Am I required to install the provided wall switch for this fan to work? Or will it work with the standard switch in my wall?

While it is recommended that you use the included switch these fan can be wired manually according to the manufacture instructions.Thanks,-PasuTech

Hi Catalyst God,Thanks for the question. You have to use the wall switch that is provided with the fan. It will not work with a standard switch. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

I seem to remember the manual having instructions for wiring the fan to two switches; one for fan and the other for light. However, the fan doesn't have any onboard controls, so you will need the remote to adjust fan speed and direction and the light dimmer. Try checking the Emerson website for the manual and while you're there, see if they make a compatible wall switch that has the speed and dimmer functions from the remote. Or just resign yourself to the remote. I didn't think I would like it either, but it's ended up being really nice to not get out of bed to change the fan speed.

It doesn't have one you need to have wires run in the wall to an external on off switch. There are other fans that would have one on the unit, not this one. Mine is wired to a timer switch.

I did not install a switch for this fan. If I need to turn it off I'll use the circuit breaker.

I assume you are referring to a remote control receiver within the fan housing. Since this wall control is hard wired, it will have no effect on any type of fan remote control or its receiver contained within the fan housing. The remote should still work as before, after installing this wall control. Good luck to you!

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

The Westinghouse switch may work in certain situations depending the fan you plan to use it on. Hampton Bay also makes a switch that I am in the process of trying after the Westinghouse failed 2x. I had an electrician trying to install it!

Hunter has a wall switch designed for that reason. If you call them and give your fan model number they will give you all of the information you need.

The switch either provides electricity to the fan or denies electricity to the fan. To use the fan's remote control the switch must be on to provide electricity to the fan and light. Once the electricity is flowing to the fan and light then you can use the existing receiver and control unit. The wall switch is extraneous to the remote control unit.

You need a standard light switch to control the light. But you also need this to be hooked directly to continuous power as the fan needs to be able to turn itself on due to motion and/or humidity. There is a dual connection on the fan to accommodate this.

It does not. Wall switch control only that I'm aware of. Very nice fan though.

Yes, there are two separate slider switches on the wall panel, one for the light and one for the fan. Keep in mind that you will need 4 wires from the switch to the ceiling fan for this to work instead of the standard 3 wires.

It will work with most fans you can buy at any big-box hardware store. The switch gives a finer fan control than what is available on most fans.

From Robert Richey: I do have such a switch. There was a repair man in MIlipitas California who offered to rewire the fan for a new switch but it was expensive so I just use the old switch and hope for the best.Sorry about that as I am a retired engineer not a repair man.
