This one fan automation has me stumped, Pico Fan Relay?

Well you already have the Inovelli fan module, so it's a bummer it doesn't fit the canopy. Can you return them?

I approached this differently when we had an AC fan motor. I bought the Caséta fan controller that doesn't need a canopy module. Then I added a double-gang plate and a pico to control smart bulbs in the fan. Of course this meant running another line to the fan with constant power for the bulbs. This was easier in our former 1920s house, than running another line to the switch box would have been.

Some suggestions for you might be to find a larger canopy if possible, or change to a DC fan.

When we moved into the new house, we chose a nice looking fan, but it has a DC motor. Nice and quiet, but this meant that my Inovelli Red Fan/Light controller canopy module couldn't be used. The fan has an RF remote, so I bought a Broadlink RM 4 Pro and captured the codes with @tomw 's driver. The nice part about an RF controlled fan rather than IR is that I can have the RM4 Pro in another room and it still works fine.

I still use my Inovelli Fan/Light switch, but it's only as a button controller for the fan and light. For the track light, you could add a Caséta Pico to a double-gang plate (if you have Pico buttons). If you don't have Lutron Pico switches and buttons, that's a very nice addition to your smart home that you'll never regret.
