Will this be able to control a ceiling fan? How would I do that as it now turns on and off by a wall switch. there is no wall outlet it plugs into ??

No it not possible unless get somebody rewire fan so plugs in device. Does not have to be pluged in same room fan is in.

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.

The fan does NOT have a speed control though I believe they sell one (separately) now, however it is butt ugly so depending on where you place it that may or may not work for you. I tried several variable speed switches that are for ceiling fans but none of them worked; it was either on full speed or off.

I guess you could wire the fan and the light to the fan side of the switch. When you switched the switch off, it would seem like nothing is happening, but it would just activate the timer.

Yes, just don't add a wall switch when wiring it to the fan and use Z-Wave to switch on and off. Be sure not to use the triac dimmer model on an inductive load or a newer model with an current limiter on the light fixture portion.

This is generic. It will work with any ceiling fan I've ever encountered. Ceiling fans have three active wires going into the fan mechanism: a wire for fan power, a wire for light power, and a neutral (plus a ground wire that attaches to something metal). You set the light(s) on and the fan on high speed. Then you hook up the control unit that comes with the remote--one wire for fan power, one wire for light power, one wire for neutral, and two wires to connect to incoming power. Make sure the remotes and the control unit are all on the same setting, and that normally works. Sometimes something electronic in your home may interfere and cause things to turn on and off at random times. If so, select a different setting for the control unit and the remotes (all still one setting). Not that hard. The hardest part is getting the control unit into the cramped space inside the fan housing.

The odds are it will not work. The remote control is a two part system. The transmitter,(the hand held / wall mounted portion) and the receiver (box with wires that connects to the fan located in the bezel between the fan and the ceiling). Both the hand held transmitter and the wired receiver have a series of dip switches that need to be set the same for the remote to work. I recommend you purchase a new remote and have a certified electrician install it.

This fan comes with a remote that has a wall mountable bracket. You can use it as a wall switch or remove it and use it remotely in the room. The remote controls light brightness levels as well as fan speed and on/off control. I just leave the builder installed wall switch in the "on" position and control it wth the remote.

Hello! The fan is primarily controlled by the receiver module in the fan's canopy, which works on radio waves. In order to get the fan to work with a wall switch, you would need the WCS213 Wall Control by Minka. Otherwise, a normal switch would not turn it off or on. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

First off I am no electrician however I did wire in a bath fan to mine. I would think if your dehumidifier has only a on off switch you could wire this dehumidistat to the outlet. Power going to the dehumidistat first thus controlling when the outlet would or would not have power. Once again I am not an electrician.

it works from the wall switch, plugs into the wall..You get a remote to turn on the fan, Once plugged in just turn on with the remote from anywhere in the room

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.

Yes, it should. It simply controls power to the fan similar to a light switch.

No the wall switch will only allow the fan to turn on or off. For all speed adjustments and for the light, it only works off the included remote control. We were told that the remote wall switch sold my Minka would control all functions but Mink doesn't make a wall controller for this fan. Great fan though. Super quiet.

There is a switch available via Home Depot (and similar stores, I'm sure) that will control fan speed and light dimmer via a wall switch. It is about $50. I'm using it and it works fine.

First, I would ask my electrician. We have ours to control a fan, heating and light unit. The switch operates heat, bent and light in that order. It's easy enough to turn both on and off at the same time.

The switch on this one can't be worked into a normal wall outlet. It is configured to be supported by a battery. There are similar switches out there that can be installed in standard wall fixtures and can even pull power from the switch box. This is not one of them.

Jane, I imagine it could, but the big question is when you supply power to the fan, will it be constant on, or will there be a switch wired into and mounted on the wall remotely. Just make sure that you have it connected to a power source that has a switch at human level on the ground. Then pull the chain once to power it on and use the switch on the wall to kill the power.
