How to synchronise your MAUI Smart Ceiling Fan

The term Smart Home is on everyone’s lips, and nowadays it is very easy and inexpensive to create a smart home. Thanks to smartphones and smart speakers for voice control, we can control a large part of our home and create tasks and routines that make our daily lives easier.

That’s why we have created MAUI, the smart ceiling fan that you can control via a simple app or voice commands. It is compatible with the “Smart Life” app (available on iOS and Android), and with Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices. Below, we explain step by step the synchronisation and configuration process with these apps.

Whether you want to control your fan via your smartphone or by voice commands, the first thing you need to do is to synchronise it with the Smart Life app. You will need to follow the steps below:

1. Download and install the app on your mobile device.
2. Access the app and, if you don’t already have one, create a user account by following the steps indicated.
3. Once you are registered, log in to your account.
4. Press the “Add device” button on the main screen.
5. Turn off the power to the fan and after a few seconds turn it back on.
6. On the fan controller, press the “ON/OFF fan” button two short presses and one long press until you hear the signal coming from the fan.
7. On your mobile phone, click on the “Appliances” tab in the app and select the “Fan” option.
8. Connect your Wi-Fi network to the app by entering the password.
9. Select the “Restart device” option so that the app synchronises with the ventilator and wait a few seconds while the connection between the devices is established.
10. The paired ventilator device will appear on your screen.
11. You can now control your ventilator via the app.

Now that you have your fan synchronised with the Smart Life app on your smartphone, you can create a link to other apps for control via smart speakers. One of the best known is the Alexa system, created by Amazon. To create the link between your smart speakers and your fan, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Amazon Alexa App previously installed on your mobile phone.
2. Access the app and, if you don’t already have one, create a user account by following the steps indicated.

10. Log in with your Smart Life app username and password to give your Alexa device access to the Smart Life app.
11. Access the “Devices” section where the fan and light will appear as separate devices.
12. You can now control your fan via the Amazon Alexa app or via voice control.

If, on the other hand, you have a Google Home control system in your home, you will need to follow the steps below:
