I have a ceiling fan that is wired into a single light switch (need to use remote while switch is to control light and fan), and I’d like to fix that so it works properly via the physical switch and in automations.
I’ve found the best buy guide fairly unreliable for switches in the US, so I thought I’d ask here…
I have mostly Aqara light switches, so I’d love to get the Aqara two button switch, but the US version isn’t supported by the Aqara Homey app.
I’m thinking the Lutron fan switch will work with Homey.

But I’m having a hell of a time finding a dual switch controller that will work. The Aqara and Aeotect dual controllers listed on the Best Buy guide either don’t appear to work or are not available in the US.
Any suggestions?
Shelly makes switch modules that appear to be listed in the Shelly app and as far as I can tell seem like they should work. My biggest problem is I don’t much understand all the specifics.
I’m just looking for a switch module I can wire into the ceiling fan to give me separate control over the fan and the light on a fan that is wired into a single switch. Seems like that should be fairly straight forward, but I’m not sure which switch module will work.
Did you get to solve that problem? I have 4 of those fans and the lights are integrated leds which makes it more of a challenge.
Looks like the Aqara T2 dual relay works with Homey now. I’m going to try setting that up in the ceiling fan, then maybe I can get the Aqara H2 switch to work with it.
I’ll update after I get it working or give up.
Do you have the specs of the fan? Meaning that is what matters. Here is a video from a friend about modules…https://youtu.be/5WXymS_6Ae0 Make sure you don’t have one of those DC or inverter fans…Let me know how it works because as I said I have four of them and they all only have one gang each. The Aqara T2 works with those DC fans but the ratings are different. Good luck, Keep me posted and be careful.
Have you ever thought of this,
The answer I was looking for months, you ChatGPT gave it to me and it works!
Yeah. The Aqara T2 dual relay works great with Homey now.
The ceiling fan is the next challenge. So many of them have a single wiring harness that doesn’t allow you to split out the light and the fan. At least the ones my wife like all seem to be like that.
Yeah, but If I can evade using modules, I go for the Reolink controller shown below.
