Can I hook up the wall remote to any circuit in the house, just to getitpower, or does it need to be wired to the fan? Is it truly a wireless remote?

You can wire the remote to any circuit, and it will work as long as it is in range of the reciever. Wiring the control to a wall circuit simply eliminates the need for batteries. it truely is wireless, but keep in mind that you have to be within range.

The wall remote has to be hooked to power, and is constructed like any wall switch. There is also a fan controller which goes between wires connecting fan. The remote sends RF signals to fan controller to turn on light, fan, etc. i suppose you could use it for something else, but I would think there are better solutions for wirelessly controlling other electronics

You can hook it up to any circuit within range. For that matter you could wire in a pigtail and plug it into the wall. but in oder for the manual switch to work it has to be on the fan/light circuit. i never use the manual switch so it's not necessary

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.

The switch will control power to the fan, but even once the switch is turned on, you will still need to use the remote to turn it on - there is no memory function that saves the ON/OFF state of the fan thru a power cycle.

I have the Hunter Cortland fan and it is wired so that one wall switch turns on the lights and the other wall switch turns on the fan. We didnot get a remote for the fan because the installer said the remotes are more of a problem then anything. We have had the fan up for a year and a half now and it works perfectly. No noise on low speed, which is all we use. Hope this is helpful to you.

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.

This fan will not let you do that. If you unplug it from the outlet when it is still running and plug it back into the wall outlet, the fan will not come on. You have to use the buttons on the fan or the remote, if one came with it.

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?

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.

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

hi there. if you hook with the red wire. you can control from the wall. i only used the remote to control the fan.light. it is the best remote i ever bought. good luck

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.

This is designed to be a simple wall switch replacement. If you only have 2 wires in the fan canopy, you are better off with a remote setup that has a handheld transmitter and receiver for the fan.

The fan would need to be direct wired to a wall switch. Then the wall switch needs to be converted to a wireless remote. Maybe research "Hunter 27187 Ceiling Fan & Light Remote Control".

Must be wired only for power. This is a simple set-up. I'm very pleased with it.

You can connect the fan directly to the outlet, thru the thermostat. You can also use another electrical item if you have the plug-in outlet. Just assure that you do not exceed the amphere rating of the circuit.

Josie, the remote receives it power from the wall switch. When the switch is on, the remote is powered. When the switch is off, the remote is not powered. Therefore, the wall switch must always be in the on position. I did have a problem when I connected both the power leads in the fan/light to the remote. When I use only one of the power leads and capped the other one off, everything started working just fine. Hope this helps.Lee

If both fan wall controllers and the remote have the same dip switch settings they should operate "as one".. however I would recommend a remote for each fan so they can run independently. I have three fans on our porch and having them independent of each other is well worth the price of the extra remote.
