa! It’s our second set. I tried my best to glue the broken ones back together with epoxy, but they just snapped in under a year. This is the way!

Just got the switch delivered today and was able to install it very very quickly. The instructions were easy to follow, I had a little trouble with the app but my wife was able to get it working with Google fairly quickly. Talk about convenience. Just ask Google to set your fan speed and you sit back and relax. Well built switch seems like a quality piece of equipment and it didn’t cost that much. I highly recommend it, going get yours today!
