Hi all, just got a new hub and I’m looking for a solution to my issue now that I’m finally getting to get my house a litter smarter.
I number of years ago I bought a ceiling fan from Costco. It has served us well but now just annoyed at it since we’re sick of using a rubber button remote to turn on and off the fan/light.
Issue: I only have a 14/2 wire from the fan to the light and I’m not able to run another wire from the fan to the switch.
Opportunity: Basically what I’d like to do is control the fan/light independently of each other from the switch and of course from the app.
Options? I can’t figure this one out and I can’t find in the forum’s my specific setup. Issue of course I’m new to this game so I’m still a little fuzzy what I need to look for.
See the Fan FAQ. It lists the various options. Although the thread says “Alexa“ in the title, it’s the same device options whether you are using a voice assistant or not.
I don’t see them on the official compatibility list yet. They do have an IFTTT channel, so you should be able to get some integration that way, but I don’t know how much. The install guide for their most popular Wi-Fi model says you have to use IFTTT for SmartThings integration.

Note that this only works with the Wi-Fi models, not the Bluetooth models.
The Hampton comes with a module that goes in the fan/light wiring at the fan. The module is controllable through the custom DTH for ST. The remote is just a bonus.
