Can you turn this fan on and off and control speed from a wall switch completely? (Instead of the remote which I am sure I will loose).

Yes, ours is controlled by the variable speed switch from our old fan. Threw the remote away. Electrician did the install.

There is a wall mount for the remote, so then the remote could be used for a wall switch.

Mine is wired into a wall switch; don't think it came with the switch, but not sure. You can turn it off and on with the switch and control it with the remote (velocity, direction, light on off, etc.)

Ours has a remote, but we also have an on/off switch on the wall. The wall switch does not control any of the fan functions other than on and off.

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks

If you want to use a variable switch, just set the fan on High and then use your switch to control speeds.

I seem to remember the manual having instructions for wiring the fan to two switches; one for fan and the other for light. However, the fan doesn't have any onboard controls, so you will need the remote to adjust fan speed and direction and the light dimmer. Try checking the Emerson website for the manual and while you're there, see if they make a compatible wall switch that has the speed and dimmer functions from the remote. Or just resign yourself to the remote. I didn't think I would like it either, but it's ended up being really nice to not get out of bed to change the fan speed.

No the wall switch will only allow the fan to turn on or off. For all speed adjustments and for the light, it only works off the included remote control. We were told that the remote wall switch sold my Minka would control all functions but Mink doesn't make a wall controller for this fan. Great fan though. Super quiet.

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.

No. I don't think I've ever bought a fan with a wall switch included. We had a switch installed to operate it, though. It's not too much extra work.

It comes with a remote control and a bracket for mounting the remote control on a wall. It does not have a hard-wired wall control. Also, it would be inconvenient to turn the fan off with a regular wall switch because it won't come back up to speed when you turn the power back on; it takes a couple of clicks on the remote to do that.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

I used the remote for a smaller fan of theirs. I didn't want to have wiring run. Works but I don't think I'm getting all speeds. They say I am. You can call or email their support. They are helpful

No, the oscillation pull-switch is on the fan itself and is not a feature that can be controlled by the remote.

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

I have a third button for fan on my light switch. It will only turn off fan power. You have remote with holster for light and powe/speed. I would just use remote.

The fan does NOT have a speed control though I believe they sell one (separately) now, however it is butt ugly so depending on where you place it that may or may not work for you. I tried several variable speed switches that are for ceiling fans but none of them worked; it was either on full speed or off.

This is the quietest fan I have ever used. I use it for cooling my Onkyo Home Theater receiver, which runs very warm. I just used a wall wart power supply to power it and haven't tried any speed control. I would think you can vary the speed by using a variable output DC power supply.
