ZigBee Fan Switch | Project Zephyr (Blue Series)

Seems like this solves a lot of unique use cases. Want to confirm it works for mine. Probably should have asked before preordering a handful of them months ago.

Our ceiling fans all have lights. The fan and lights have their own switch. The light will only turn on if both switches are on. It’s like the fan switch gives power to the whole unit and the light switch then just changes the light. Hunter said this is intentional as most people leave the switch on and use the remote. Seems a little strange to me.

With this, I’d be able to run constant power to the unit through this switch in “fan mode” and just set the fan to turn on and off by integrating the switch action with SmartThings? I already have the fans on ST, so would just need the switch to trigger an action without changing the power to the unit.

They’re all “Hunter Aerodyne 52 in. Indoor Smart Ceiling Fan”

Really appreciate any insight. It’s been a journey.
