Description of πŸ”Œ Enbrighten 55258: Z-Wave Plus Smart Fan Control for Alexa and Google Assistant | 3-Way Compatible with Repeater/Range Extender

Switch upgrade – Easily replace any standard in-wall switch to remotely turn on or off and adjust speed levels – high, medium and low settings – of a ceiling fan. Multiple fans – Wirelessly control and schedule up to two identical fans from the same in-wall device. Dedicated device – The smart control is specifically designed to operate fan speeds. It cannot be used with lighting. Lights on fans with 3 wires – usually red, black & white – can be controlled using a separate Enbrighten Z-Wave smart switch or dimmer. Range extender – The fan control repeats your Z-Wave signal from your hub or other Z-Wave devices to extend your range by up to 150ft. Extended signal range increases your home automation coverage to enhance your control. Changeable paddles – White and light almond paddles are included to match your existing switches. Additional colors of the easily changeable paddle are also available.

Works well with VeraPlus. pairing tips.

I recently paired my VeraPlus with this Jasco/GE Z-Wave Smart Fan Control 14287 and Jasco/GE Z-Wave Smart Light Dimmer 14294. Vera defines these two devices as dimmable switches. Error attempting to add a device to Vera using an existing Jasco In-Wall Dimmable Switch profile. DO NOT REPEAT MY MISTAKE! Vera's existing profile is for a ZigBee device, not a Z-Wave device. If you try to use this profile, Vera will never find this switch! (trust me I spent too much time trying this before figuring…

Fan Speed ​​Control Less intuitive and cumbersome to use

Let's start by saying that it works. I bought a Hunter fan (pull wire version). Installation is difficult for a non-electrician, especially if your box is small and no neutral wire can be found. It would be better if the fan speed was more controlled by a separate knob. The push-hold technique is slow and cumbersome, switching the speed from the lowest to the highest takes a few seconds. Also for Smartthings users, the default fan interface is very slow and sluggish. It takes a few seconds to…

Pros
  • Switch Upgrade - A simple replacement for any standard wall switch to remotely turn the ceiling fan on and off and adjust the speed levels - high, medium and low - of the ceiling fan.
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Use a different product

When my house was rewired I took it in stages and decided to install all the smart switches for lights and ceiling fans . I originally purchased version 1 of this product and was very happy with the results. When I finished the rest of the reconstruction, version 2 came out, so I bought a newer version. Any light that was recessed LED lights flickered. Not just a slight flicker, it was like strobe lights that got worse the less they were dimmed. I took version 1 switch which worked fine and…

Pros
  • Multiple fans - control and schedule two identical fans wirelessly from the same wall mounted unit
Cons
  • New competitors are emerging

Smartthings is a disaster

Don't make the same mistake I did by pouring so much money into this scheme that you have no choice but to go through with it. At first I thought connecting devices would be difficult, but when my hub died, I discovered a new depth of hell trying to "lock out" the outlet from the old hub (which is already in a landfill) so I he could connect the new hub. really a nightmare. Your links in the support area simply take you to the product page to buy the same products again. There are no…

Pros
  • Dedicated Device - Smart Control is specially designed to control fan speed. It cannot be used with backlight. 3-wire fan lighting - typically red, black, and white - can be controlled with a separate Enbrighten Z-Wave smart switch or dimmer.
Cons

Great range extender switches for $

Fan switch just an overview: I have installed four of these smart fan switches so far. GE recently changed the model (new #14287) to have three (not so clear) settings instead of continuous adjustment (aka dimmer). Each position is indicated by the flashing frequency of the LED. No tactile feedback when changing the speed setting. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the flashing light. It can be a learning curve for those who haven't used these switches (GE Z-Wave dimmers) before. Since my…

Pros
  • . The fan controller mirrors your Z-Wave signal from your hub or other Z-Wave devices to extend the range up to 150 feet. The extended signal range increases the range of your home automation to increase your control.
Cons
  • Out of fashion
