Can this fan be used without the remote and wired using the separate fan and light switches on the wall.

Yes, you can. I just installed the fan this past Sunday, and I didn't use the remote. It will install like any normal fan with a light kit...ground, black, white, and blue wires.

Yes, it has two pull chains so you can control both fan and light. No remote control. You can power the fan and the lights separately so you can have separate wall switches.

The fan uses a remote control for all functions. Check with an electrician to see if your existing wall control can be used.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

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?

It can be controlled without a "wall switch", but you need an insteon compatible controller. I have many of these in my home and none have wall switches. I use insteon motion detectors and an ISY944i that tells them what to do. ie: dimming the bathroom at night

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 hired a contractor to put everything together and we didn't need anything additional for the remote. You could leave it always hot but I recommend a wall switch since the remote will move around and it's nice to have that alternate way of turning it off. Btw the remote has 4 channels to choose from so you might be able to get 2 remotes. I also got the light add-on and there was a quirk in that if you used the wall switch the light would stay off until you used the remote. This was not an issue for the fan.

It has an independent switch not coordinated with the furnace fan. But if it were to run without the furnace fan, it would only harmlessly help circulate air into the room. I bought a $16 remote switch (ceiling fan dept at Lowe's), and put it in-line with the power to the booster through my attic. I leave the booster fan switch in the "on" position and now I turn mine on and off with a remote (usually at bedtime).

Yes the room light and fan can be controlled separately with a split switch designed to accommodate the two different functions. This kind of switch - bought on line from a big box hardware store - goes in the same electrical box that contained the original, single pole switch that turned the fan and light on simultaneously. I did not care about the night light, so my new switch separately controls only the fan and larger room light, not the night light.

No. The fan will only run with the light switch is on. You need to rewire if you want it them to run independently.

Yes. I installed a remote control with mine, but if you have 2 "hots" along with neutral and ground along with the appropiate switch then no additional wiring would be required to control the fan and light independently at the wall.

No. You can't do this with the remote. It can be done like other fans though.

No remote. There's a pull cord for light and pull cord for the fan. The wall switch turns the whole thing on or off and you control the light and fan with the pull strings.

Yes it can. I did not want a remote, so I had our electrician install the fan with a three speed wall switch instead. He said that it was no problem and it works great with the wall switch.

Yes. And the fan wiring is independent of the light wiring so they are controlled separately from wall switches.

No, I don't have a remote. I use a wall switch and pull cords for light and fan.
