52" Alward Smart Fan with Light Kit

loved the look of this light as I was looking for something with brighter lights and able to program. This fit the bill. It was easy to put together, the app is easy to use and it works with Alexa, yes you can use Alexa to turn just the lights on/off or just the fan on/off. Slowing buying more to replace the fans in each room. The lights are much brighter than most ceiling fans.

I had some doubts about getting this fan to work with Alexa, but did so after 3 attempts. First, the fan isn't difficult to install. We are in a manufactured home and our ceiling fan box seemed to be about 1/4 inch smaller than "standard". I had to modify the ceiling fan mounting bracket a bit to get the screw holes to line up, but you can't tell by looking at it. The wires and control box fit snugly into the space remaining. Wiring was super easy. It did come with two light bulbs, but I will likely replace those with something more rustic looking. Installed the app on my phone. Connecting to Wi-Fi did take a few tries. I tried twice and failed, then cycled the power at the wall switch a few times. Tried again and the fan connected! I loaded the parrot uncle smart skill in Alexa and away I went! I did rename the device to just "Ceiling Fan" to make it easier to interact. I can now tell Alexa to "turn the ceiling fan light on", tell her to turn the light to certain percentage, and "turn the ceiling fan to speed 1" (or 2 or 3 or off). I'm so glad I took the chance on this great looking fan!

I absolutely loved this fan. It's very quiet. Installation was pretty easy however ran into an issue because I purchased duplicate fans for different rooms of the house. Know that you MUST lock out one remote before programming the second one. Otherwise you will end up controlling different fans with the same remote. That was my problem. It took several tries to reset both remotes but finally got it sync the way it should be. Had no problem syncing it to my Alexa devices.
