Does this work with a ceiling fan? I was hoping to do fan speed control and light dimming.

Most likely not because of the much wore wattage required by the fan motor.Look at this one: Westinghouse 7787500 Ceiling Fan and Light Wall Control

it will work as a off and on power control, but not as a variable step controler such as needed for a multi speed device with an amendum such as a varible intensity light. if it is a single speed fan, with a single intensity llight that is controlled by a " pull chain " switch wired into the fans power connection, you are probably " O.K."

No it will not for fan and light control I use Lutron MIR-LFQTHW-WH Maestro IR 300-watt Single Pole Fan and Light Control Kit, it is fantastic! the cost is considerably more but well worth it!

My fan only has one light ... the up light button and the down light button do the same thing (turns on, turns off and hold to dim)

Hey,There are some CFLs designed such that they can be dimmed. Standard CFLs are not. I'm afraid I can't help you otherwise, as we just use the light as is.Now, that being written, I hope you are not planning to use a standard dimmer switch to control the speed of the fan. Light dimmer switches cannot handle the current required to run the motor turning the fan blades and it's possible the excess heat generated would start a fire. There are specially designed switches for adjusting the speed of ceiling fans. Perhaps that's part of what the contractor meant. Hey,There are some CFLs designed such that they can be dimmed.

This controller did not work with my fan. It is the correct controller for my fan. We did everything the instructions outlined and our electrician couldnt get it working either. Only controls the light but not the fan.

It should work just fine. The wiring is pretty universal. Yes, it has more fan speeds than the traditional high, medium, low. I love it! It has a lot of options on the light dimmer as well.

I do not think it matters what type of fan you have. This device should work as long as you have space in the mount of your ceiling fan to store the receiver, which will receive a signal from the remote control. If your fan comes with a remote, you may end up disabling your own remote and replacing the remote with this device. I don't see why it should not work. This remote is communicating with its own set of sender and receiver, assuming that the fan remote does not co-exists and gets disabled.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

Yes, just don't add a wall switch when wiring it to the fan and use Z-Wave to switch on and off. Be sure not to use the triac dimmer model on an inductive load or a newer model with an current limiter on the light fixture portion.

I don't have lights on mine but yes. Any ceiling fan with lights will work with just the light, just the fan, or both.

Your should be able to as long as the fan's wattage doesn't exceed that of the dimming controller...

well does your fan have a chain control for your light and fan speed? if it does this will not work. I you have one that is remote controlled all ready this will work for you. Now you will have to install the module with this remote. And the answer to your question, there are universal remotes out there, but if you don't know the make and model of your module, they will not work. You basically have to install the complete matching set. I hope this answer's your question? Tedd

As I know it, They do work with dimmers. You will have to make sure the wiring is correct. Just an FYI, I have called Hunter on many issue, as I have 6 "only" Hunter fans, in our home. Their tech department can and will answer any/all questions you can come up with, and are more then willing to help. Hope that helps you.

Yes. It does dim but you want to use a dimmer designed for LEDs and CFLs (usually says something like "C-L Technology").

I use a Lutron remote and fan control module - works great. Did not use the built in system because I also wanted wall controls in addition to the remote. With this I can control fan (multi-speed) and light (including dimming) separately - from the remote and from the wall.

Yes, works perfectly. We have it in use in 3 bathrooms to control our various panasonic bathroom fans. It only controls a fan though, not a light and fan unless they're on the identical supply line.

not as out of the box, you would have to buy a motor control unit, I remember back in my electrical days we would install one for celling fans to control but they can be a little pricey, do not buy a sliding light dimmer switch as these will fail and are made to dim lighting only. hope this helps: http://www.lumens.com/wall-mount-wired-fan-control-wc105-by-minka-aire-fans-R032740.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=google&utm_term=&kwid=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071

No, it can only control a fan and a light. Two different devices electrically speaking in how they treat the loads. You need a dual dimmer such as Lutron MA-L3L3-WH Maestro 300 Watt Single Pole Dual Dimmer, White . Careful you understand that the combined loads for the two fixtures your dimming does not exceed 300 watts. If you try to dim 300 Watts on each it will overheat a burn out. Think of it as two 150 Watt dimmers in one device and you will be safe.
