How to Add Smart Control to Your Dumb Ceiling Fans

A 2019 study found that the global smart home market had a value of over $80 billion. Experts predict that the market will swell to over $207 billion by 2027. What does that mean?

It means you more than likely have at least one smart device in your home. Smart devices make our lives easier, but you can’t get the most out of them unless you integrate them into a smart home.

Did you know you can turn any ceiling fan into a smart home ceiling fan? It’s true. Read on to learn all about smart ceiling fan control.

What Is a Smart Ceiling Fan?

A smart ceiling fan should integrate with your devices and work like any other smart device. You want voice activation along with a manual wall switch.

You should also be able to program your fan and light to turn on and off at certain times of the day, night, or a specific temperature. An added feature is a motion sensor that switches on the light and fan when you enter the room.

How Do I Convert My Ceiling Fan?

Though it’s possible to buy fully integrated smart ceiling fans brand new, you probably have fans already installed. Do you want to spend the money replacing those fans?

That process takes time and costs money. If you’re not handy, you’ll have to call a contractor or handyperson to do the work for you. Besides, you already like the look of the ceiling fans you’ve installed.

Smart Switch to Control Ceiling Fan

Rather than install a new fan, you can buy a smart switch to control your ceiling fan. These switches install on the wall.

A smart switch for your ceiling fan gives you control of speed, lighting, and other sensor-driven automation. Do you want your ceiling fan to activate at a specific temperature to help you avoid high air conditioning costs?

Smart switches give you the option to program your fan to turn on at your desired temperature threshold.

Smart Ceiling Fan Remote Control

Smart switches can integrate your ceiling fans into your home technology. Installation can be a tricky time investment and not one you’re willing or know how to make.

There are other ways. If your fan has a remote control, you can convert those signals into a universal fan remote.

It’s so easy to do. Buy a device that records remote signals. Once you have those signals recorded, the device will then connect to your smart home personal assistant.

Once that’s connected, you can control and program your fan through voice control commands!

Smart Ceiling Fan Control for Your Smart Home

With your home technology, all you have to do is state a command, and it happens. It’s convenient, and it also feels magical.

If you’ve invested in this type home technology, you need to optimize it. One way to do that is through smart ceiling fan control. This control is one more step to full smart integration.
