Discuss Want to replace old light/fan switch with new one but not sure if possible. Canopy module? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

Recently moved into a new home. My bedroom has an old Lutron light/fan switch combo that I want to replace with a smart one (it's adjacent to another switch that just controls an outlet). I had thought replacing a switch would be a pretty simple task but after starting to look at the manuals im not too sure. It looks like the old switch uses something called a Canopy Module? The listing for the new switch specifies a canopy module isn't required but doesn't say whether or not it can work with one and it's unclear to me what all the wires are that are currently running to it.

Current wiring
Manual for old switch

Manual for new switch


Can someone whose more electrical savvy than me tell if this is simple or not? Are the cables in the wall sufficient or do I need to get an electrician / different switch?
