Will this ceiling fan respond to wall controls (dimmer, speed) or is it solely controlled by the remote control?

Hi SH, thanks for the question. The remote control is actually also a wall control. It has 3 speeds forward/backward, and a full range light dimmer. If you're referring to other wall controls that do not come with this ceiling fan, they may or may not work with this particular fan. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to one of our experts. They know everything, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now. :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White

It seems to me the remote is the only way to control the fan and the light. Everything went well so far except for an accident a few days ago. My son played with the remote for a while and then somehow I couldn't turn off the fan. After half an hour struggle, no solution could be found on the specification. In despair, I had to shut down the electricity of the house, then turned it on. And the remote came to life again after that. I did wish it'd come with a standard wall switch as a backup.

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

not as out of the box, you would have to buy a motor control unit, I remember back in my electrical days we would install one for celling fans to control but they can be a little pricey, do not buy a sliding light dimmer switch as these will fail and are made to dim lighting only. hope this helps: http://www.lumens.com/wall-mount-wired-fan-control-wc105-by-minka-aire-fans-R032740.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm;_source=google&u;tm_term=&kwid;=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071

Yes, remote controller dims and controls fan 4 speed settings one of which is off.

This unit has no remote control. My local big box store sells remotes for ceiling fans that control the light and multi-speed for the fan. I do not think there is room in the fan body to use the add-on kit.

The remote turns the lights on and off and changes the speed of the fan with a low, medium and high buttons. I installed mine so the only way to control the functionality of the ceiling fan is with the remote. Hope this helps!!

No remote. There's a pull cord for light and pull cord for the fan. The wall switch turns the whole thing on or off and you control the light and fan with the pull strings.

The fan comes with a hand held remote that dims the halogen light, you can also purchase an optional wall control that dims the light as well

This fan can be turned on or off with the remote or wall switch. You cannot control the dimmer or speed from the wall switch.

Well, our fan is hooked up using the wall switch but you kind of need the remote to speed up and slow down also the dimmer is on the remote.

We did not get a remote for this fan. Instead, we put a dimmer switch on the wall to adjust the speed without having to reach up to the fan itself.

No remote, but I already had a dimmer and control on the wall from the previous fan.

Love this fan, but it didn't come with a remote control...we have it wired with wall switch, and we manually change the speed with the pull chains provided.

I seem to remember the manual having instructions for wiring the fan to two switches; one for fan and the other for light. However, the fan doesn't have any onboard controls, so you will need the remote to adjust fan speed and direction and the light dimmer. Try checking the Emerson website for the manual and while you're there, see if they make a compatible wall switch that has the speed and dimmer functions from the remote. Or just resign yourself to the remote. I didn't think I would like it either, but it's ended up being really nice to not get out of bed to change the fan speed.

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.
