I recently had the opportunity to try out the Simple Connect Fan, and I must say, it's been a revelation. The fan's sleek design and intuitive controls make it a joy to use, and its seamless integration with smart home devices has taken my experience to a whole new level.

The remote itself is also very comfortable to hold and use, with a smooth and responsive interface that makes it easy to adjust settings on the fly.

Another feature that impressed me was the fan's built-in smart technology. With just the press of a button, I could turn the light and fan on or off, adjust the fan speed to my liking, and even access advanced features like surespeed technology, which provides an instant breeze once engaged. The fan also comes with six different speed settings, allowing me to customize my cooling experience to suit my needs.

I was able to connect it seamlessly with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit, making it a versatile addition to any smart home setup. The fan also integrates well with other devices in the SmartThings ecosystem, allowing me to control multiple devices with ease.

One of my favorite features of the Simple Connect Fan is its ability to learn and adapt to my preferences over time.

The fan also comes with advanced smart home capabilities, such as geofencing and scheduling, which allow me to automate my cooling experience even when I'm not at home.

In addition to its impressive smart features, the Simple Connect Fan is also designed with energy efficiency in mind. With an Energy Star rating of 5 out of 5, it's clear that the manufacturer has prioritized reducing energy consumption while maintaining performance. The fan also comes with a high-quality motor that provides quiet and smooth operation, making it perfect for use in bedrooms or living rooms.

As I continued to explore the features of the Simple Connect Fan, I was impressed by its ease of use and seamless integration with other smart home devices. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current cooling setup or simply want to experience the convenience of smart technology, this fan is definitely worth considering.

In terms of voice control, the Simple Connect Fan works seamlessly with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

The integration with smart home systems makes it easy to use my favorite voice assistants and experience the full potential of my SmartThings setup.

