can I still install a switch on the wall to turn it on an off

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!!

You can wire it with out the remote receiver directly to the fans 3 wires. Connection is to two switches (one for the fan and one for the light). You will not have speed control. You can use the remote receiver with the 3 wires connected to the receiver and then the two receiver wires on the other side to a single switch. You then leave this switch on and the remote is used for all functions. This is pretty much how all fans with remotes are wired. By the way this remote does not have a fan direction function, there is a switch on each fan to switch from winter to summer mode.

Yes, you can use a wall switch to control the Metropolitan ceiling fan.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

yes, you can just bypass the remote receiver and not even install it, but it is nice for changing fan speed and dimming the light.

Yes you can. This is not a touch sensitive, rather a real mechanical on/off switch. It will go on with a timer.

Think of this as a big plug that you have plugged into your outlet - when you plug something in- is turns on. So, no, there is not on and off switch. It is always on, the same as any wall plug.

No, to turn off all the outlets including the 2 always on, you will have to unplug it from the wall.

The wall switch can still turn the fan / light on and off, however, when using the remote control wall switch becomes a mean of disconnecting the power. For the remote to work properly, Wall switch has to be in on position , pull chain on light kit has to be in on position and pull chain for fan has to be set at the high speed.

Yes ..... this switch is purely mechanical ..... will turn circuit on or off depending how the circuit is wired.

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

Yes, just have the chains pulled in the on position, and then use the wall switch to turn on and off.

No. I have it mounted on the wall , it has a remote on/off switch. Still works like new

I don't think so. You might be able to do it by covering the light sensor but the appeal of this product is the on/off capability.

you would probably have to get a plug that lets you do so...try going to a hardware store or a electrician, try calling one. I don't know if they have the plug in switch. soryy..but this is a cool gadget.

I don't think so. We did not want that feature as there were controls build into the switch on the wall. Our contractor told us NOT to get a remote because of the way he was wiring to switches. Mary Jo Eustis

No. The only way to do so is to use a toggle switch add on. If you don't want the light you can simply not install it as I did.

Yes to both of the questions but to turn it off completely you need to have a light switch hook up.

You can use your wall switch as a master power disconnect, but the various functions of the fan & light will still be controlled by the remote.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

You have to take it off the wall to do this - a two person job for me since it was already hooked up. My panel had a small gray round plastic cover by the digital unit. I took out the screw and there were two "dip" switches underneath it. Both switches in the on position changed the temp to F.
