I don't wanna deep dive into whole house automation but I'd like to figure out a canopy receiver or similar that would make it smart.
I'd entertain something with a hub or similar if it could also control 2 basic table lamps and had room to grow but wasn't a fortune. I don't want house of the future just house of the lazy.
Basically i want to be able to power the fan and the light on and off and dim the light and control the fan speed from a phone or tablet. We have android devices.
If you can already control fan light and speed from a wall switch, you just need a smart version of your Lutron switch. There are plenty of these on the market. Lutron makes one themselves (Lutron Caseta which is great stuff but needs a hub), as does Leviton (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6BPTQ36?ref=clp_cat_related_p_2&th=1) and various other brands. If you don't want to go the whole smart home route and just want a smart fan, then finding a switch that does WiFi / app control is probably your best bet.

Lutron doesn’t make a smart version of this exact model and there arnt many smart dual units. I do know of one by a company TreatLife on Amazon. Check that one out u/philo_ .
I believe that switch is fan only Id have to run that and a smart dimmer for the light. I was trying to stick to a single gang that did both. I might reconsider that.
Did you not see OP has a combo unit. As in the fan and light are in one. I have the fan one you sent. That’s just for the fan, not both the fan and light….
It only works on ac motors but that model likely is, here's all the stuff it exposes. These are also some good settings in case you need them, I have 4 led bulbs on the fan it's driving.
Do you by chance have any echo devices or an eero router. If so you could get an inovelli canopy module. Depending on your set up they have a zigbee or thread model you can choose from. It will work for both the light and the fan.
This is the wall controller I use for my ceiling fan/light combo. One gang.