One of the final things that impressed me about the Simple Connect Fan is its value for money.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eni have spent more time trying to make ceiling fan smart than any other smart home product in my home now this one is currently smart but it's using this really complicated setup over here where you need to push this and then you need to push that and turn this and i'm the only one in my house that actually knows how to use those functions with the voice assistant well the good news is hunter fan company has a solution to solve all of these problems hunter fan company did send these to me today for this review so first off we have a new fan here now this is the advocate collection but there are a bunch of new fans that have what is called simple connect technology so this will allow you to connect your fan via your favorite voice assistant whether it be apple homekit google assistant or amazon's voice assistant so first off we're going to get this set up and installed that does connect over wi-fi and then the next thing we're going to do is show you how you can control this fan right from your light switch with the ceiling fan remote wall control the specific fan i'll be using today is a 54 inch advocate collection which is wi-fi connected has an integrated led light bulb and it does have reversible blades as well you got the noble bronze or the black walnut and then it has a cased white glass so there will be some electrical required to get this set up so one way we will be able to control this is with this included fan remote and then follow the instructions you should be good to go the first thing we will need to do is turn off the power to our existing fan and now remove it piece by piece by piece by piece like these by piece by piece by piece by piece by piece yeah now we are ready to install the new one next we're going to add the bracket now there are two ways which you can do this one you could use machine screws in a fan rated box or here i'm going to drill into the joist and pre-drill some holes to use the wood screws to install the bracket next i'm going to hang the fan onto the bracket and then we're going to do the wiring here you have the ground on the bracket then we have the black the white and the blue now because i only have one switch i will not be using the blue but if you have a fan and a light switch you would use the black for the light and the blue for the fan so for the wiring i'm going to take the green cable and attach it to the ground with the included wire nuts and then i'm going to take the black attach it to the black and the white attach it to the white and since i won't be using the blue cable i'm just going to put a wire nut on it and then i'm going to tuck the wiring in so that i'm ready to mount the fan first we're going to add some slots with screws for the fan to hang on then we're going to hang up the fan add and tighten the screws then we're going to snap the canopy covers into place then we're gonna take a screw add a washer and install the four fan blades that was easy then we're gonna add the light kit assembly lower switch housing and the led assembly so this does not actually have light bulbs it has this little led and we're going to attach that and then plug in the white to the white and the blue to the black and then we're going to add the glass and it is installed now that the power is back on the fan is ready to be used so here on our remote we can easily turn on and off the light with the button and then you can actually change the brightness by holding down i'm gonna hold down the button and there it's going to go dim so that was its dimmest level now let's go ahead and hold down the button to turn up the brightness and there we go as you can see that definitely fills up the room with light and it gets much brighter than the light that we had before that's awesome and then here we have the option to change the fan speed so i can use these controls so it looks like it's at the fastest and then we can turn it down and then we can push the button to turn it off now let's go ahead and get this set up with the simple connect app this is available on android and ios devices once we have it downloaded let's open it up here it's mentioning that we'll be able to control everything right from the palm of our hand and i'm going to go ahead and create an account once we have confirmed our account we're going to head back to the app and add a device and then we're going to make sure the power is powered on now this will connect to a wi-fi that has 2.4 gigahertz most likely your wi-fi will have that even though it may not show 2.4 and 5 gigahertz next we're going to use the remote and pull off the battery panel here and then we're going to hold the button down until it makes a tone and is in pairing mode just like that the lights will flash and then we need to scan a qr code which is found on the battery cover inside and then it wants us to put in the eight digit code here and now we are going to choose the wi-fi network we want it to connect to and enter the password all right and it has successfully connected to the wi-fi so now we're going to link our account and now it has been linked to our account so here we have the option to control our simple connect fan we can simply adjust the light by turning on light and then down below we can adjust the brightness as well next let's turn on the fan now it will go to the last speed in which you did have the fan and it does take a little bit to turn on but there we go and here you can see it's ramping up to 100 percent and then i can turn down the speed and it is a nice breeze in the home now let's look at the advanced options so if you did have a separate light switch and fan switch you can turn this on here to split the fan but i don't have that so we're going to turn it off then you have the option to have audio feedback so it will beep when you adjust the fan you can also have the fan go to reverse and you can turn off the dimming so it no longer will dim so now i do have that option once it is on and at the bottom here we have the option to rename the fan so we're just going to call this kitchen fan and then we're going to save that and then let's go ahead and give the light a name and this is above the couch so i'm going to call it couch light you could also call it fan light or whatever you want and if you do have multiple fans you do have the option for rooms down here so you can adjust the naming of the room but now let's go ahead and add this to our different smart home apps let's start with the google assistant for this we're going to head into the google home app we're going to select the plus at the top left and then select setup device and works with google and then we're going to search for simple connect here it is so we tap on that and then we need to sign into our account and then we need to authorize access it has now linked our account to the google home app so if we go back to the main page and scroll down to the bottom under the link to you section we'll find the simple connect light here we can tap on the light we have the option to turn the light on and off and then we can also adjust the brightness but if we click add to room we can then organize it into our home i'm then going to do the same for the simple connect fan and at the top here we can also adjust the name to whatever we'd like so now i can turn off all the lights in the kitchen by tapping right here and then also if i tap on the kitchen fan i can then simply turn it on and off now let's test this on the nest hub max turn off couch light set couch light to 100 brightness hey google turn on kitchen fan got it turning on kitchen fan set kitchen fan too high sure setting kitchen fan speed to high and then i like here on the smart display i have the option to see all the different speeds as well as tap to adjust turn off kitchen fan all right turning off kitchen fan all right now let's go ahead and link this with amazon alexa on the simple connect home screen tap the settings and here we have alexa integration and then we're going to tap enable and then we're going to sign into our account and authorize once it finds the devices you'll see at the top here to view the new discovered devices and here we can see that we have our couch light and our kitchen fan and then i'm going to scroll down and go into my kitchen group and add both of those devices to the kitchen so here i have the couch light i can tap on it i can adjust it by turning it on and off right from the app i also have the brightness controls and so on and here with the kitchen fan when i tap on it i have the option to turn it on and off and then i also can adjust the percentage or the speed of the fan let's test it out on the echo show turn on couch light set couch light to 100 brightness alexa increase kitchen fan alexa turn off kitchen fan and to set this up with apple home kit we will need to sign in to the simple connect app here i'm using the ipad and then i will need to sign into my account and then i will need to use the home kit code that can be found in the cover of the controller then i need to select to add the fan to the home once the