Red Series Fan + Light Switch (Z-Wave)

While there are many alternative and cheaper fan/light combo switches on the market, this is the only one I found that would work for the unfortunate situation where you have only one load wire from the ceiling fan running to a single wall switch. Installation and wiring were very easy, but finding a place to mount the fan module was challenging in my ceiling fan canopy. Mine didn't fit inside the fan bracket, so i had to ziptie it to the outside of the bracket in a janky way--it barely fit inside the canopy enclosure. My only negative feedback (athough not enough to deduct a star) is the included wallplate is too small and the zipties are too short. The supplied wallplate is "standard" size, but unless you're installing these before drywalling, you probably can only use "preferred" or "oversized" wall plates on your switches because the builder likely cut too big of a hole around the electrical box for the wallplate to hide the gaps. While it's certainly a nice touch to include a wallplate, I imagine most people will end up not using it due to the small size--I would suggest bundling with "preferred" size or larger, or not doing it at all. As for the zipties, I found the included ones to be too short for my mounting application, and I ended up needing to use 12" zipties that I had. Perhaps the included zipties would be sufficient if you have a wide and immaculately cleaned up canopy. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the switch's performance and functionality.

Bought this switch for the Hampton Bay ceiling fan and light in our living room. We had an existing wall switch for the light but not the fan (had to be controlled via pull chain). This switch allowed me to get rid of the clunky and spotty GE Link smart bulbs I had in the housing and replace them with standard LED bulbs. I had to move my Hubitat closer to the switch in order for it to find it but pairing was simple and updating to the newest firmware was also easy to do. I was initially having issues with the lights not dimming and flickering something fierce. Went back and forth with Inovelli support without any real solution but finally figured out it was the bulb compatibility causing issues between the two. Replaced the Sylvania LED bulbs with GE Relax LED which solved the flickering and dimming issues. I will be purchasing another switch for our bedroom when I find a ladder tall enough to get access to the canopy on the cathedral ceiling!

The actual switch is wonderful. All of its functionality is also wonderful. If there was anything that I had to fault at four, the module that you have to hide up in the fan is a little bulky. I ended up getting it mounted on two of the fans I have, and I have one more switch to install. Love inovelli, their support team (anytime I have a question they are on top of getting it handled for me) and I love their products!! I decided about a year ago to switch from smart things to Hubitat, which was a good move IMO.... and at that time I got rid of all the other switches I was using and started from the beginning again and bought a handful of these. I believe I have approx 25-30 switches in my house at the moment, Super high-quality products, The repairs work great and I never have signal issues. This fan switch is they step above any of the others I’ve got, I love the rockers next to the buttons, something I think they should potentially integrate into other switches as well. I would love to see two button switches like this for other applications not just for a fan application. I have some great ideas that I think I could put to good use with the switch. If only there was two load outputs!!!! Keep up the good work guys!!

I installed this switch a couple days ago and liked almost everything about it right away. I had read online about the delay when pressing the physical switch but also read they had fixed their dimmers by setting the preference to disable delays. This also disabled the ability to use scenes with the main buttons but I was ok with that. The install of the switch went really smooth. After physically installing both pathetic the wall and canopy module I installed the custom driver in Hubitat. I set all the settings to make the switch as fast as possible but was disappointed to see that the physical switch still had a very noticeable delay. Turning the light on and off from Hubitat was instant so I knew the switch was communicating to the canopy module just fine. I almost emailed support when I saw there was a beta firmware available in Inovelli’s website. It claimed to have the option to take away the physical delay. I updated the firmware and wow. They weren’t kidding. It seems as instant as the old dumb switch I truly cannot tell a difference between the two. To be clear the option to disable the delay showed up with the original firmware (1.34) but I guess it didn’t actually work until this new firmware (1.36). I have only had this switch for a couple days but if it holds up I will not hesitate to buy more. The notification features are really cool too.

I can't say enough good things about this switch - I wish Inovelli would oem these in a bunch of fans. I use the notifications for things like garage door open (red pulsing), and the scenes to turn on hard-to-reach smart lights. The only downside I've seen is when two people are crowding the switch sometimes the module doesn't get the on/off signal from the switch, but it's only happened twice.

I've bought quite afew of these. They work like a champ. They have a tons of settings you can modify. It can be overwhelming. But it's not hard to figure out. Love the notification options. Other manufacturers are probably envious of these and rightly so.

Works great and I have the notifications set to tell me when the alarm system isn't set. It is Awesome to be laying in bed and when my wife asks if the alarm is set. I look at the switch and say, Yep! I love this switch, and it has a strong WAF!

The shipping was fast and install was straight forward. The app setup in Samsung SmartThings was terrible I had to copy and paste code in order to make it work. It took me almost an hour to set up one switch. It was difficult to set it you with smart assistance like google home and Alexa and still it sometimes does not work. I set it up only a week ago and already I have issues. One day it would turn on the light but not turn it off. I reset it four times and I switched light bulbs and the started working normally. Also I use led dimmable light bulbs and sometimes it make a low humming noise. I switched bulbs and now the lights flicker randomly. I love the concept of having a smart light and fan combo but it may not be the right on for me. My wife is not very technical she just uses the physical switch and it decides when it wants to work.

I have been looking for a way to control celing fans ever since I started home automation and to add to my problems my house wiring is so outdated the wires aren't even coated in plastic and not a single switch has a neutral wire. This is exactly what I needed it let me control my ceiling fan without having to add any wirers or tear open the walls even with no neutral wire originally at the box for the switch. Other than the fact that I can't able to get the association to work to control the other light in the same room that doesn't have a switch at all it is perfect and I bought a second one and plan to buy a third when I get a new celing fan put in. I am very happy with it and it would be 5 stars if the association would work. When I bought it inovelli did not list openhab as compatible but it is compatible.
