Smart life fan remote not showing up in Google home

The light for the ceiling fan shows up in Google home but not the fan. Any ideas? This is a recent issue. It used to show up in Google home but not anymore.

A1:

Mine just did the same thing a couple days ago I tried relinking it also deleted that app and treid renaming it.. it worked until a few days ago then the fan portion just disappeared from the Google home app. I seem to have issues about once or twice a month with Google home possibly coinciding with a update it does things like certain plugin lamps quit functioning and presence sensing on my phone quit working. I’d love if someone had a fix or workaround for this because I used this option of telling Google to turn my fan off and on all the time thanks!

A2:

I can confirm the fix works. I just did it on two fans.

1. Completely remove existing fan from smart life app by selecting the pencil and then “remove device” followed by “disconnect and wipe data”

2. Reset the fan module by cutting power for 10 seconds

3. Add the module back to smart life manually and select “small home appliance” and then “fan wifi” If smart life fails to find your module cut power again for 10 seconds and then after restoring power press and hold “light” and “high” on your remote until the module beeps. Then go back to smart life and manually add the small appliance

A3:

I found a workaround, if you’re already running home assistant you can expose the fan light to google assistant this way.. this is the only solution that worked for me! You can control brightness & colour temp like any other light doing it this way, hopefully a proper solution happens sometime in the future by Google.
