“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | PartialPartial support — see the catch[1] | Named by Hubbell on its own product page — 'Conveniently operated through other smart home integrations with Alexa, Alarm.com, and the Google Assistant' — with the mechanism stated in the specification as 'Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Hub'. Recorded 'partial' rather than 'full' for a specific and important reason: the support is not this switch's, it is inherited from whatever Z-Wave hub you buy. Hubbell names no hub, publishes no command set, and cannot promise behaviour it does not control — two households running this switch on different controllers will get different Alexa experiences, and one running it on a hub with no Alexa bridge will get none at all. Transport is recorded cloud because that is what a hub-to-Alexa link ordinarily is, though the specific path depends on the hub.In Amazon Alexa you also need: a Z-Wave hub |
| Google Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch[1] | Named by Hubbell as 'the Google Assistant', with the same 'via Hub' qualification as Alexa. Rated 'partial' for the identical reason and it is worth stating rather than cross-referencing: this is a capability of the Z-Wave controller you choose, not of the switch. Hubbell publishes no command set and names no specific hub, so what Google can actually do with the fan — set a speed, or only switch it — is determined downstream of this product entirely.In Google Home you also need: a Z-Wave hub |
| Apple Home | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1] | Not established, and deliberately not converted into a 'no' despite the vendor's silence. Hubbell names Alexa, Alarm.com and Google Assistant and mentions Apple, HomeKit and Siri nowhere. But the architecture is exactly the reason silence cannot be read as absence here: this is a Z-Wave device whose platform reach is supplied by the hub, and several Z-Wave controllers do expose their devices to Apple Home. Whether that works for this switch depends on a controller Hubbell does not name and did not test. Unknown on both sides is the honest state — this is the same reasoning applied to the SmartThings cell. |
| SmartThings | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1] | Not established. Hubbell does not mention SmartThings, and no Samsung documentation naming this model was located. As with Apple, vendor silence is weak evidence for a Z-Wave device: SmartThings hubs include Z-Wave radios and pair certified Z-Wave devices routinely, so the plausible answer is 'probably, via the hub' — but 'probably' is not a record. Unknown on both sides, and a buyer who needs SmartThings specifically should confirm against the SmartThings device list rather than against this page. |
| Home Assistant | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[2] | The strongest cell on this record, and it comes entirely from the other side — Hubbell names Home Assistant nowhere. Home Assistant's official Z-Wave integration 'allows you to control a Z-Wave network from Home Assistant via the Z-Wave JS driver', IoT class 'Local Push', running a Z-Wave server and adapter on your own hardware with no cloud in the path. That makes this one of the few control routes for this switch that touches no vendor service at all. Rated 'full' on a device-CLASS match rather than a model list: Home Assistant supports Z-Wave networks generally and points to the Z-Wave JS device database rather than enumerating models on its page, so this specific product is covered as a certified Z-Wave device rather than by name — and that is the claim on this cell most exposed to the device database proving to lack a configuration file for it. ⚠ One real cost to state: this route requires buying a Z-Wave adapter (Home Assistant names its own Connect ZWA-2 as an example) and plugging it into the machine running Home Assistant. That is hardware, not just a setting.In Home Assistant you also need: a Z-Wave hub |
? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
Protocols: ZWAVE[1]
Needs before it works: Yes, unavoidably, and Hubbell says so in the same breath as the platforms: 'Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Hub'. This is a Z-Wave Plus certified device, and Z-Wave is not Wi-Fi — it does not talk to your router, it talks to a Z-Wave controller, and without one the switch is a wall control with no smart function at all. That controller is a separate purchase and this catalogue's other Z-Wave records show the range of what qualifies: a dedicated hub, a Home Assistant machine with a Z-Wave adapter, a SmartThings hub, or a security panel like Alarm.com's. ⚠ Read the name carefully, because it describes an architecture people miss: this is a 'Radio Frequency (RF) Decorator Fan Control'. The wall switch speaks Z-Wave to your hub AND radio frequency to the fan's own receiver — so the fan itself must be one this control can drive. Hubbell's stated compatibility is by motor type rather than by brand: 'Works with most Shaded pole and split capacitor driven motors'. That is a specification about your ceiling fan, not about your smart home, and it is the one to check first. Electrical ratings published: 2.5 A at 120 V. Hubbell does not state a neutral-wire requirement anywhere on the page, which is an omission rather than a 'no' — verify against the installation instructions before buying.[1]

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.
