I'm using a Broadlink RM4 Pro for our ceiling fan (my wife bought it on Wayfair). It has the light integrated and is RF only. Out of sync isn't an issue for us. I don't need to know the light or fan state, since we only operate it while we're home.
I have one of the buttons on our bedside Picos programmed to toggle the light, and I'm using an Inovelli LZW36 as a button controller for the fan and light (not using the canopy module becuse it's not compatible with the fan). All works great, and most of the time we just use the fan remote. But we can use the LZW36 if we want to. Options are good.
I used @tomw 's Broadlink driver to capture the RF codes from the fan remote. Has been 100% reliable (which has been a surprise) for several years now. Not surprised that Tom's code has been reliable, but I'm pleasently surprised that the LZW36, together with the RM4 Pro (in another room), and the fan have just always worked perfect together.
Only complaint I have is with the fan itself. The integrated light, which we don't actually use very much, is around 3000ËšK (a little too far toward cool for my taste). It also flickers like mad when we're charging the car, so we don't turn it on at all during those times.
