Smartthings smartapp fan dimmer update#

So somewhere between 1-99%, there’s enough voltage being fed back through the line to actually light up a DIFFERENT light on the circuit. What I’m seeing happen is when controlling the light of Fan A, the light on Fan B will flicker on for a split second and then back off as the light on Fan A ramps up from 0->100% in brightness. That means the two switches are sharing the same neutral wire. Of the 3 that have been installed, 2 of them are in adjacent bedrooms that are on the same circuit at our breaker. I have purchased 4 of them through Amazon, 3 have been installed. Unfortunately though, I’m having a secondary issue with these that is likely a result of their engineering. Honestly, that’s pretty good for me as only having 3 speeds means the speed is generally going to be medium for the majority of situations. I’m able to control a dimmable light and on/off of the fan through ST of my Treatlife fan/dimmer switches. I hesitated about posting it here on this fan FAQ because the integration isn’t really direct and so clunky, but figured I would chime in since it came up. I really wish the Inovelli one could have an optional remote that controls it as well, then I would definitely use that here. It was cheap though and fit the use case I had of needing a separate remote where the gang for this fan was behind a couch and not easily accessible, so a switch like the Treatlife or Inovelli Fan/Light wouldn’t have worked here. The Smartlife fan solved that where an “on” command leaves the light on (but does make an annoying beep), but was difficult to setup as detailed on the linked thread. My old fan with the RMpro had the same button press for on and off for the light (like a power button on a TV), which was annoying because an “on” command would turn the light off if it was already on. I posted about my switch here - Smartlife WiFi Fan Control Smartlife devices are hit or miss with direct integration or just getting their “tap to run” scenes to come over. I’m not sure if this Treatlife one is similar but I imagine it would be as both use the Smart Life apps. It also doesn’t report status to Smartthings without possibly using some Alexa or IFTTT “man in the middle” steps. JD I bought a Smartlife fan switch and it does’t integrate directly to smartthings but uses the Smartlife “tap to run” scenes as a workaround.

Does the status update if someone changes the switch at the wall, or is it one of those integrations where it’s done through scenes? See the following community discussion:Ĭool, thanks for letting us know. So it’s not what most people are looking for. And of course now Ifttt charges a subscription. If you can’t wait for something which does integrate, some people do use the treatlife device with a one-way integration through IFTTT, but you won’t have any way of knowing if someone turned the fan on or off at the wall switch. Hopefully eventually someone will make one like this that does integrate. That’s a Wi-Fi device (neither Zigbee nor Zwave), and does not integrate with SmartThings.

I don’t see anything Z Wave or Zigbee in desription. Works with Alexa and Google Assistant but not sure it works with SmartThings.

Here’s a link to Amazon and a YouTube video of the install and it working.

Someone finally did a single gang switch that controls both lights on/of and dimmable as well as fan on/off and speed.
