can the fan speed be controlled with a switch?

Good question. I am not 100% sure on that one. I bet you could but not sure how the motor would react over time. I would download specs and see and send a request via email to Panasonic. I have put in about 40 of these and they are great.

I tried putting it on a dimmer switch and while it worked OK at about mid settings up to max, I ended up subbing in a timer instead and love it.

According to Panasonic.. no. I tried using a three speed motor control.. and i burned out the controller. Now it is connected to simple on off switch.

No, this motor is not designed to be used with a speed controller. It is very quiet and wouldn't need to be slowed down unless it moves to much air. In that case I'd buy the smaller 6" model.

This fan can be turned on or off with the remote or wall switch. You cannot control the dimmer or speed from the wall switch.

Yes, the "switch" to stop the oscillation is next to the knob that adjusts the speed of the fan.

You can easily turn it on/off manually. When the fan is running it will only stay on for the set time interval.

Yes, take out of box, plug in. Push one of four buttons to select fan speed.

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.

First of all, I'm not an electrician. Secondly, it was not designed to control two fans. With that said, I don't see any reason why it would not be able to control two fans. Be advised that one side of the switch has four settings for the fan - low, medium, high and very high. The other side is a true "slide" from zero to 100. I hope this helps. Good luck.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

No. This only controls items you can plug in. There are remote control fan switches you can install at the switch. Just do a "remote control ceiling fan switch" search.

If you are talking about the original switch (don't know the part number), yes. And, yes, there's an "off" position, in addition to a rheostat to vary fan speed (in the application in which I personally am using the part).

If these things use mechanical relays you could, but unless that's known for certain, it wouldn't be advisible.If you hear a click when it switches on it's probably a mechanical relay, if not, it's probably solid state, which you wouldn't want to cross connect to avoid damage.You could do some custom configuration such as using the switched outputs of the sensors to control AC relays, which could then be wired in parallel to drive your fan.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.

I'm not aware of it adjusting the fan speed automatically. There may be some type of switch to set it to do that and I'm just not aware of it. I've just had no desire for it to adjust the fan speed automatically.

the fan will run automatically when it is powered on, there is no sensor or speed controller. There is no separate switch for the fan. Cooling is not exceptional but decent enough

Yes. It's a standard 3 speed fan switch available at Home Depot, Lowes and most hardware stores. I just replaced mine.

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

No, this fan is not designed to use with a speed control, it is On/Off only. There is a temperature/humidity control unit that works with this fan that works well, but no speed control.
