After a quick research in the App Store, I found about 9 HP23 supported apps and 2 apps for HP19 and earlier for ceiling fans. However, there are different types of support. Some apps support a specific type of ceiling fan, some apps support switches for ceiling fans. The apps also use different protocols, e.g. Cloud, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LAN. The test version of the official Tuya app ([link](https://homey.app/en-de/app/com.tuya/Tuya/test/)) supports generally fans and ceiling fans. So if a ceiling fan is compatible with the _Tuya Smart_ or _Smart Life_ app for iOS or Android, then it should also be supported by Homey. But as some devices are not yet fully supported in the official Tuya Homey app, it is best to check the relevant app topic beforehand → [[APP] Tuya - Connect any Tuya device with Homey (by Tuya Inc. / Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/tuya-has-officially-joined-the-talks-with-homey-program/106779) If a ceiling fan is silent or not, please check the specifications. ---

Maybe you should provide directly more information when you ask a question!!! > [@Xallias](#): > > and I dont need another hardware How do you imagine this? Every ceiling fan that I know of is operated via a switch or a remote control (IR or RF), or via WiFi. If the HP23 is within range of the ceiling fan, then a ceiling fan can possibly be controlled with the IR interface of the HP23. However, I think the chances are rather low: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/2/b2bd342302c562f9192412e2426cfe553499edba.png) In addition, the local situation is also important. Therefore, no one would be able to recommend an IR ceiling fan to you, I guess. The chances are much bigger with 3rd party IR hubs. First of all, they usually have a much stronger IR signal, secondly, they can be positioned better and thirdly, they usually support more devices than Homey. However, Tuya WiFi compatible ceiling fans don’t need any additional hardware. They just need to be connected to the home WiFi network and the Tuya Cloud account via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app. Then they can be controlled via the Tuya Homey app via WiFi. But I had already mentioned it in my first post… 🤷🏼‍♂️ ---

I use the brand CasaFan with wifi capability. And via the tuya app I can control the fan in Homey. Works perfect👌 ---

I have a Create Ceiling fan. With wifi protocol. The Create app is based on the Tuya app. Since Athom made the ‘Tuya App’ I now have it connected to Homey. Altough there is a ‘ceiling tile’ within this app, this doesn’t work. I have used the ‘onbekend tile’ (‘unknown tile’). I managed to create a flow in combination with the ‘virtuele apparaten’ app. It switches ON based on the temperature in my bedroom and it switched to a higher / lower level based on the increasing or decreasing temp. ![Screenshot_20240815_090357_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b3f8d37900fe53019e752306b94340b9b02e33ba.jpeg) ---

> [@Xallias](#): > > a silent ceiling fan You mentioned you want “a silent ceiling fan”. I have to mention you that the Create fan has 6 speed levels. I feel the wind at level 1 (It hangs above me while in bed) but I do not hear a thing. At speed 6 I have to hold on to the roof. ---

This here is the app, @Rogier_Verheugen is referring to: [Tuya App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.tuya) And in the App Store there are already some informations how to connect a Tuya (compatible) device to Homey: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/d/fdf96af138ebcb5346897167c724081dbf3dab91.png) There is also a dedicated app topic about the official Tuya app where you can also ask for help: [[APP] Tuya - Connect any Tuya device with Homey (by Tuya Inc. / Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-official-tuya-app-for-homey/106779) Just wanted to mention it… ---

Hi Xallias, Like Dirk says. Official Tuya app made by Athom. Do not use the ‘fan’ tile (doesn’t work) but the ‘unkown’ tile ---
