All in all, whilst it may cost significantly more than a budget fan, the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator offers so many added extras that it's definitely our first choice when it comes to beating the heat.

Well-executed design, innovative oh-so-stylish bladeless design, and powerful multifunctional performance mean a Dyson fan easily stands out from the crowd. A remote control puts your fan controls right at your fingertips so you can easily adjust the speed or lighting to set the perfect mood without having to cross the room to a wall switch or interrupt your activities.Again, this is a particularly useful to have if you plan ti use your fan during the night as it means you don't have to get out of bed to adjust the fan speed, direction, or to turn it on or off.

In our tests, we found the unexpected self-assembly a big annoyance, but as long as you're prepared for it and have the dexterity to set it up, then you only have to assemble it once. This fan boasts an impressive 30 fan speed settings, an ultra-quiet sleep mode of 13dBa, a 12-hour battery life, and wireless capabilities, allowing you to take it with you wherever you go.Also, the Enbrighten switches are easily adapted to 3-way switching with the Enbrighten Add-on Switch. Smart air fans come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours, allowing you to choose the best fan for your space.

The aluminium twist control knob with a high-resolution LCD screen is placed in the centre of the interface, making it easy to operate. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Enter Dyson, long the leader when it comes to smart home electricals, and its Dyson Purifier HEPA Cool™ Formaldehyde purifying fan which not only cools warm air, but ‘washes’ it of nasty particles like formaldehyde (emitted from household paint, varnishes and printers), nitrogen dioxide (caused by road traffic, tobacco and fuel-burning heaters), PM10 particles from pollen and allergens (a godsend for hayfever sufferers and asthmatics) and general household odours (think cooking, pets and kids). Additionally, the 12-hour timer mode option allows you to control when your fan turns off, making it an energy-efficient choice. The bladeless design means its presence won’t keep you up at night, and the nine-hour timer can help to save energy and control the room’s temperature.

How do I insure that the wall control setup also accommodates BOND and does not create any conflicts. A budget fan will help to create a breeze, but the downsides are likely to be that dreaded drone of fan noise, and a lack of functionality. The Duux Whisper Fan is a prime example of a smart fan that comes equipped with timer mode functions ranging from 1-12 hours, making it perfect for summer nights and added convenience. Looking at the Aeotec Nano switch as a remote relay installed in the fan box, with a wireless smart wall switch of some sort.