fan is connected we'll then give it a location in a room and then we can give it a name and then here in the kitchen room we have the option to turn on and off the fan and we can adjust the brightness of the light and here we have the quick control to turn off the light let's go ahead and test it out with siri hey siri turn off hunter light okay the hunter light is off hey siri turn on hunter light okay the hunter light is on hey siri turn on hunter fan done hey siri set hunter fan to low okay i set the hunter fan to 25 hey siri turn off hunter okay the hunter fan is off we now have our simple connect fan connected to the internet and working with all the voice assistants and that is working great but let's talk about the other way in which we are going to use this fan which is over here from the wall and with the remote so first off with the wall switch if we turn that off it's going to turn off the light and the fan because there's no longer power going to the fan and we can come over here and turn it back on and the light comes back on the fan does kick on but if you do turn off the wall switch you are not able to use those voice assistants anymore so first let me talk to you about how you can control the fan with the remote and then let me show you a way in which we can solve the problem of the light switch being turned off so looking at the remote this is actually one of the most advanced fan remotes i've ever seen now there's only a few buttons but if you look at the guide you can see all the different things that we can do so we can turn on and off the light just by pushing the button but if the lights on and then we push and hold the button down that will actually adjust the brightness right from the light which is really cool so then if we quick press that will turn the light off next we have the fan so if we press the fan it will turn the fan on or off then if we want to adjust the speed we then push the button up so let's see is the fan on nope so i turn on the fan and then i increase the speed all right and the speed is going up so i can go faster speed and then i can go lower speed now if i want to reverse the fan so if i want it to go in the other direction for winter or for summer you would hold down on the fan button and then that would reverse the speed now you have a few other options so here we can do fan updraft where we long press the fan and the up we can do fan down draft where we long press the fan and down we can do dimming mode off so if you don't want it to dim you can hold down the up and down arrow at the same time you can also enable beep so let's do that if we hold down the volume and the up button now the fan is going to beep when we use controls so if i turn on the light it will give a beep indication saying it was done and that is the sound for turning off and then to disable the beep you're going to hold down the light and down and so that is how you can control the simple connect fan with the remote now let's head over and talk about the light switch so here we have the hunter ceiling fan remote wall control now this allows us to do all the functions we had on the remote and this also is compatible with other hunter fans that have receivers so here in the box there's the wall control it does come with a hunter faceplate there and then here on the back we have ground and we have the load going to the fan and the power going to the switch as well as placement for two double a batteries and in the box it does come with the batteries as well as some wire nuts and other screws to get this mounted and set up and here is a little quick control guide and again has very similar functions to the remote that i just showed you let's go ahead turn off the power get this installed after removing our switch now let's go ahead and put in the batteries this does have a battery cover you can place on as well now i'm not exactly sure why you need batteries and to wire this but that's what we need to do next we're going to connect the wires so first we're going to use the green and connect it to the ground here that is the unsheathed copper wire back here next on the back of the wall control you'll see a picture of a fan and we're going to connect that to the wire that goes to the fan or the load wire and then next we have the vac wire which is going to be connected to the line that comes into this light switch once that is done we're going to press all the wires back into the light box and then we're going to attach the wall control and add a face plate then within three minutes of turning on the power hold down the light and the fan button it will then flash and it is now paired to the fan and now our wall control is set up and ready to go now if you don't want to pick up a wall control you also can mount the remote right to the wall the back of this just pops off like that and then you can screw that in the wall and then you snap this on and then you are able to easily place your remote which is really nice but i like having this built in and the option where somebody's not going to turn off the light switch so now let me walk you through the functions of the wall control okay so first off we can turn on and off the light so simple press of the button and the light turns on and off if we hold down the up arrow that will push the light at the full brightness and then if we hold down the down arrow that will put it to the most dim level next we have the option for the fan so if we press that will simply turn on the fan to whatever state it was now it does take a couple seconds for it to engage but there it goes and then we have six different levels of speed that we can use now this does use the surespeed technology which immediately you feel a nice breeze once this fan is enabled so let's go ahead and decrease the speed down on the fan all right so here it is at speed one and then we can push the up arrow to increase the speed and just like the light if we hold down up that will change the fan to full speed and then it will cool off the room and then when we're done using the fan we can simply just press the fan button and it will turn off and then when we're ready to turn it back on we push the fan button it turns it back on to the speed we were using now one thing about the wall control is you do have a full power so if you want to completely kill the power to the fan you can press the power button here on the bottom but that does totally turn off the power so right now none of these smart functions will be able to work you need to have that pressed in and powered on so that you are able to use the full functions of the fan so i would just use the light and the fan button to have full control whether you're going to use smart control or whether you're going to be using the wall control here so after using this simple connect fan for a few days i'm very impressed now right now i have it on full speed and it does produce a little extra sound but one of the most impressive things is the air in which it is pushing through this room so on a hot summer's day this is going to be the perfect addition to our home now i've really enjoyed that this can connect with all the different smart devices works with google set kitchen fan to medium sure setting kitchen fan speed to media all right there i was able to change the fan speed and it changes pretty quickly i like that it works with google amazon as well as apple and i'm actually very impressed with how quickly home kit was able to work haven't used that as much as the other ones now one of my favorite things is being able to have the full control right on the remote there's no more little dangly things to control the light and then i also love the new integration of the wall control i think i'm going to go out and buy one of these for all the fans that i have that are hunter have the wireless remote already i just need to put one of those in the wall switch and then that will solve so many problems with people being able to still use the smart controls and then being able to control the fan right from the wall which is just a huge thing in the improvement of smart fans because i've tried out a ton and there's always a problem and this solves so many of those different problems so overall the simple connect fan is really a great product and something i can definitely recommend if i were to make any changes i would love to see it connect with the smart things platform and then i'd also love to see just a little faster integration between the app and the fan now when using this with voice assistance it actually works really good hey siri turn off the hunter light okay the hunter light is off pretty quick hey google turn on couch light just a second longer there but overall very impressed with the speed that it will work with your voice assistance now with all of this you also have the option to create different routines where it can automatically turn on the lights or the fan at different times of the day and different times of the year depending on what you need for your home so if you have any further questions about this fan please let me know in the comments below and if you'd like to pick up one of your own i will leave a link in the description below so

