They have a $400 remote. Was just hoping to have phone controls though.

do they sell smart fan switches that can control the fan speed at the switch as well as in the app?

that should have worked

how long is the green light coming on? it should be solid for 1-2 seconds, not a 1/2 second flash.

try excluding it (long green light on hub) then going in and adding it as a generic zwave switch instead of going through inclusion mode and see what happens.

how close is the hub during this process?

well that should do it then.

are you 100% sure a generic 'switch' didn't appear in your lights area afterward?

it doesn't tell you anything..you'll just notice a new light switch on your 'lights' tab in the app that wasn't there before.

yea i have that feeling. I saw it last night but subconsciously thought it went to another light i had set up. Just now when i was sitting on the Thinking Throne i saw that switch and noticed all my other bulbs were named "GE LINK Bulb" not "LIGHT BULB"

long-press it and when the switch details come up you'll see the nice little GE logo.

When do you think C by GE will be able to be controled via the hub?

apparently my GE fan control does this already. i've always adjusted the speed on the app itself and not at the wall. Learned something new today.

So, if there weren't any in that search than there aren't any available. People are just lazy and want to use this thread as their fricking smart home search browser. Sadly, CAD is more than happy to do all the work for most of these jokers.
