However, Modern Forms makes lots of models with a variety of sizes and styles (and prices).

I purchased the Mykonos model because it matches the color and style of the room and because it’s one of their lower cost models. I will keep in touch with support and update this article when the problem is solved. I really hope they can figure out these connectivity issues because the fan is great and the smart integrations are sweet when the fan stays connected. Everyone seems to say the same thing, “fan’s great, app sucks.” Reviews of the app (both iOS and Android) are filled with customers that have had similar connectivity problems. I wondered if I was the only one with this problem and unfortunately it seems to be a widespread issue. Frequently I have to repeat the Alexa command for the fan to respond. Now, the fan and app work fine, but Alexa is still a bit iffy. Then I disabled and re-enabled the Alexa skill.

In order to fix it, I power cycled the fan’s WiFi module by shutting it off at the breaker. Then one day I asked Alexa to turn on my fan and got no response.

I had zero problems with WiFi connectivity for about two weeks. It responds quickly to all my Alexa commands and works reliably with my SmartThings hub. UPDATE: It has been several months since I originally wrote this, and since then, the fan has been working flawlessly.

How do Modern Forms fans compare to other smart fans?.

Use with other hubs or voice assistants.
