best zwave switch for fan switch

[csullivan2005]

from my research so far it appears only leviton and GE make zwave fan speed switches.

Is this true and if so which one works best? ae they compatible with all fans? I also need to by new fans too. I also read that only leviton supports instant status. I currently have all leviton light switches in my house that report states instantly to homeseer. Love it! If GE doesn't do instant status is it worth getting still and if is it worth getting would constant polling the GE device be the solution or creating an event to poll for its device changes?

thanks

That's just a relay, not a fan speed controller. I'm not aware of any fan controllers other that the GE. I'll have to look into the Leviton, though I'm sure it's super expensive.

I have the Leviton. Looks just like a light switch.

I use Levitons too. Works fine with fans with AC motors. Note that many new fans come with DC motors and the GE and Leviton Fan controllers are not compatible with them.

I have 9 of the GE (Jasco) Fan control along with a couple of the dummy switches (for the 2 rooms that have 3 way switch for the fan). I set the fans on high with the pull chain and run the speed from the switch. I have Hunter Douglas fans and the two with HS work great.

I only wish my fans had auto reverse. I still have to flip the stupid switch to make them go reverse for winter (such as is it in southern Texas).

I have events with my zooz sensors so if a room gets to hot, the fans turn on low, med or high. I can also do it with the Echo.

I had one that made a fan hum so I got a replacement and it corrected the issue.

All the lights are on different lines so they all have smart dimmers and I put LED bulbs in all my fans.

I have 6 of the Leviton fan switches and recommend them. They don't make any noise, work perfectly with the various fans I have, and have been reliable for years. Leviton created a very small button at the top to manually adjust the speed which is hard to locate quickly, but it's not a show-stopper.

Control from HS has been flawless. Instant status does generally work, but it isn't perfect since Leviton is at the mercy of the Z-Wave non-guaranteed delivery protocol. Each switch must be within direct range of a Z-Wave controller for instant status to have a chance.
