I would not buy this fan again

I installed this fan in my living room and wanted to connect to a smart home. Of course, the fan itself works fine. Am I going to install it again? Probably not, it's expensive and the application isn't very good. Response time is late. I installed two more Hunter fans that look almost exactly the same for 1/4 the top price. I then installed Lutron Caseta Smart Switches on the wall. The response time is instant and the app is better. And the cost is less than half. I also wonder what would…

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Volume

Great functionality and great looks!

Great fan that can be installed quickly and easily. I love that this is a smart fan and it can be controlled via my iPhone, remote control or Alexa. I haven't had much luck with Google because you have to say a few extra words for it to turn on, Alexa is a lot easier. The app is great and it's the main way to control the fan. I can change the speed or brightness of the light in the app. It makes a very loud sound when you make these changes, but luckily you can turn off the sound in the app…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

Great fan. Poor home automation function

The fan itself is fine for me (although I installed it in the bedroom and found it a bit noisy). It was very difficult for me to connect to my router. Integration with Alexa is poor. Alexa can turn the fan on and off. She can turn off the fan. Asking Alexa to turn on the fan results in either 1) Alexa saying it's not supported, or 2) Alexa saying "OK" but then not turning on the fan. The SimpleConnect app is useless (except when setting up a wireless router). I find little correlation between…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Not compatible with HomeKit

I bought this fan for my parents for Christmas and have struggled with it ever since. If you're just looking at it as a dumb fan then I have no complaints but I would recommend finding something cheaper. If you are buying this because it claims HomeKit support, please upgrade to a different product. We had it completely installed by an electrician and after almost 3 hours of work on their side the smart functions were not working due to "wrong installation code". After a lengthy process with…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not the best

DO NOT buy this fan! Hunter service missing.

I bought this fan because I wanted to connect it to my Apple HomeKit smart home network. Installation was fine. The fan works as advertised with the remote control. However, the given HomeKit accessory code is incorrect. As a result, I cannot connect the fan to the Apple HomeKit network. The fan is clearly connected to my Wi-Fi network as I can see it in my router's device list, but without a valid HomeKit code it's useless to me. I called Hunter Support twice. The first time I waited over an…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I will add later

Before you spend $370 on this fan and then $350 on the installation, look online for reviews. Search for "hunter smart fan simpleconnect fan problems". Not sure how Revain managed to avoid 1 star reviews (as of April 2020) but this fan is a huge disappointment. Of course it works with the remote, but I'm paying for it to be "smart" and I, like many others, can't get the mind to work with any consistency or regularity. When I set it up with the Apple Homekit, toggling the fan speed doesn't work.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Blank
