Are you tired of sweltering summer days indoors, or looking for a sleek solution to cool your patio without a fuss? The Mykonos Smart Indoor and Outdoor 5-Blade Ceiling Fan might just be the breath of fresh air you’ve been seeking. Not just any ceiling fan, this one comes dressed in a Bronze/Dark Walnut with a 3000K LED Light Kit and remote control. Plus, it’s like Mr. Congeniality, getting along with Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung Things, and both iOS and Android apps.
Unpacking the Smart Features
The Smart Connection Game
Now, before you get into anything else, let’s talk about how smart this fan is. If you’ve been trying to prove your home is the smartest one on the block, this fan can be your crown jewel. You see, it plays nice with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung Smart Things. Just imagine not having to get off your couch to fiddle with the fan speed when binge-watching the latest mystery series. Just holler to Alexa, and voilà.
And for those who like to think they’re living in the future, soon you’ll be able to integrate it with Savant, Lutron Homeworks, and Nest. No time machine needed, just a little patience for the updates.
App Control and Beyond
Okay, let’s be honest. Most apps are a nuisance. They take up home screen space and rarely get used. But the Modern Forms App? It’s going to be your new best friend. You can control the fan speed, use smart features like ‘breeze mode’—which is literally like being kissed by a soft wind—and adaptive learning. Yes, adaptive learning. The fan learns from your habits—sort of like your TV recommendations but without the weird choices.
Now, before you let it go to your head, remember, syncing is simple and just might save you some dollars in electricity costs, especially if you have a habit of leaving fans on in empty rooms.

Motor Magic
Now, the fan is powered by incredibly efficient DC motors, which are whisper-quiet. Let me tell you, these motors make traditional fans seem like old beater cars next to a shiny new electric vehicle. They’re up to 70% more efficient than those other clunky fans. And for someone who loves a good nap, the absence of noise—especially the dreaded rattle or click—makes this fan a godsend.
They are so confident in their production that every fan is factory-balanced and sound tested, assuring you it will neither wobble awkwardly nor attempt to sound like it’s starting a helicopter take-off.
Lights, Angles, and More
Added value comes in the form of a replaceable LED luminaire powered by WAC Lighting. You get a seamless control over brightness, available in three temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, and 3500K. Unless you have a particular fixation on lumens, you’ll likely do fine with any of these options and might even stick with the default setting.
On installation, flexibility comes in handy. If your ceiling slopes, fear not—it’s still installable up to a 32-degree angle, other angles available if you’re feeling particularly avant-garde with your ceiling architecture. And the downrods are sold separately for those daring enough to venture longer lengths. Makes you wonder, is there a ceiling too high for our dreams, or just for this fan?
Installation & Control Options
A Remote Too?
Almost forgot, in this ever-expanding web of connectivity, there’s a no-nonsense remote control included. With a cradle too. Someone should award this for thoughtful inclusion. It’s battery-operated and Bluetooth compatible, which means improved range, and, get this, you can control an endless number of fans as long as they remain within Bluetooth range.
Wall Control Options
If you prefer the traditional touch or just like having options, there’s also a Bluetooth hardwired wall control you can buy separately. This can be set up as 3 or 4-way switches. Do I understand the technicalities of that? Not entirely. But what I do know is the more people pushing buttons, the merrier.

To simplify everything, here’s a table breaking down the pros and cons of this fan:
