Hi caseyo, thanks for the question. Yes, you can use a remote with this fan. We recommend Control Model No: 99019. It must be purchased separately, and usually runs around $65 or so. As for your second question, lights can be added to this fan. We hope this helps, if you need anything further please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Yes, it can. The black box slides into the fan mounting bracket, under the ceiling bezile. Then, it's a matter of connecting all of the wires together, as explained in the instructions that come with the unit. really quitte simple. Just make sure that the code on the black box (4 position) matches the remote controls that you are using with that fan. If they do not match, the remote will not work.

i doubt it. i kinda did the same thing you're doing and tried to match it up with another fan. it was worth a shot, but didn't work and i sent it back. i went ahead and bought a brand new fan with remote

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

I have mine hooked to a universal remote, it works great. As far as a receiver for the universal remote, that is part of the remote's kit. you simply wire the receiver into the fan, set the fan speed to high and the light ON with the chains, and then use the remote to control it

No remote. The light and fan are operated by independent pulls. The fan can be on without the light, the light without the fan, or both on at the same time.

Yes. It is a tight fit to get remote receiver in but I am using a dimmer and fan remote from Lowes

Don't think so,however, this remote works really well with my old (2005) ceiling fan

Yes, I believe it can be installed with a remote receiver. A Google search of the model number shows that this fan ha been used with a universal remote and receiver by others.

You can use a remote with basically any fan that does not provide one, but you have to purchase it separately at your local Home Depot or hardware store and you have to modify the wiring to make it function

Yes. You can wire this so that the fan and the light are operated by separate switches.

Yes but you silk need to leave both the light and fan sliders on full in order to use the remote

Hello. Depending on the light kit, there is a possibility of it being compatible. Minka Aire does offer several light kit options for this fan. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

You do not need to use a remote. It has two pull strings...one for fan (3 speeds & off) and one for the light. It has a low profile for added head room, but I have to admit, when I installed it, the light did not work. I have yet to take it apart to see if the wiring to the light came disconnected... I am hoping it is not bad. I NEED the light more than the fan in that room.

From the research I have done, the remote and IR receiver in the fan have to be compatible. Replacement components are no longer available, The only solution is a new ceiling fan with a compatible remote.

I don't believe the fan came with a light kit. We did not want a light fixture on the fan and told our builder to leave all of the light fixtures off all of the fans. The remote control for the 28488 does have a switch on it for a light fixture ... so I assume you can install a separate at the base of the fan.

sort of, fan must be in highest speed before installing universal remote or you can remove pull chain wiring and put them together with a wire nut
