Best Smart Ceiling Fans in India (September 2023)

The Orient Electric Aeroslim is an IoT-based smart fan that lets you control its operations through your smartphone or via your Alexa-enabled / Google Assistant-enabled smart home devices. One of its handy features includes fan scheduling - which means you can determine when the fan switches itself off and on. As a working professional returning home to a cool living room, you’d probably enjoy this feature the most. Based on the weather, you can also use the turbo mode or breeze mode, thereby customising the overall efficiency and speed of the fan.

The Orient Electric Aeroslim is made of glass-filled ABS, thereby ensuring a certain level of durability for the fan blades. There’s an LED light at the centre of the fan, and it’s equipped with features like Eye Comfort and dim light so that you can create the perfect ambience. This should make it a pretty good purchase for those intending to use this in their study rooms.

Additionally, the fan is claimed to offer up to 40% energy savings, which should knock off a sizable chunk of your electricity bill (when used optimally). If you’re operating this fan via its app, note that you can connect other fans in your home on the same app itself (provided they are all the Orient Electric Aeroslim, of course).

Don’t you just hate it when your slumber’s interrupted by a buzzing mosquito? The LG FC48GSSA1 is a smart fan that promises to get rid of this problem. Sounds odd, right? How can a fan help you get rid of mosquitoes of all things? Well, this fan is equipped with a special mosquito-repellant technology that should help you enjoy uninterrupted sleep. When switched on, this technology makes the fan emit ultrasonic waves that, to mosquitoes, are just as annoying as their buzzing is to us. As a result, they stay away.

The LG FC48GSSA1 can be controlled via Alexa and should thus turn out to be a good purchase for those who want all their home appliances to function efficiently through voice commands. The centre of the fan has an LED display that shows you the settings you’ve selected, making the process of taking out your smartphone and checking the LGThinQ app redundant. Having said that, this app does help you control and modify settings, so don’t let yourself believe that you won’t need it at all!

Hate the sound of a whirring fan when you’re trying to nap? Don’t worry because the LG FC48GSSA1 has been biometrically designed with three blades to ensure minimal noise.

The Atomberg Renesa Smart+ is an IoT-enabled smart fan that supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, making it apt for consumers who have access to either of the two voice assistants. This fan leverages the brand’s BLDC motor claimed to help you save 65% on electricity bills. Though the smart fan’s price may be considered slightly steep, the brand claims that the fan practically pays for itself in just two years through these savings.

If you live in an area that experiences frequent voltage issues and are sick of your fan running slower than a snail in a hurry, then the Atomberg Renesa Smart+ might be an appropriate choice for you. This is because it runs on inverter stabilisation technology and promises to operate at the same speed irrespective of voltage fluctuations.

Features like timer mode, sleep, boost and speed control should let you customise its operations to suit your needs with ease.

Humidity is arguably the worst form of heat - no matter what you do, that icky-sticky feeling just doesn’t go away. Of course, rather than turning the AC on (and watching your electricity bills skyrocket), you can just get a smart fan that’s designed to combat humidity - the Havells Carnesia i.

The Havells Carnesia i has a special smart mode that allows it to sense the humidity levels and temperature in your room and adjust the speed accordingly. You can use Alexa or Google Assistant to select different operational modes such as schedule mode, breeze mode, sleep mode, and smart mode. You can also use the brand's app on your smartphone to control the fan’s operations.

Anchor by Panasonic is another smart fan on this list that has a humidity and temperature setting. Such fans are arguably the best smart fans for those who live in the coastal region, where humidity is a constant factor in one’s life.

Many Panasonic’s home appliances work on the Mirae App (which is the brand’s smart app), and the same holds for this fan. You can either control its operations through the app or use Alexa or Google Assistant to change the mode, switch it on and off, control other smart home devices, or simply alter the speed. The fan is made with high-quality double ball bearings designed to reduce operational noise.

Worried about your fan blades getting rusty? With the Halonix Smart Fan, you don’t have to be as it has an anti-rust coating that ensures durability. It means you don’t have to worry about blackened fans over time. If you’re looking for a smart fan with Alexa, this might be the right bet for you. You can control the fan’s operations by voice commands as it is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa both. It also comes with remote control.

The Halonix Smart Fan offers a few different modes for you to choose from - the turbo mode that increases the fan’s speed and boosts the air delivery rate, temperature mode designed to combat humidity, timer mode that lets you select time for the fan to switch on and off, and nature mode designed to emulate the feel of a natural breeze.

If your home’s decor is rustic and you love wood (and earth tones), then the Havells Stealth Wood may be the perfect fan for you. Its aesthetic appeal and flawless mimicry of a wooden finish make it one of the best smart fans. Compared to typical smart fan prices, this one is undoubtedly priced a little higher. However, that is because it’s a premium product.

The Havells Stealth Wood can be controlled via voice commands as it is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It has a sensor that lets it gauge the humidity and temperature in the room and alter its operations accordingly. This mode is ideal for those pre-monsoon days when the weather oscillates between brightly sunny to murky and cloudy within minutes.

If you install more than one model of this fan in your home, you don’t need multiple apps to control them - they can all be registered and controlled via the same user profile. This should make altering the settings of any fan at will fairly easy for you.

If you’re remodelling your home and want every element in it to follow a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, then you should consider getting the Crompton Silent Pro Enso. Apart from its beautiful form factor, this fan’s blades have been designed to ensure a higher air delivery than regular fans. This is because its aerodynamic design is said to reduce any friction between the blades and the air, thus increasing the fan’s rotational speed.

Its Intelligent Memory feature helps it remember the mode it was previously on (before you turned it off) so that when you switch it on, it can operate in the same mode. The timer function can be used to ensure the fan automatically switches off or on at a given time. You know that age-old trick parents use to get their kids out of bed - switching the fan off? You can now do that without actually standing in the room, which leaves you free to attend to other chores.

Why buy a smart bulb and a generic fan when you can buy a product that combines the two? The OTTOMATE Prime Lumen is an IoT-enabled fan with an LED light at the centre. You can use the OTTOMATE app to control not only the colour of the LED light but also its overall intensity and temperature. This way, whether you’re reading or watching TV, the lighting will always suit your needs.

Additionally, the OTTOMATE Prime Lumen has 100 different speed options as it uses a smart algorithm to bring you different speeds and air delivery rates. You can tweak all of this by using the app. It offers three different modes - Turbo mode for high-intensity air delivery, Otto mode (get it?), which allows it to sense the humidity and alter the settings on its own, and Breeze mode, which mimics a gentle sea breeze.

If you’ve got an Echo Dot in your home and are looking for smart fans with Alexa, then the Luminous Audie is certainly one of the best smart fans for you. You can use voice commands to change fan speeds and modes and confirm fans’ operational status in different rooms. As the Luminous Audie has wide aluminium blades, you can expect a good airflow. Aluminium blades are also non-corrosive, so you don’t have to worry about rust.

You can set up multiple users on its app so that everyone in your home can control the fans when needed, whether they are using the app itself or giving voice commands.
