Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Fan Control, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, 3-Way Compatible, ZWave Hub Required, Repeater/Range Extender, Smart Ceiling Fan Control, Smart Switch, White & Almond, 14314

I've done a lot of research trying to find this exact switch. Many Z-wave dimmer manufacturers say "DO NOT USE ON FANS". This is the first fan dimmer I've found that is MADE FOR FANS and works GREAT.

I have Enbrighten Z-Wave light switches controlling literally every light in my house. We have a large fan hanging from our vaulted living room ceiling and that was the only "dumb" switch I had left. So I was pleased to find this. I had to experiment as to which wire from the old controller went where on the new switch, but eventually figured it out without burning the house down. Since I have all of my Z-Wave switches integrated with Alexia via a SmartThings hub, I can now easily voice or app control the fan and it has worked perfectly since installation.

A few years ago, I installed a ceiling fan with a separate switch to control the fan. As I've got various forms of automation around my house, having the fan controlled also seems natural, enter this switch. I'd prefer a toggle type switch, but I didn't find one for the fan, so I made due. Packaging was acceptable, install slightly harder than a conventional light switch due in part to the neutral wire required and it being a bit larger physically. I suggest joining it to your Hubitat/Smarthings/etc hub before installing unless the hub is right there. I have a bit of lamp cord expressly for this purpose and so can add switches within a few feet of the hub. In Hubitat, I cannto remember what driver it defaults to and whther it was a usable driver or not. I used Hubitat Package Manager to obtain a custom driver for this switch. This driver allows for adjusting speed as well as other things outside my expertise. The switch does not appear to make reversing the fan's direction possible but I only do that twice a year. Automation is a function of yoru hub and the drivers chosen. When I add more fans to my house, I'll either buy more of this switch or whatever its successor product is.

I honestly don't understand what is wrong with this device but I'll be staying away from enbrighten from now on. It cannot control the fan speed properly. It stays stuck at maximum speed almost all the time. Eventually after like 5 minutes the fan finally slowed down one time. It's wired and installed correctly, I replaced an older zwave switch so the wiring was exactly the same. I've factory reset this switch and tried using it as a "dumb" switch without a hub and it still doesn't work. The LED cycles through 4 colors for the 4 speeds but the fan itself never changes.

I’ve been using SmartThings in my home for over 10 years. I’m handicapped so nearly everything can be controlled from my bed. FYI: The 700 series are much better, smaller, faster connected, but this FAN control has some qwirks. Do not use the scan code to add this switch. It will add as a dimmer and not work. Instead chose GE fan controller from the menu, then when it asks you to scan the code it should work. These newer 700 and 800 Smart things switches seem to connect much faster, and are smaller. Makes things easier… but still obviously some oddities.
