Smart home appliances such as smart fridge, smart lighting, and smart air conditioner are getting popular for home end users. Smart fans as one of those smart devices are a part of a smart home that can be assumed as a factor of comfort, which may also reduce the electricity cost due to its high efficiency. Hence, this project aims to develop an alternative smart fan tackled from a comfort and cost perspectives. This project is done using as minimum budget as possible by using a combination of the already-available parts of the market. It is expected to develop a prototype of a cheap smart fan, which in turn becomes the starting point to allow further development of other smart home appliances
