If I use this fan on a switch for power, will the light turn on each time the fan is turned on? Will the fan forget the remote each time?

I try and leave my switch on and use the remote. But on the times when I forget, the fan and light resume the operations that were going when the switch was turned off.

Using remote control, fan and lite can be controlled individually. You will like it .

Your light switch still has to be on the "on" position for the remote to be able to control the fan. So if you were to leave the switch on permanently, then it does become obsolete to some degree.

well, sort of. I use the remote to on/off the fan and control the speeds. The original wall mounted power switch controls the light.

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

The remote turns the lights on and off and changes the speed of the fan with a low, medium and high buttons. I installed mine so the only way to control the functionality of the ceiling fan is with the remote. Hope this helps!!

We have the fan and light on two different switches. The fan is either on/off and the heater/light is on a timer. We had an electrician friend help us.

I am still able to use the light switch. I think it should still work for any type of fan.

Up light turns the light on. Down light turns the light off. There is no dual light button on the remote I received, only 3 different speeds for the fan. The large fan off button does just that....turns the fan off.

The remote will turn the light in and off and the fan had 4 settings. Off, high, med, and lowAwesome fan I would purchase it again

No. The light is only activated by switch. You can choose to wire the fan up to a switch, but by doing so you would lose the automated feature of it while the switch is off. The fan is meant to be connected to an always live source so that it will turn itself on when it senses motion or humidity. Basically, there are 2 separated power leads on this unit. 1 for the light, and 1 for the fan.

I think you can order a light for this fan. Whether the remote will work or not I don't know.

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

Not that I've discovered. It will simply turn the fan on at different speeds and off and then turn the light off and on.

Yes, but ... The fan only turns ON via the remote control. The 3-way switches can only turn the fan OFF. To turn the fan ON, you must use the remote. (Mine is wired on a 3-way.)

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

I never noticed an automatic shut off anywhere on the switch. At night, I turn it on using the high switch then turn it to low and go to sleep and the fan runs all night long no problem. I would imagine if there is an automatic shut off it's in case the switch over heats or shorts out.

Not really. If you turn off the main switch, then turn it back on, the light won't come back on without having to turn the remote switch back on also. Kinda a pain. Works great other than that.
