  1. 3/5App ok, but not all features working as expected

    I was able to add and control 2 new fans. Had difficulty updating the firmware for one but after several tries it upgraded succesfully. Hovewer I have not been able to upgrade the controls or the wall outlet, not sure if these devices need to be upgraded as well. Controls show up in the account but then the upgrade screen is empty, scanning for the devices does not return any. Most important, the app does not seem to sync the actual status of the fan. Turning the fan on/off from the control or wall outlet does not change the status shown in the app. Switching from one fan to the other in the app does not show the actual or the last select state either. Unable to monitor the status as is.

  2. 4/5Firmware finally fixed!

    I own two of WAC’s smart fans. I specifically purchased these for their smart capabilities as I read they work well with Home Assistant. After installing them, I encountered an issue where the fan connects and everything works fine for about a week, and then stops responding and appears offline. The fan is still connected to my WiFi (I can see it on my router) but it won’t respond to pings or commands to operate the fan. I have to shut off the power to the fan for a few seconds and turn it back on to force it to reboot, and then the fan will come back online and will work perfectly fine for about another week. Both of my fans did this same thing at random times, so I know it’s a firmware issue and not something with my network. Working with support was tedious. It took 8 months and 73 emails but finally the issue has been resolved by way of them releasing a firmware update. The fans have now been stable and I am pleased with them again. I wish they would support Apple Home Kit (they do support local control if you use the third party integration in Home Assistant) but there are also a few missing API commands like activating the “breeze” mode. So overall I am happy again with my purchase but do fear that if something breaks again, it will take forever to get it fixed.

  3. 1/5Used to work

    It is so frustrating to have issues with these smart fans. I currently have 6. When a fan has a problem, it requires removing it from the ceiling and often getting a new transmitter or receiver. I have had to change out a receiver three different times in the two years I’ve had these fans. Currently like somebody else’s review I have had the issue of two fans disconnecting from the Wi-Fi disappearing from the app and forcing me to add them back continuously while they continue to beep and even though I add them back, they disappear again. I hate these fans now!!!

  4. 1/5Waste of time

    Update: Even with the recent app update, I still have trouble using Alexa to operate the fan. It works for a while and then quits. Original Review: No app update for three years speaks volumes. I purchased my fan two years ago. Alexa integration mostly worked for about a year. For the last year I mostly operate the fan using the phone app. When I’m feeling industrious, I try to fix the Alexa connective issues. I waste time troubleshooting via the Alexa app, then the WAC app and come up empty handed, walk away, only to repeat the process later. I won’t try again until or unless they update their app. They need to drop SMART from the name of their fans. :/

  5. 1/5Awful

    I spent hundreds of dollars to purchase three fans and install them. I was incredulous to find that I had to pay three times, ones for each fan, to operate them remotely. The application is extremely unreliable.I saw another review which stated that it only works about 30% of the time, and this has also been my experience. I have spent hours over the past two years configuring and reconfiguring these fans to work with my phone. It’s been extremely frustrating. I have attempted to contact the company about this and cannot get a response. A miserable experience.
