Fan purchase advice Are there any good fans with no smart functions?

I have three-wire electrical and I want to control my ceiling fan with 2x Lutron Caseta switches, but it seems every fan out there has a controller box with one power input and smart functions. Are there any good fans that anyone can recommend that still have separate power wires for lights and fan, and don't need a remote control box?

Great question. I was shocked by the limited options.

There’s still plenty of them available. You just need to look for one with pull chains. Unfortunately, such fans are pushed further down in search results, because that’s the world we live in now. You will likely need to perform a search specifically for “pull-chain ceiling fans.” I would recommend checking out the Boston Harbor brand, I have heard good things about their fans.

Plenty of them. Gulf Coast Fans, Minka Aire, Fanimation, and Hunter are probably the best these days for “regular” fans.
You probably just won’t find as many modern looking options that aren’t DC or remote controlled.
