As per the subject, I am looking for a smart (double) switch to control a ceiling fan with light. Preferably Z-wave.
I built our house a few years ago and wired each of the ceiling fans using 14-3 wire (3 wire; black, red, white + separate ground wire) to enable the fan and light to be controlled separately from the wall switch. The fan/light combos are currently controlled with a conventional double switch in the wall box (2 slider switches, 1 is a sliding dimmer for the light, and the other a 4 position slider for fan speed).
I am now looking to replace the above double switch combos with smart (z-wave) switches with similar functionality to integrate with OpenHAB. The only problem is that I cannot find an equivalent smart switch anywhere. I have searched this forum and there are several queries similar to mine but all are a few years old. Those queries were unsuccessful. With ever developing technology, maybe something has come out since.
I have found 2 possibilities in my own Google searches, but neither are exactly what I want:
- Inovelli Red Series Fan + Light Switch (Z-Wave) - It has all of the functions but it uses a 2 wire installation and requires a module in the fan head which is not desirable.
- Zooz Zen30 - this looks promising. Double switch, dimmer for the lights, 3 wire, relay for the fan. Unfortunately it doesn’t control fan speed.
That is about all I could find. Anyone have any ideas?
thank you.
