*assuming you know what it was made to do, and how to install it. I am writing this review to hopefully help potential buyers by providing info that I didn't have or couldn't find when I bought it. Here are some notes: It does not have changeable bulbs. It has built-in LED lights. They can be dimmed, but only through the provided remote, or through the Hunter app, or through the Apple HomeKit app once you've set them up. You will need a good, reliable Wi-Fi signal. You will also need your Wi-Fi to be a 2.4 Ghz network and not a 5Ghz or it will likely not connect. You will need your phone software up to date, and you will need to get the Hunter App for some features. I cannot speak to non-Apple device integration, since I only used my iPhone. The default setting has a loud - in my opinion far too loud - beep. This can be turned off in a hard to find setting in the Hunter app. The fan has four speeds, and it is very quiet. Siri can control the speed and dim the light by voice command once setup is complete. The fan and light will show as different devices in the Home app. It is not a “hugger” fan, and probably not ideal for low ceilings. I modified (shortened) our down-rod to avoid decapitation (shhh! Don't tell Hunter). We had a small hiccup with the dimming During setup, but it worked itself out within an hour, and I'm not sure why. Okay, I think that's about it. Good luck with yours. We are very happy with ours so far after about 6 months of owning it, with no problems at all.
Setting up the app was not as straight forward as it should be. This took several attempt. Would have been much easier had it come with simple Bluetooth pairing. Based on these challenges I have yet to set with Alexa. Remote has good range but could icons and functionality could be improved. On/off and fan directions all done with same button, which s confusing.
We bought this because of the connectivity, and the company video helped, but took several tries to get it working. But now have both Apple HomeKit and Alexa control. The light is quite bright, wish it was dimmable, but overall happy. Bought it manufacturer refurbished on eBay and it was as new.
It would be 5 stars if it didn't have the remote. The remote makes using my two switch setup a pain I'm the butt. And if a toddler steals and loses the remote, I can no longer change fan speed...
Tried connecting to app for a very long and frustrating time. Just found out from the reviews that the app does not work outside of US. That is just GREAT! Would have been great to know before I bought it. A line in the product description or app would certainly be helpful as I can NOT connect it to home automation or use my phone to control it. AND that beep when using the remote is just rude, especially if your partner is sleeping when you try to do anything.
I had hoped to use this for a living room light. The fan looks good, and moves air well. However the light is a ring of LEDs all pointing straight down, and the bowl doesn't diffuse this much. It winds up feeling more like a spotlight instead of actually filling the space with light. I think it would be fine on a covered patio, or in a smaller room.
Does not work well with HomeKit. Connection to HomeKit is very sporadic. Never works when you need use automation. Would not recommend if you are using HomeKit. I'm actually going to return all three fans I bought.
The SimpleConnect devices will no longer function with their latest app, which is required to work with Alexa or Google Assistant. You will be stuck in this continuous loop of adding the devices to your account, only to have the app remove the device soon after and ask you to add it again. Apple Homekit works as long as you never use any of Hunter's Simpleconnect apps. Hunter doesn't have any smart home expertise, and it's obvious they haven't invested in competent engineers in this space. So stay from them if this is what you're looking for.
I purchased a Hunter Signal and 2 Hunter Symphony fans three years ago. The Signal stopped working yesterday. Support diagnosed the receiver as being bad, which they informed me is NOT covered under warranty. When I asked the cost of a receiver I was told it was not replaceable and I would have to replace the entire fan. An unbelievable waste of money (original high cost of fan) and resources. Environmentally irresponsible.
These fans operate only on a remote that is supposed to pair with the fan easily. There’s only one problem; when the remote doesn’t pair, your fan doesn’t work. This happened when we first installed the fan and we had an electrician come out only to tell us that everything was wired correctly. Called Hunter. Yes, “a few of these fans have an issue with pairing”. They sent us another fan. Installed the second. It would not pair with the remote, but this time paired with the phone app....for 15 minutes. Then, the EXACT SAME ISSUE. Now we are out the money for the fan, the service call to the electrician (that was completely unnecessary), and all the time trying to make the fan work. I’m done with Hunter.
