![Control Your Ceiling Fan with Your Phone, Alexa, GA, IFTTT, & More Using BOND
Controlling your ceiling fan through your home automation system has been difficult using traditional smart switches or other DIY options. The best method that Ive found is using a RF wifi hub connected to Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, etc. This video shows the setup and operation of the BOND by Olibra. It uses IR and RF to talk to various devices.
