Hi Mark, thank you for the question. Although it is possible to operate multiple ceiling fans from a single remote control, we do NOT recommend it with any brand. Doing so can cause your fans to get out of sync (one off and the other on, or one on high and the other on low) and getting them back in sync becomes quite a challenge. To avoid frustration, be sure to operate each fan from its own designated remote control. We hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please contact one of our experts. They know everything, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I assume it will. I purchased a universal remote (not Hunter's) and they work fine with my fans.

The remotes come programmed at 'all zeros' by default and most people only change them if there are interference issues. Try just using it out of the box. If that doesn't work, you can try setting the switches through the possible codes (there are 256, so it's not impossible) or you can open up the shroud for the fan and see what the controller module has set.

Yes, you can! We have 4 and they worked great all together. You use 4 the same way you use 2....you have to aim each remote at each other and hit 'reset'...making sure all 4 light up and make reset noise.

I don't know if that remote will work on this fan, suggest you ask someone from Home Depot

Mine works fine and I have 5 of them. The remote does need to find that "certain" spot to work. Try aiming the remote a little lower or higher.

I have a MinkaAire fan in the other room and this remote worked. It really depends on the receiver. My MinkaAire fan had an older receiver with 4 dip switches like the remote. When I matched the dip switches it worked. If it doesn't work at first, it may help to turn off the circuit breaker to the fan for a few minutes and turning it back on.

Yes. One remote will control them all, but not all at once. Each one has to be set individually. To control them, you have to point the controller directly into the bulb. Good news is, that once set, they remember the last setting when you turn them back on, and you will have 4 or 5 spare remotes.

I do not think it matters what type of fan you have. This device should work as long as you have space in the mount of your ceiling fan to store the receiver, which will receive a signal from the remote control. If your fan comes with a remote, you may end up disabling your own remote and replacing the remote with this device. I don't see why it should not work. This remote is communicating with its own set of sender and receiver, assuming that the fan remote does not co-exists and gets disabled.

Sorry...I don't know if this fan would work with a remote, or not. They are just basic fans, so it is likely they do not.

As far as I know a remote is unavailable for this fan. Check with Hunter for models which use remotes.

I don't know, I had a similar remote for my fan and this one works fine but it comes as akit so you can change the whole thing if needed

To: R. IyerYes, one remote will work on multiple bulbs but if their in close proximity to one another the remote will not keep the bulbs in sync. Say you have a ceiling mount light strip with five bulbs and you press the remote for red one or two may go to red while the others may go to other colors. The remote will not control multiple bulbs if used in this type of setup. Hope this helps! Mike

It's not a good idea, but technically yes. The remotes and the receivers have dip switches on them. As long as the settings on both are the same, the remote will control the fan. Therefore, if you have two fans with two receivers that both have the same settings as a single remote, it would operate both of them. However, I wouldn't assume it will control them in unison, especially if both fans are not perfectly within line of sight of each other. For that reason I would recommend a second remote (you can use the same type; it would just be controlled with a different setting). Regardless of that, will it work? Yes.

I brought two set that each has two remotes and 3 switches. The remotes only have 4 buttons. So it will work only for the 4 buttons. If you have six switches, the extra 2 switches will need to syn with one of the 4 buttons.It sort of makes the extra switches useless you order a 6 button remote.

sorry, i wouldnt know.. i bought this because it was identical to the remote my hubby installed years ago. and it is a quality producat and works perfectly. any remote will work with any fan or light. you just have to wire it correctly . but since our wiring was already in {simple and fast for one who knows wiring, or hire someone cause correct wires must connect to proper wires in light fixture}, all i had to do was put batteries in remote and it was good to go. remotes are hard to find locally, so i was super happy to find this one and ordered it.. i recommend you get it and try it, you can always return it if it will not work for you. {super great return policy at amazon}

Not sure if a universal remote will work as it didn't come with a remote and I don't have one. That is something you can contact Hunter about.Hope this helps.... Its a gorgeous fan......
