Moes Star Ring Ceiling Fan Control Dimmer Switch Review: Fan Speed and Dimming in One Wi-Fi Gang
The Moes Star Ring Smart Ceiling Fan Control Dimmer Switch replaces the wall control of a ceiling fan with a light kit, putting a 4-speed fan control and a stepless light dimmer behind one gang. It joins 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without a hub, works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Home Assistant through Tuya, and adds schedules, timers and power-loss memory. The catch is the wiring: it needs a neutral wire and separate fan and light load wires, it is single-pole only, and it only drives AC motor fans up to 165W.

Who is the Moes Star Ring fan and dimmer switch for?
It suits a room with a ceiling fan and light kit that are wired to a single wall box with two separate load wires and a neutral. Instead of pull chains or two dumb switches, one smart switch controls both: 4 fan speeds and a 1% to 100% dimmer for the lights, from the wall, the MOES app or a voice assistant.
What the Moes Star Ring switch offers
The fan channel handles AC motor ceiling fans up to 1.5A (165W), and the light channel dimmable lights up to 4A (440W). A 7-LED bar shows the current fan speed or brightness, a double press switches the plus and minus buttons between the two, and the Star Ring glow helps find the switch at night; the backlight can be turned off in the app for a dark bedroom. The app adds schedules, countdown timers, routines and family sharing, and remembers the last state after a power cut. Voice control works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and Home Assistant can reach it through its Tuya integration.
What to know before you buy
Installation has more prerequisites than a regular switch: a neutral wire, two separate load wires for fan and light, and a single-pole circuit (it cannot be used in a 3-way setup). It is not compatible with DC motor fans, exhaust fans, fans with a built-in remote receiver or smart bulbs. It only connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, has no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter support, and MOES publishes no energy monitoring or protection ratings for it.
Is the Moes Star Ring fan and dimmer switch worth it?
For an AC ceiling fan with a dimmable light kit and the right wiring, it is an inexpensive way to get independent fan speed and dimming control in one gang with voice and schedule support. Homes with DC fans, 3-way circuits or an Apple Home setup should look at a switch built for those.
