BLE to quickly add to Smart Life

I use Smart Life and a dedicated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for my smart home devices. I'm using this fan controller with a super simple fan from China that has no speed control at all - it just runs at full speed when switched on. It came with a remote control and junction box which I didn't install as I need that type of wall switch. The installation is quite easy. Switch type with wire pigtails and wire nuts. Everything is there, which is very convenient. There are no problems installing all of this in the box either. I didn't use the awesome screwless plate that comes with the kit as there is also a light switch in the box. I installed another version of the screwless cover for two back boxes. There are no problems with the installation, although the Wi-Fi reset button is very easy to press when putting the cover on. Adding to Smart Life is easy with BLE. The firmware version of the main module is V1.1.71. MCU version 1.0.0. I doubt there will be any updates as it already works fine for the most part. The fan works great. no noise A click can be heard as the fan controller switches to different loads to control speed. This is not a stepless speed controller - it has 4 speeds. They can be controlled via an app or a touch switch. The speed is indicated by small lights on the wall switch. Even without an app, this is a good fan controller. It's an expensive $36 switch, but it works well. I have several other Martin Jerry devices at home, all of which have been working well for over a year. If I had infinite money, I would decorate my entire house with Martin Jerry's stuff. It's really well done.