now let's go ahead and put in the batteries this does have a battery cover you can place on as well now i'm not exactly sure why you need batteries and to wire this but that's what we need to do next we're going to connect the wires so first we're going to use the green and connect it to the ground here that is the unsheathed copper wire back here next on the back of the wall control you'll see a picture of a fan and we're going to connect that to the wire that goes to the fan or the load wire and then next we have the vac wire which is going to be connected to the line that comes into this light switch once that is done we're going to press all the wires back into the light box and then we're going to attach the wall control and add a face plate then within three minutes of turning on the power hold down the light and the fan button it will then flash and it is now paired to the fan and now our wall control is set up and ready to go now if you don't want to pick up a wall control you also can mount the remote right to the wall the back of this just pops off like that and then you can screw that in the wall and then you snap this on and then you are able to easily place your remote which is really nice but i like having this built in and the option where somebody's not going to turn off the light switch so now let me walk you through the functions of the wall control okay so first off we can turn on and off the light so simple press of the button and the light turns on and off if we hold down the up arrow that will push the light at the full brightness and then if we hold down the down arrow that will put it to the most dim level next we have the option for the fan so if we press that will simply turn on the fan to whatever state it was now it does take a couple seconds for it to engage but there it goes and then we have six different levels of speed that we can use now this does use the surespeed technology which immediately you feel a nice breeze once this fan is enabled so let's go ahead and decrease the speed down on the fan all right so here it is at speed one and then we can push the up arrow to increase the speed and just like the light if we hold down up that will change the fan to full speed and then it will cool off the room and then when we're done using the fan we can simply just press the fan button and it will turn off and then when we're ready to turn it back on we push the fan button it turns it back on to the speed we were using now one thing about the wall control is you do have a full power so if you want to completely kill the power to the fan you can press the power button here on the bottom but that does totally turn off the power so right now none of these smart functions will be able to work you need to have that pressed in and powered on so that you are able to use the full functions of the fan so i would just use the light and the fan button to have full control whether you're going to use smart control or whether you're going to be using the wall control here so after using this simple connect fan for a few days i'm very impressed now right now i have it on full speed and it does produce a little extra sound but one of the most impressive things is the air in which it is pushing through this room so on a hot summer's day this is going to be the perfect addition to our home now i've really enjoyed that this can connect with all the different smart devices works with google set kitchen fan to medium sure setting kitchen fan speed to media all right there i was able to change the fan speed and it changes pretty quickly i like that it works with google amazon as well as apple and i'm actually very impressed with how quickly home kit was able to work haven't used that as much as the other ones now one of my favorite things is being able to have the full control right on the remote there's no more little dangly things to control the light and then i also love the new integration of the wall control i think i'm going to go out and buy one of these for all the fans that i have that are hunter have the wireless remote already i just need to put one of those in the wall switch and then that will solve so many problems with people being able to still use the smart controls and then being able to control the fan right from the wall which is just a huge thing in the improvement of smart fans because i've tried out a ton and there's always a problem and this solves so many of those different problems so overall the simple connect fan is really a great product and something i can definitely recommend if i were to make any changes i would love to see it connect with the smart things platform and then i'd also love to see just a little faster integration between the app and the fan now when using this with voice assistance it actually works really good hey siri turn off the hunter light okay the hunter light is off pretty quick hey google turn on couch light just a second longer there but overall very impressed with the speed that it will work with your voice assistance now with all of this you also have the option to create different routines where it can automatically turn on the lights or the fan at different times of the day and different times of the year depending on what you need for your home so if you have any further questions about this fan please let me know in the comments below and if you'd like to pick up one of your own i will leave a link in the description below so if you want to check out more of my smart home you can see a full
