Reddit mentions of Lutron PD-FSQN-WH Caseta Wireless Smart Fan Speed Control, White

1. You don't mount fans to light boxes. You mount them to fan braces like this. They are SUPER easy to install.
   
   
2. When you do this, install a wireless remote control or a basic wall switch with remote (I use these) or a crazy voice-activated one like this. You have to do this BEFORE you mount the fan to the ceiling.

don't see why it would be any different than controlling a ceiling fan.

No worries. I personally think it’s fun to think through this stuff!

Correct— you’d want to get this switch

And you’d want to get this hub

Lutron makes a fan switch, if you want to go that route. It will work with google home, but you would have to have a separate switch for the fan and light for this to work though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1GXM38/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FzE7CbSMX6SF7

Unfortunately there is no all in one switch to control the fan and light at the same time but lutron makes a smart fan speed switch below

I personally be like the failsafe a physical switch provides. I've had those controls go haywire, or get damaged, or lost.

Plus I like having the option to control this or a future fan with something like this

I did this to my house a few months ago to three bedrooms, all three fans had one switch for power but in order to turn the fan on/off we had to pull the chain. I ended up adding a dual switch box and adding an additional switch and running 12/3 wire so I could adjust speed control. All of the fans had to be removed and I had to go up in the attic which is never fun and locate the wiring in the fan in blown in insulation. I had to also add junction boxes because the wiring to the fans was a mess. There was 3 different wires per fan going in. The fan is just on a regular switch now but I will eventually add these https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Wireless-Single-Pole-PD-FSQN-WH-Assistant/dp/B07N1GXM38/ref=sr_1_4?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs4WZ5Lqr5AIVTvDACh2F6QFYEAAYAiAAEgKmt_D_BwE&hvadid=338638128383&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9022848&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=b&hvrand=2184929728076076276&hvtargid=kwd-584282680984&hydadcr=6949_9591722&keywords=lutron+caseta+fan+speed+control&qid=1567197826&s=gateway&sr=8-4

so that I can adjust speed on fan as well as control them with our iphones and have them turn off automatically in the mornings.

You mentioned he's going to stack the switch, so something like this? https://www.build.com/fanimation-wc2/s1631826?uid=3871881&source=gg-gba-pla_with_promotion_3871881!c1710655136!a69464684849!dc!ng&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9KXIo7ur5AIVwcDACh3b6AiAEAQYASABEgIdpfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I don't know if you're paying too much, depends what the cost of living is where you are. You could get another estimate and compare but don't always go with the cheaper guy because it's cheaper.

Awesome.

I know this is a reach, but what else would I need to make this work with HomeKit? HomeBridge? I do have an extra raspberry pi I could use.

My use case is really simple. No light, only ceiling fan. I currently use this switch:
