Ceiling fan control without adding another switch leg

You could install some type of dual relay in the ceiling fans housing. That is what I used for my bedroom ceiling fan. This is the one I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV0MZLQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

If you decide to go this route, you will need add the custom device type and smart app in your ide. You can find the information about it here https://github.com/mattjfrank/ZWN-RSM2-Enerwave-Dual-Load. This is NOT my work, and I take no credit for it.

The downside is the wall switch will have to remain on, so I used this http://smartenit.com/product/zbws3b/
That will also need a custom device type that can be found here Wireless, Battery Operated Wall Switch, but it works well for me.

This is one of the longest posts I have ever written, I hope I didn’t ramble too much.
