Ceiling fan controller that works natively with Echo studio
« on: September 01, 2020, 10:20:19 am »
I'm trying to minimize how many devices I buy that need wifi so I'm looking for a ceiling fan/light kit that works directly with my Echo Studio. I assume this means the controller that fits in the fan needs to have zigbee radio built in?  Also, I can't use a wall controller because it doesn't have a neutral wire so I need a kit that connects up in the fan.  Is there any device like this? there are many on Amazon but they all seem to be wifi based and of course they all say "works with Alexa". I wish they would list devices that work directly/natively (only) with Alexa.

Bond is a product that works with ANY fan that has a remote with it.  It even works with DC fans, no other system does.  Just link the Amazon Echo Skill for Bond and you can control fan speed, and any light on the fan.  https://bondhome.io/products/bond-bridge/

Thanks for the reply, and yes, I know there are multiple products that work with ceiling fans to "make" them remote, but I was hoping to find something that pairs with/works directly with my Echo Studio (or Zigbee).

I actually think that the Bond fan controller is what you are looking for to use with your Echo Studio.  One Bond unit controls multiple individual fans.  Check this video out see if this will do what you want...
