Light/Fan switches

Looking to start upgrading my light switches to smart switches. More specifically the fans since none of them are remote operated. I have been seeing some ads for Caseta wireless, but the option I want does not appear to be available yet.
Anyone have recommendations for wireless light/fan switches. Right now, the focus would be something that lets me control the fan speed.

Also, is the fan on a seperate switch from the lights?

They are on the same switch. I do not know if the wires were combined to one switch and there is an option to split.

But it only turns on and off the fan/light at the switch? its not a dual purpose switch, is it?

I converted all my fans to use Wink/Smartthings and now I can fully control them using my phone, remote or Alexa. I haven't even picked the remote up in months and use Alexa almost 100% of the time. So much more convenient.

I like this one too, I've been trying to avoid having to wire anything additional to my fan. The spacing is already very tight.
If I cannot find a switch that controls it from there, looks like I may have to wait until March, I may have to go with this option.

Correct. The way it is currently wired the switch only cuts the power off, or sends power to the fan.
Speed of the fan is controlled at the fan, and if I only want the fan on I have to pull the string to turn off the light.

I bought a cheap double gang wifi switch off Amazon. Maybe $25. It allows me to control the overhead light and fan with my voice through Alexa. It's pretty sweet. Won't be able to change fan speeds though.
