Amazon Basics Smart Fan Control Switch, Single Pole, Works with Alexa Only, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, No Hub Required, White

This switch works very well. It was easy to install if you have basic knowledge of electrical. It fit just fine in the electrical opening. It is only able to be controlled by the Alexa app but, if you are ordering it, you probably have the app on your phone. You can manually control it from the switch itself and setting the speed that way is super easy. I recommend this fan switch.

Worked great so far.

Super easy to install and connect to my existing Alexa account. Don’t be scared off about the “load” line needing to be red. A quick You Tube viewing and I learned the “load” is simply the black wire going to the device. I had a red and black going to the fan. I paired them both with the load wire from the switch. All worked great.

Beware! I have installed many Amazon smart switches and dimmers over the years at several homes and in general I have really liked them. However, Amazon seems to have recently changed their manufacturing design to incorporate thick plastic mounting tabs on their smart switches (rather than the thin aluminum tabs on past products). This thickness causes normal wall plates to stick out from the wall with about a 1/8" gap. The switches come with a single gang snap on wall plate that is very nice and compensates for this issue with no gap, but that does not work if you are incorporating multiple switches in a multi-gang box. I looked everywhere for a multiple 2-gang wall plate that would work but to no avail. You would think Amazon would offer different configuration wall plates (2, 3, 4 gang) that would just snap into their switches since it is very common to mount multiple switches together - but of course they do not. Or, at minimum offer a screw on plate that compensates for the depth - but of course they do not. I have tried many different manufactures plates and none of them work. I noticed several other recent reviewers have had this issue as well and have compensated by caulking the gap (no thanks), or using plate extensions (no thanks), or even digging out the back of plates with a Dremel (no thanks). I have read all the documentation and watched all the videos at Amazon and they do not address what plates are compatible. I have tried their product support but they do not offer live support or even email support for their own products (go figure that?). Do not buy their smart switches if you plan to mount them with other switches in the box, or be prepared for the same frustration that I and others have had.

Easy install, Alexa connected to it without me doing anything. All I had to do was rename it in the Alexa app. I installed this fan switch in my bedroom so that I don't have to get up to turn the ceiling fan on or off at night. Sounds lazy, I know.

looks very easy to install great color operation is smooth

This Amazon Smart Fan Control Switch works great with Alexa, but make sure your current wall switch setup is compatible—it requires a neutral wire (which is there most of the time in most homes) and more importantly, it only works with switches where there are separate WIRED connections to the fan speed and light control. You might already have a wall switch with buttons to control all of these and think you will be OK, but those switches often use RF and not wires to control the fan. If that is the setup you have, then this switch will not work for you (but in this case there are alternative products that could help such as a Bond bridge). If you have two separate switches to control your fan then you will probably be ok combining into one. Anyway assuming you have the right setup to begin with, then once installed it integrates seamlessly with Alexa for voice and app control, no hub or extra apps needed. The speed settings with LED indicators are easy to use, and scheduling via the Alexa app works great. A reliable and affordable smart switch if you have Echo devices in your home, and if your have wired connections to both your fan and ligh from the switch!

It installed quickly and works via voice through Alexa, just like it is supposed to do.
