Smart ceiling fans can be controlled by your home wifi, Bluetooth, or your smartphone. In addition, these wifi ceiling fans can also be controlled through smart devices like Google Assistant or Alexa. In this guide, I will cover the best smart ceiling fans you can buy in Singapore.
Smart fans are divided into two categories i.e. Retrofit and latest smart fans.
Retrofit fans are normal fans that are converted into smart fans by a qualified technician. However, the latest smart fans come with in-built smart technology that does not need any modification.
How Smart Ceiling Fans Work?
Smart fans or wifi enabled ceiling fans work similarly to ordinary ceiling fans but you can control them wirelessly. You can easily stop or start them whenever you want while sitting on the chair or lying in bed.
You can use the home wifi or mobile phone apps to control/schedule them remotely from a specific distance. It means you don’t have to go to your room in order to turn your ceiling fan off. You can easily do that while sitting in your car, office, or any other room in the house.
Nowadays, a ceiling fan with light and remote is becoming more popular as it provides built-in lights and can be controlled without any hassle.
Things to Consider While Buying a Smart Ceiling Fan?
Airflow
The most important thing is airflow as you buy ceiling fans to get cool air. For shorter rooms, you can go for fans with 36, 46, or 48-inch blades. However, if you want to install the fan in a larger room, you should opt for a fan with 56-inch blades.
Lights
Modern ceiling fan models not only feature Wifi control but beautiful LED lights in them so you don’t have to install room lights separately. These wifi ceiling fans are equipped with 18 W to 36 W LED lighting with dimmer control.
Blades
You may also choose the number of blades in your ceiling fan. Usually, ceiling fans contain 3 blades but you can also choose a fan with 5 blades for decoration purposes. You can get ceiling fans with 3-12 blades but the number of blades doesn’t increase the efficiency of your fan. For air efficiency, you should read the fan specifications in the manual.
Color
Color is another important factor you should consider while buying a Wi-Fi-enabled ceiling fan. You can select any color according to your home design. It depends on the color theme of your house and then you can decide where you should install the ceiling fan with a specific color.
