You’ve probably already seen this, but the Fan FAQ does include a video of a GE fan controller switch side-by-side with a GE light controller switch, which is a very popular set up. But it might require some re-wiring if your original dumb wall switch didn’t control the fan lights.
Otherwise, get a fan which takes regular A19 LED bulbs in its light kit and you’ll have the option to use smart bulbs, so you can add an additional battery operated switch for the lights if you want without having to change the wiring.
