Schedule fans to adjust speed or turn on and off at certain times of the day, including at sunrise or sunset

Utilize an auto-shutoff feature

Enhance the Smart Home with the Decora Smart Wi-Fi Product Family

Homeowners can customize their smart home experience by connecting the Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller to other Decora Smart dimmers, switches, and smart plugs. Additionally, as with all hubless Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi devices, the intelligence is built into the Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller device itself. A Wi-Fi connection is all homeowners need for fast set-up and they can rest assured knowing that their lighting and fan speed control schedules will continue to run even during temporary internet outages.

The 4-Speed Fan Controller also leverages the popular Decora form factor and styling for a seamless, consistent aesthetic throughout the home with compatible accessories including three-way devices, color change kits, and included screwless wallplates. The design features true rocker action, so pressing the top turns the fan on and the bottom turns it off. The vertical bar on the right side of the paddle is used to increase or decrease the fan speed manually. Vanishing LEDs on the left side of the paddle show current and target fan speed levels with real-time feedback for the most professional installation.

The Fan Speed Controller is compatible with all products that support Amazon Alexa, including the new Leviton Voice Dimmer, providing voice control such as, "Alexa, turn dining room ceiling fan to High." Additionally, the DW4SF works with Google Assistant devices making control as simple as, "Ok Google, turn Ceiling Fan On."

The new Fan Speed Controller is compatible with pull chain ceiling fans without electronic control and can be utilized in 3-way installations utilizing the DD00R remote. Ceiling fan light kits can be controlled separately by the DW6HD Decora Smart Wi-Fi 600W Dimmer in a separate gang.
