Took a few minutes to install and configure. Smart Life app found them right away. Remote is handy and gives you an additional way to control the ceiling fan/light. Thank you to the reviewer that posted how to turn the beep off.

Fits perfectly under the ceiling cap of the fan. Works great with the app and with the remote.

Great add on to any ceiling fan. Wiring was a breeze connecting to Alexa was I tad bit challenging tho the explanations to connect to Alexa was not all that clear. You will need to create two different tabs one for the fan and one fro the light to work correctly with Alexa. Never even used the remote but great to have as a back up. The value it added for me was huge being able to control the light and fan independently with Alexa made life super easy. Great product just needed a bit mor explaining on the Alexa connection side.

Works great and was fairly easy to install and connected to Smart Life no problem. They can now be controlled by google, which is nice. Only two things I don't like about them. They have an annoying beep every time a setting is changed so I cracked them open and removed the speaker. Second thing is that the lights don't dim. Not a big issue but I had that functionality before.

It was easy to install, but sorry I hate the beep sound which it does when we press a button on remote or operate from phone app. Besides their is no indicator light, which should be blinking while we pair the device with phone app. Remote control could be slim and designed better, looks like cheap plastic. The device was a tight fit into my ceiling, would be better if you can make it more compact.

The wiring was relatively easy. The instructions are straight forward. I put up a fan in my daughters room and she loves it, especially with the remote. I also installed a fan in my home office with a remote and it works great. I paired with Google Home and the fan is voice activated! Using this device enabled me to buy the style of fan I wanted and enable it with a remote (and Google Home for that matter) as opposed to being restricted to fans that came with remotes.

Easy replacement for the Hampton Bay remote that failed. I spent the extra money to try the WiFi version, but could not get the WiFi to work at all no matter how many times I tried the pairing process provided in the instructions. Even came back to look a the reviews to see what was said and followed those instructions. Still no joy.Well at least it works as a remote for my fan, so I can't complain about that.

The good: Easy to install, and works great. It does beep every time it executes a command, which I have mixed emotions about: like the confirmation but it's a bit annoying. I believe another review says that can be turned off, I may look into that.The bad: I bought the 2 pack but only received one. Amazon's error I presume, and seller responded promptly with offer to refund the balance. Adding via Smart Life was a little confusing, as it said it failed a few times. After the 3rd failure it turned out it actually did add it. Alexa found it with no issues and Alexa control works well.

There is not much anyone can say about a fan controller except that it works. This one works.Of most interest to buyers is that there are absolutely no instructions of any sort. This might put off less experienced smart home converts, but it shouldn't. first install the controller. it is a standard size so if you already have a fan with a remote, it is easy to replace the old one with the new one. All the wires are color coded and marked, so nothing confusing there.1. Download the "smart life" app for your cell phone through the Play Store for Android or equivalent for IOS. (just search for "smart life".2. Start the app and set it to search for fans under the small home appliances group. Use the desktop fan as your category.3. You need to set the controller to pairing mode. Hold down the light and fan HI buttons together on the fan remote until it emits 3 beeps. (This can take up to 10 seconds). The app will search for new devices and this can tak an awful long time. Once it is found, you can edit the device name and light name also.4. The app will find and install the controller and usually Alexa catches up and installs it into Alexa devices. It should install as 2 devices: a fan and a light. Sometimes it only installs the fan and not the light, then try installing it again.5. Use the alexa app to turn on the fan and/or the light. All done.If you are installing more than one controller, it can get a bit confusing for Alexa and for you as well. As soon as you mention "fan", Alexa will see she has more than one and everything goes downhill from there. I seem to have solved that problem by creating a routine that triggers both fans. The trick is to not use the word fan in your command. I say "ceiling fan" and this works. You can control fan speed and light dimmer from Alexa. Each has 3 speeds.The only negative thing I can say (except for the no instructions) is that the remotes are permanently set to the controller so getting a replacement remote would not be possible. This is not anything to worry about if you are installing it in a smart home but might deter folks who just want to use the remote. It also means that if you have more than one fan in a room, it is not possible to set the remote codes so you can operate both fans with the same remote.Aside from that really minor thing, this is excellent value and easy to install. At this price, they are a bargain.Aside from that, it is refreshingly easy to install aside from occasional hiccups installing the light into Alexa. And, at this price, if you need to replace the remote, just buy another controller and remote.The control installs through the "smart life" app which is available for android and IOS cell phones, or it can be added as a skill in Alexa.

When I purchased this device there were no reviews. Against my better judgement, I purchased 6 of these because I was so desperate for a better solution, and if it worked, I didn't want to have to wait more weeks for another shipment from China and I put all my faith in this device. I thought, 'for that price, there's no way this could be good'.I needed a solution to replace my bluetooth Hunter Simple connect devices with something that had wifi. I searched for weeks and could only find a device that cost $70.00 with a company that I had never heard of. Then a few days later, the Amazon algorithm put this device in front of me. I was very skeptical at first with somewhat vague details and no reviews, at this price. Once I saw that it was controlled by the Smart Life app by Tuya, my confidence in this product was immediately boosted and I spent over $100.00 on 6 of them. *note* If you look in the smartlife app, you will not see a ceiling fan option and this worried me. It connects under the 'fan' icon that looks like a tabletop fan, but it will correct the icon to a ceiling fan once installed.I nervously awaited their long journey from China, knowing that I just threw away $100.00. They finally got here and I was absolutely beside myself excited to see if this device lives up to what is advertised.Let me tell you......it is. I installed 3 of them in 45 minutes and couldn't believe how easily they connected to smart life. They were immediately recognized by Alexa and respond to voice commands and smart home automations.Now, for the stuff that I wasn't expecting (none of which is problem for me).1. It comes with no wire nuts (I already had them from my hunter connect)2. The wires are a little on the thin side and will not take a lot of abuse without restripping (twist them up tight and you'll be fine)3. The device makes a click sound when you turn on/off the light or fan (similar to what you hear inside a TPlink). It also has a beeping but you can easily turn that off in the app.4. No screw for the remote bracket (I've never mounted a remote bracket in my life)5. No remote batteries (good thing I had 12 triple A's laying around for the 6 remotes)6. The fan light can be independently named within the native app but the light isn't passed through to Alexa. On my old fans there was a switch for the fan and another for the light on all my fans. This means I've been unable to control my fan light with my voice via Alexa. This is kindof a bummer but I really don't use the fan lights much and I have faith that Tuya and Alexa will get together and fix it (their other integrations are pretty good). Edit 7-9-19: a few days after install, Alexa started allowing the fan lights to pass through as their own devices. You will most likely have to rename them in Alexa because the SmartLife app has a very low character limit for the light name. For example 'Office Light' will only come out to be 'Office Lig'. Just rename it in Alexa so she knows what you're talking about (the native app doesn't matter),These aren't what I'd consider drawbacks, just unexpected things that other people might not be expecting.I'm somewhat of a smart home aficionado and I'm incredibly pleased with my purchase. The functionality is better than Hunter Simple Connect. This was a tremendous value and I'd highly recommend.Also, the two problems I was trying to solve (multi-remote interference) and switching off Bluetooth devices which blast the signal everywhere and interfere with other fans has all been corrected with this solution.
