    I have completely embraced the smart home but can't seem to find a device that will control both my ceiling fan as well as the light built into it. Have several GE Z-switches that controls the fans off and on as well as the speed but the light still needs to be controlled from the original remote that came with the fan. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    You might find it easier to swap out the light bulb for a smart bulb and use the original remote to turn the light on so there's constant power to the socket, and then use whatever system you want to turn the light on and off (HomeKit, physical switch, etc).
