Voice control existing remote controls w/ST and GHome

Are both the fan & light controlled with ONE in wall switch or two.
If separate you can use a dimmer or on / off wall switch for the light and appropriate bulbs and the fan switch needs to be specifically Fan control switch (works as a dimmer) to control the fan speeds.

There are many threads regarding fan / light config’s …
Here is one:

Ceiling Fan Control Options

I know there are several thread around this already, but I couldn’t find one specific to my scenario, so I decided to sign up and start one. Here is the situation. I have a single switch controlling the Fan and Light, and I have a Remote that handles lighting, fan speed, etc. I would like to get to a setup that allows me to control light and fan (speed would be nice to have, but not a requirement) with Alexa and ST. As far as I can tell, there are a few options, but each seem like they have a major barrier. Replace the single switch with two switches. Problem is the light box is only a single gang, so I would have to tear that out and replace it. Yuck. Bury a fan control switch in the ceiling above the fan. I’m not an electrician, but this seems a little dicey. I’d guess I need help…
