by "spin" you mean oscillate? cause there is an on/off button on the Lasko fans

In fact the remote fans work with IR and can be controlled with a Harmony home hub and a smartphone. Or any SIRI or Google Now device

If your fan does not have a remote use a Belkin WeMo switch to use your smartphone as the remote. Plug the fan into it and control from your phone, setup a schedule for when the fan comes on or off or if you have an Amazon Echo you can say "Echo turn the fan on" and it comes on.
Also see how much power the fan is using. App available for iOS and Android.

yes dan

I use a Harmony Home hub to control my AC unit in the living room and office. Can work for a fan that uses IR too like those Lasko remote fans.

Lol

I use the IR in my phone to control my tv/cable and a/c

Never knew they had these little IR hubs for non-IR devices

yeah but you have to point your phone at the device and be in the same room by using the IR on your phone.
These hubs let you be anywhere in the world and control your devices, no need to point at it. Plus you can setup macros, so lets say you do "Watch TV" it can turn on the TV, turn on the AC or fan, turn on the cable box, set the TV to the correct input and turn down the lights.

Some recent upgrades to the ANR Airport were some BigAss fans . They keep the place cool to lukewarm for the entire day it seems . At home I have some Hunters ceiling and Lasko standing for day time use .

like a universal remote, but for every thing, and controlled with an app... ok ok.
