Your Sofucor Smart Ceiling Fan offers three convenient ways to control its functions: the included remote control, the dedicated Smart Life mobile application, and voice commands via Alexa or Google Home.

The included remote control allows for direct operation of the fan and light. Buttons are clearly labeled for fan on/off, light on/off, fan speed adjustment, light brightness, light color temperature, and fan direction reversal. The remote can be mounted on a wall for easy access.

5.3 Smart App Control (Smart Life App)

Download the 'Smart Life' app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your fan with your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the app provides full control over all fan functions, including precise adjustments for light color temperature, brightness, 6 wind speed levels, and setting the timer function.

Integrate your Sofucor smart fan with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for hands-free operation. Enable the 'Smart Life' skill/action in your smart assistant's app and link your account. You can then use voice commands such as "Alexa, turn on the fan" or "Hey Google, set fan speed to 3."

5.5 Fan Speed Adjustment

The fan features a high-performance DC motor with 6 precise speed settings, allowing you to customize airflow from a gentle breeze to powerful cooling. Adjust the speed using the remote or the app to suit your comfort needs.

This image demonstrates the fan's six adjustable speed levels, ranging from a gentle breeze suitable for sleeping (Levels 1-2) to a strong wind for active environments (Levels 5-6), ensuring personalized comfort.

5.6 Lighting Control

The integrated LED light kit offers full adjustability. You can dim the light from 10% to 100% brightness and choose from three color temperatures: Warm White (3000K), Natural White (4000K), and Cool White (6000K). This allows you to set the perfect ambiance for any activity.

5.7 Reversible Function

The fan features a reversible DC motor, allowing for year-round comfort. In summer, the fan blades rotate counter-clockwise to create a downward airflow, providing a cooling effect. In winter, the blades rotate clockwise to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, distributing it evenly throughout the room.
