Dimmer Controlling Ceiling Fan
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I successfully replaced my old ceiling fan switch, which was rated for 120V and 3 amps of current, with a Kasa HS220 Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer Switch.
It's been installed for 4-5 days now, and no issues whatsoever. The dimmer switch is rated for up to 15 amps of current, so my particular ceiling fan's maximum power draw is under the switche's maximum power draw, and there are no issues with the fan's speed. I can power it at a slow crawl, or at the maximum, which is no different from the old switch's maximum speed. They really should consider branding a smart ceiling fan switch.
Thank you for your sharing. However, I still need to emphasize that the HS220 is only suitable for connecting to lighting fixtures, and it is also designed specifically for lighting devices. For safety considerations, it is not recommended to connect any other types of devices to it.
The new product KS240, a ceiling fan control and dimmer switch is available in the US. Check out this model if you want to find a smart switch for ceiling fan!
