Will this work to control a fan?

no it doesn't. you need Leviton VRF01-1LZ Vizia RF + 1.5A Scene Capable Quiet Fan Speed Control

Yes, ours is controlled by the variable speed switch from our old fan. Threw the remote away. Electrician did the install.

It is a Harbor Breeze remote and I would guess it would work as long as the switches are set to match those in the fan.

I would think so. What are you trying to operate with this switch? I used it for a whole house fan.

I am presently using it to control a 130 cfm bathroom exhaust fan. It works great.

Yes. The brand doesn't matter. Wiring it up correctly and it will work with the fan control.

it will work as a off and on power control, but not as a variable step controler such as needed for a multi speed device with an amendum such as a varible intensity light. if it is a single speed fan, with a single intensity llight that is controlled by a " pull chain " switch wired into the fans power connection, you are probably " O.K."

although I am using it for a whole house fan. It is a normal "timer" wall switch and can't see any reason it would not work for both. Hope it helps since I can't give you a definite.

Yes it should. Ensure that the power requirements do not exceed the rating, but it would have to be one impressive fan to do that. The other note is that the picture is a bit deceiving. The 3 prong connection (shown) is pass through. The other side is 2 prong and it is the side controlled by the zwave commands.

Yes it will work, however I would recomend a charge controller and Battery to do two things 1. regulate the voltage going to the fan motor(charge controller) the panel in full sun puts out more than 12V, potentially burning out the motor. 2. give the fan steady power if clouds shadow the panel(battery).

The short answer is no. You may be able to get it to work but I'd advise against it. Here's the long answer: I bought two of these fans during construction of our new house and had hoped to run them both off one controller. The electrician who wired the house connected both fans to a "universal" fan controller, the kind that fits inside the wall box like a light switch. One fan would work pretty well but the other fan would only jerk as though it were trying to start but couldn't. The electrician then tried a similar controller that was supposed to control multiple fans. They both worked better but made noise. About this time I dug up the instructions for both the fans and the controllers. The fan instructions specifically say "To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control". The controller's instructions said "CAUTION: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied appliances". We then tried running both fans with one of the supplied transformer type speed controls and that didn't really work either. We finally decided that we don't really mind the "vintage" appearance of the supplied controllers. In fact my wife actually likes the way they look. Because they stand out from the wall we mounted them above the switches controlling those circuits (on/off) so they're just above shoulder height and we're less likely to bump into them as we walk down the hall. The fans are great. We still love them and would buy them again. We'd just skip the headache of trying to avoid using the supplied controllers.

Yes, if you are an electrical engineer. You would need access to the speed control at the fan and determine if it could be controlled by a resistive element, then run a separate pair of wires from your dimmer to the fan. It would not be worth the effort. get a variable speed fan with a remote control.

You could use 12 VDC power (like a battery) to power the controller and the fan is then powered by the controller.

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.

No, it will only work for fans that can reverse directions, have Miri speed functions and lights

No it will not for fan and light control I use Lutron MIR-LFQTHW-WH Maestro IR 300-watt Single Pole Fan and Light Control Kit, it is fantastic! the cost is considerably more but well worth it!

Yes it can , I have two fans running off of a speed control, and it works great
