Need advice for in ceiling fan and light controller

Hardware
1

I am going to be installing 2 new ceiling fans soon and I want them to be smart controlled through Haas.io

I need the ability to
-control fan on/off and speed
-control light on/off and dimming
-I need some sort of wireless wall controller to go with it.

I need something that installs in the ceiling with the fan as none of the switches in my house work, and I don’t want to rewire all of them.

I was looking at the Insteon 2475F FanLinc but I’m not sure what I need to do to integrate it with hass.io and I don’t want to get any hubs. USB adapters are fine, but I really don’t want to get any hubs. Plus Insteon products in general don’t seem to have great reviews.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is what I currently use, I connect to it with a wink hub, but I believe it uses zigbee, so you might be able to find a USB zigbee adapter that works with HA. Not sure if that exists though.

I found the above article on integrating the insteon hub with home assistant. Does anyone have any experience with how this works?

Why not just a sonoff ? I’ve my fan running with dsonoff … Works just reliable :wink:

For the price that might be an option. Do they work well with HA? But they don’t offer and dimming or speed control do they?

They have a ceiling fan module that does all this over WiFi and rf433, it’s called the ifan2

Wow, I’m bookmarking that site, nice stuff. Now I’m not sure, but don’t sonoff devices have to be flashed with custom firmware in order to work with HA?

Does the Hampton Bay work with the Wink hub 1, or do I need the new Wink Hub 2? Because im tempted to just get this, and a Wink hub 1 for $38 on Amazon and call it a day. The entire Wink hub itself can be integrated into HA right?

Yes, I use it with the wink hub 1. There is a wink component for HA

Thats what im going to do, I already got the hampton bay controllers on order, my wink hub showed up today, and I bought the fans last night. Thank you everyone for your help.

How did this work out. I bought s house with 3 fans built in that have wireless controllers built in - I assume they use RF- these are standard wireless fan controllers - circa 2008 from Harbor breeze.
