Smart Fans

Discover the Best Smart Fans for Your Smart Home.

Smart fans offer a simple yet modern solution to keep your home cool and comfortable. They allow you to manage airflow in your space precisely, ensuring optimal comfort all day long.

In this guide, we’ll help you navigate the best options available. We’ll focus on smart fans fully compatible with Homey, ensuring a smooth and cohesive smart home experience.

Picking the Right Smart Fan

Smart fans vary widely in shape, size, airflow capacity, and smart control features. When choosing a smart fan, consider the following five key factors to ensure you make the best choice.

Airflow Capacity

First, consider the smart fan’s airflow capacity to determine how effectively it can circulate air throughout your space. The usual measurement for this is cubic meters per hour (m³/h). Fans with higher m³/h ratings are more suitable for larger rooms.

Fan Speed Settings

Additionally, various fan speed settings allow you to customize the airflow intensity to match your comfort needs. Whether you prefer a gentle breeze or a more powerful gust, you can adjust the fan speed accordingly. However, higher speeds may increase noise.

Size and Shape

Moreover, the size and shape of the fan influence its ability to fit into your space and effectively distribute air. For instance, larger fans cover bigger areas, while compact designs are ideal for tighter spaces.

Noise Levels

Furthermore, you should consider the noise levels generated at different fan speeds. Lower decibel ratings ensure the fan operates quietly enough not to disturb sleep or concentration.

Price

Lastly, price is a key factor. Balance your budget with the fan’s features, quality, and long-term energy savings to ensure you get the best value for your investment.

The Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate is a height-adjustable smart fan. Therefore, it effortlessly transforms from a table model with a maximum height of 58 centimeters to a floor model of 103 centimeters. It features a sleek and minimalist design and is available in a smooth, matte finish in black or white.

Living up to its name, the Whisper Flex Ultimate operates with minimal noise, producing only 13 decibels at low speeds. The Natural Wind Mode alternates wind speeds to simulate real wind. At the same time, Night Mode ensures a good night’s sleep with minimal noise and auto-dimming the display. The temperature-controlled mode allows the fan to adjust its speed automatically based on the room temperature.

At its maximum speed setting, the Whisper Flex Ultimate can deliver up to 2000 cubic meters per hour of airflow, quickly cooling your space. Also, the base features a digital display knob for selecting from 30 different speed levels and changing the operating mode instantly.

Once added to Homey, the Whisper Flex Ultimate allows users to remotely adjust the swing angles and fan speed. The fan is fully modular, and the company offers replacement parts for easy repairs.

As a drawback, this battery-operated fan can only operate for up to twelve hours on a single charge. Therefore, this may lead you to keep the fan plugged in most of the time.

The Dyson Cool™ Tower Fan model AM07 features a distinctive, bladeless design that resembles an elongated oval or a looped, upright rectangle. The sleek, modern shape is a hallmark of Dyson’s bladeless fan technology. It utilizes an air multiplier system to create smooth, uninterrupted airflow without visible blades.

The AM07 delivers a maximum airflow capacity of 500 liters per second or 1800 cubic meters per hour. Its horizontal swing of up to 90 degrees lets the fan circulate air across a wide area, enhancing its cooling efficiency.

Users can choose between ten different speed levels to control the cooling intensity. At the lowest levels, the Dyson AM07 produces a noise level of about 39 decibels. While it is quieter than other Dyson tower fans, it remains slightly louder than comparable models from different brands.

The AM07 is infrared-controlled and has a small remote allowing users to change the fan’s settings. However, once integrated with Homey, the remote control becomes unnecessary. You can turn the fan on or off, control oscillation, and adjust speed via Homey Bridge or Homey Pro.

The bladeless design with Dyson’s trademarked air multiplier technology, coupled with the premium build quality of the AM07, positions it as a higher-priced model. Therefore, it’s more expensive than most other fans on the market.

The Govee 36” Smart Tower Fan is an affordable, budget-friendly option for cooling your space with a smart fan. This model balances functionality and affordability. As a result, it’s a solid choice for those seeking smart features and effective cooling at an acceptable price tag.

The Govee Smart Tower Fan delivers up to 1200 cubic meters per hour of airflow with eight fan speeds. Depending on the speed, the fan produces noise levels between 34 and 50 decibels. This makes it adaptable for various cooling needs while maintaining a relatively quiet environment.

The Levoit 42” Classic Tower Fan is a versatile smart fan with flexible oscillation angles. It can swing up to 90 degrees horizontally and up to 60 degrees vertically, effectively cooling even large and spacious rooms.

This Levoit model can operate at twelve different speed levels. Additionally, it delivers an impressive airflow capacity of 2844 cubic meters per hour, which is higher than all the other models on our list. Therefore, the Levoit 42” Classic Tower Fan is ideal for larger rooms or users with rapid cooling needs.

The fan features multiple operating modes, including Auto Mode for hassle-free control, where the fan adjusts its speed based on room temperature using a built-in sensor. Additionally, it has a Turbo Mode for quick cooling and an Advanced Sleep Mode for easy, noiseless nights. 

This fan operates quietly, with noise levels ranging from 25 to 48 decibels, making it suitable for use in bedrooms and other quiet spaces. One thing to note is that while the fan oscillates up to 60 degrees vertically, this movement is automatic and not user-adjustable.

The Levoit Classic 42” connects to your home network via Wi-Fi, enabling remote control and scheduling through Homey Pro. You can monitor the built-in temperature sensor, toggle the fan, and change the operating mode.

To fully utilize the SwitchBot Battery Circulator Fan’s capabilities, you need a SwitchBot smart hub to integrate with Homey. Once connected, users can easily control the fan’s speed, operating mode, and power through Flows, offering seamless smart home integration.

The Xiaomi Smartmi Standing Fan 3 is a versatile and stylish smart fan designed to offer flexible cooling options in a compact form factor. It measures 96 x 34 x 33 centimeters and is well-suited for cooling small and large spaces.

The fan has a minimalist aesthetic. Its sleek LED screen enhances its modern look while providing clear, easy-to-read status information. Also, the fan’s anodized aluminum and ABS material body makes it durable and lightweight.

In addition, it provides 100 different speed levels, giving users precise control over their preferred cooling experience. Moreover, its seven-blade design promises quiet operation with an official noise range of 29 to 60 decibels at the highest speed.

The Natural Wind mode mimics the gentle variations of natural wind. As a result, it provides a comfortable and natural cooling sensation compared to constant airflow. Additionally, its sleep mode reduces the fan speed and noise to create a quieter environment, ideal for nighttime use.

Powered by built-in lithium batteries, the Smartmi Standing Fan 3 offers up to twenty hours of cordless use on a single charge. This battery life makes it highly portable and convenient for use in any room without needing to stay plugged in. Unfortunately, you cannot monitor the battery level through Homey.
