I plan on installing a living room fan. I prefer pull chain fans, as the minimal amount of wiring crammed under the canopy. Would be great to control my fan via my Lutron app. Is this switch compatible with all pull chain fans and reliable? Thanks

    You don’t need a pull chain fan.

    If you have separate wiring for lights and fan, you can use a remote controlled fan as long as it is AC-powered and has a separate remote receiver in the canopy. You just bypass the remote receiver and wire the fan directly to AC power, then the Lutron fan switch acts as the speed controller.

    This applies to any AC fan and wall mounted fan switch. I’ve done it several times. It works perfect (and looks better than pull chain fans)
