I am replacing an existing fan that has a wall control, will this model be compatible with the wall switch?

Yes. I use the wall switch to turn the fan on and off and the chain to vary the speed.

If you only have one switch leg going from the switch to the fan, you probably don't want to use this switch. If you have two switch legs, it will work.

It may be the same fan but the wiring and connector may be different. If it's just the connector you can probably swap it out with your existing fan's parts.

No. It is not compatible. The plugs are different and the fan blade shape is different.

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

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

This control does replace a single pole switch. Set the fan on "high" speed.

It will work with most fans you can buy at any big-box hardware store. The switch gives a finer fan control than what is available on most fans.

Yes, you can discard the WCS212 control unit and replace it with a standard wall switch.I have 2 Minka Aire fans, one of them is controlled with the WCS212 and a hand held remote; the other fan is controlled with a standard wall switch (which I keep always on) and the hand held remote

Would the Westinghouse 7787300 Ceiling Fan and Light Control work with this fan?

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

That sounds like it should work for you. That is the same layout on the switch. I used it on a large floor model fan. The switch itself is 1 1/4" x 5/8" thick

From Robert Richey: I do have such a switch. There was a repair man in MIlipitas California who offered to rewire the fan for a new switch but it was expensive so I just use the old switch and hope for the best.Sorry about that as I am a retired engineer not a repair man.

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.

Yes you can connect it to a switch, however you will need to order the correct wall switch that is compatitable with that fan! Contact us for that part number! :)

Any regular single pole switch will work or a single pole duplex/double switch will work as well. ( sometime they call it 2 way switch ) One switch for the light and the other for the fan. Good luck.