Subscription reality[1]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription, plan, tier or fee appears anywhere on the product page. Recorded 'none' on that basis, and the architecture supports it: a Z-Wave device has no manufacturer cloud to be gated behind — it talks to your hub, and whether anything is charged for is a question about that hub rather than about this switch. ⚠ One honest qualification specific to this product: Alarm.com, one of the three platforms Hubbell names, is a professionally-monitored security service normally sold through a dealer with a monthly fee. That fee is Alarm.com's, not Hubbell's, and it is not a subscription for this switch — but a buyer choosing this product because 'it works with Alarm.com' should know that the platform itself is a paid service.
Maintenance reality[1][2]
- Works without the internet: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network. A vendor cloud may still be involved in remote access.[2]
- A hardwired in-wall device, so there is nothing to charge or replace. cloudDependent is recorded false on architecture: Z-Wave is a local radio protocol and the switch reaches no manufacturer service of its own — Home Assistant's Z-Wave documentation describes the whole integration as local push with a controller running on your own hardware. Whether YOUR setup touches a cloud depends entirely on which hub you pair it with, which is the hub's property rather than this switch's. Published electrical specification: 2.5 A amperage rating at 120 V. ⚠ The compatibility fact most likely to cause a return is mechanical rather than digital: Hubbell states it 'Works with most Shaded pole and split capacitor driven motors', so the question is what motor your ceiling fan has. That is not something most fan listings make easy to find, and 'most' is doing real work in that sentence. Hubbell publishes no neutral-wire statement on this page — treat that as unrecorded rather than as 'not required'.
- Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether Hubbell (iDevices) publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
Start with the two questions that decide whether this product can work in your house at all, because neither is about smart homes. First, your fan's motor: Hubbell says the control 'Works with most Shaded pole and split capacitor driven motors', and 'most' is carrying weight in that sentence. Fan listings rarely advertise motor type, so this is a specification you may have to dig for, and getting it wrong means a control that does not drive your fan. Second, your hub: this is a Z-Wave Plus device, not Wi-Fi. It does not talk to your router. Without a Z-Wave controller it is an ordinary wall switch, and Hubbell states the smart-home support plainly as working 'via Hub'. Third, and this follows directly: every platform claim here belongs to the hub rather than to the switch. Hubbell names Alexa, Google Assistant and Alarm.com, but it names no hub, publishes no command set, and cannot control what your controller exposes — which is why those cells are rated partial rather than full, and why Apple and SmartThings are unknown rather than 'no'. A Z-Wave device's reach is a property of the system you build around it. Fourth, understand what you are buying commercially: this is a distributor product, not a retail one. Hubbell's page has a 'Request a Quote' button where a price would be, so there is no published price, no stock status, and none of the consumer-facing detail — app screenshots, setup guides, command lists — that a retail smart switch would carry. If you want to buy one this afternoon, this is not that product. Fifth, one thing Hubbell does NOT say, recorded as unrecorded rather than as reassurance: there is no statement anywhere on the page about whether a neutral wire is required. Check the installation instructions before you commit. Finally, the good news nobody advertises: Home Assistant drives Z-Wave locally through Z-Wave JS with no cloud at all, which for this switch is the deepest and most private control route available — at the cost of buying a Z-Wave adapter.
Who it's for
Someone who already runs a Z-Wave network — a Home Assistant household with a Z-Wave adapter, a Hubitat or SmartThings hub, or an Alarm.com system installed by a dealer — and wants a fan control that joins it rather than adding another Wi-Fi device and another vendor account. On that footing it is a sound choice: local radio, no manufacturer cloud, no subscription, and a hub you already trust deciding which platforms it appears in. It also suits a contractor or an electrician buying through distribution, which is the channel this product is actually sold in. Think twice if you do not own a Z-Wave controller, because the switch does nothing smart without one and the hub costs more than the switch. Think twice if you want to check compatibility quickly, since the deciding fact is your ceiling fan's motor type and Hubbell qualifies its own answer with 'most'. Think twice if you need Apple Home or SmartThings specifically, where neither side has said anything and the answer depends on hardware Hubbell never names. And think twice if you simply want to see a price and click buy — this page offers a quote request instead.
