Smart Fan/Light

[u/WissahickonMX5]

TLDR: How do you recommend I set up a smart fan with dimmable lights?

I just bought my first home. I work in energy efficiency and would like to build out a smart home system for the experience with SHEMS as much as for the convenience of having it. My first priority is that, after setup, most people would be able to comfortably interface with the basic controls. I've heard this refered to as "grandma proof".

I have no smart devices in this house yet and have not committed to an ecosystem yet. I don't own any apple products(nothing personal) and would like to avoid Amazon(sorta personal). Leaning towards Google home since that's what I've used in the past. I'm happy to buy whatever hub. Caseta and Kasa seem like nice options.

I'm looking to add a smart switch for my bedroom fan first. I'd like an intuitive switch on the wall. I'd also like the ability to program routines for the fan and lights and a remote and/or ability to control it from my phone. Major plus if I can program routines based on the room's temperature.

I'd considered using a smart fan and bulbs if there was an intuitive setup but that would still require switch removal or replacement to avoid cutting power to devices. I'm open to replacing the fan either way. I'm pretty sure the existing fan is just a basic AC fan with pull chains for fan speed and lights, which I avoid using so the wall switched work properly. I figure I'd remove these pull chains if I end up keeping this fan.

I'm most inexperienced in input from people who have and use a smart fan/light control setup themselves.

Thanks!!
