Has anyone tried the new GE Z-Wave Ceiling Fan Wall Switch (12730)?

@milkman55

do you think the 12729 toggle style dimmer switch would work?

Here’s just one of many discussions about using a dimer designed for lighting to control a fan motor. I believe it was not recommended.

Ceiling Fan with Dimmer Switch?

Hi, I want to add a ceiling fan to my bedroom, but I’d like to be able to dim the lights on it rather than just turn them on/off. Also, I’d like to be able to control the ceiling fan speed. All of this through the app and/or the wall dimmer switch. Q1 - is this even possible? Q2 - if possible, what ceiling fan can I use? I’ve seen some where the speed is controlled by pulling a string on the fan itself. I doubt that’s what I’m after… Q3 - with that ceiling fan, what wall dimmer switch do I use? Thank you very much!
