Smart home tech is here to stay and we'll see more and more home décor products designed to work with popular devices like the Nest, Google Home and Amazon's Alexa. True to industry trends, ceiling fans are now made available for smart devices, too. Now you can control your ceiling fan's functionality from the palm of your hand or through your voice. Smart, right? | | | | | | Pro Tip: | | When choosing a smart ceiling fan, remember to adjust its direction for summer and winter to conserve as much energy as possible while working with your thermostat and heating/cooling system. By spinning your fan blades clockwise in winter months and counter-clockwise in summer months, you'll keep your airflow optimal. | | | | | | What is a smart ceiling fan? | | Like most home automation products, a smart home ceiling fan is one that is controlled over Wi-Fi, making it simple to operate with a smart home device or your mobile phone. With any of these modern ceiling fans, you can simply tell your fan when to turn on and off, place it on a timer or schedule it to operate as efficiently as possible. Not only is it smart, it's also a step in the right direction for the environment. | | | | | | Pro Tip: | | Teach an old fan new (smart) tricks. Connect any Minka Aire Fan using the BOND-Minka Aire Smart Control and manage your fan using a smartphone or tablet whether you're at home or away. | | | | | | Where do smart home ceiling fans work best? | | Consider replacing any of your existing ceiling fans with a smart home-ready ceiling fan. Make things easy in the kitchen when your hands are full by simply calling out to Google Home or Amazon Alexa to "turn on the kitchen ceiling fan" and voila, your fan is on. Use automated ceiling fans with your Nest thermostat to tune the temperature to your liking. And, you can use smart ceiling fans outdoors to keep your porch, patio or deck nice and cool during the summer. With all the convenience of smart fans, you'll have no problem introducing them into any room of your home. | | | | | | The Guides: | | Designing a Smart Home | | Whether building out a new home or upgrading an existing one, integrating smart home devices into the project has become easier than ever.
