Why does the product say it requires a " Broan model 69W or 69V 2-function control". Can I not just use a regular light switch to turn on and off?

I wired it up to a regular light switch and it works perfectly and is very warm.

I used a regular switch. I'm not sure why they "require" their own switch product.

Yes, you can use a regular light switch. That's what we've done with no problem.

Hello, 1&#65292; this item is without power supply, so you need to prepare a 2A 12V power supply. You can refer to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABCT8A0 2&#65292;this remote can only control led strips, and cannot control bulbs. Thank you!

This fan can only be operated from a wall switch if the cord for either or both the light and fan are pulled at the base first. You can purchase a sold seperately remote control that will control the switches. This is the remote...Westinghouse 7787000 Ceiling Fan and Light Remote Control. Im unsure if you can use a 60 watt candelabra bulb but i dont see why not since it already uses 40 watts, just be prepared for a light that might hotter over head.

Here is what I used for info for programming & Wiring: you have to power unit with the 1st terminal block + & - wires and 4 other blocks you run + power wire in & + wire out to whatever you want to turn on and off and run a - ground wire directly to the device you want to control, no need to put - ground wire through the control box. Programming: SELECT OPERATING MODE: Hold down button until LED lights. Continue to hold. LED will go off. Continue to hold. LED will flash once. Release button now for momentary mode. Or continue to hold. LED will flash twice. Release button now for toggle mode. Or continue to hold. LED will flash three times. Release button for interlock mode. PROGRAM MODE IN: Hold down button until LED lights and release button while lit. LED will stay on. Press any key on remote. LED will flash two times confirming successful. Now press remote keys and relays will function as programmed. Note: LED will flash rapidly when not programming and any key is pressed. Momentary = Single relay will stay on only as long as corresponding remote key is pressed. Toggle = Press corresponding key for on, press same key again for off, each relay independently. Interlock = For each relay: press corresponding key for on (all others off). One of Four. Terminal Block Pin Out Rly A .B .C .D NC 4 10 .1 .7 Cm 5 11 .2 .8 NO 6 12 .3 .9 --------------------------------- For those who try to program it by the hold the button method and didn't work is because we have a different unit. Momentary is default (to use for door lock by example, hold to OPEN release for CLOSE again (NC) ) For Sustained Operation you must change the position of the JP1 (jumper) link 1 (to use as light switch) And for wiring the unit for 120VAC or 220VAC use link 2 Always remember the chipset must have only 12VDC supply!

You can use it for two different ones but I recommend to get the regular one without the dimming feature and get an outlet timer. The auto dim is slightly off with its timer. It keeps turning on earlier each day.

I do not have that model. I have the one with controls for 2 lamps on each one. Mine are not programable.

Based on my understanding, I don't think this switch can be considered a low voltage switch. It replaced my normal 120 volt light switch. I think a low voltage switch would be akin to a wall thermostat with the tiny wires and specifically states "low voltage". I think the switch needs 120 volts to operate.

I use a Lutron remote and fan control module - works great. Did not use the built in system because I also wanted wall controls in addition to the remote. With this I can control fan (multi-speed) and light (including dimming) separately - from the remote and from the wall.

Check with the manufacturer on specs. This is a dimmer switch and my understanding is they are not suitable for appliance control. There are other z-wave on/off switches or recepticals that will control fans or other appliances to on or off.

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

You cannot use a dimmer module to control appliances. Dimming would damage the appliance. You have to use the dedicated appliance module.

No, you will need a separate switch to control the light function. In one of my bathrooms I have a light built into the fan and I have a separate switch to control the light along side this fan control. This is a very good fan control switch and I think you will like the features and functionality. The only issue that some don't like is the green LEDs that are illuminated (one is always on. if the unit is off, the main buttonLED is on and the last default time LED is also on. If the unit is on then the button time that is selected is on. Some are concern about this at night, but it's kind of a night light for me. I hope this helps.

No. I will basically give you an on/off for a light. Look for a light dimmer which regulates voltage.

Hi, Our installer put a plug on the power cord instead of wiring it into the system. I added an extension cord with a power switch that I plug the Broan into. It sits in the cabinet over the Broan. I can just reach it to toggle it- then I have do some button pushing because the Broan comes up in a default mode that turns on the lights. But the noise of the fan is GONE. Good luck. Great exhaust fan and the lights are the best, but a little hard to live with. Sheila D.

If the light AND heated failed simultaneously you might have overloaded the circuit breaker. My electrician put in a whole new circuit for the heater wiring so as to not overload the existing light/exhaust fan wiring. I read some reviews of the Broan unit before buying. A few folks reported the heating element failing shortly after installation. I've had mine for almost a year and use the heater regularly. So far no problem. Good luck.

I don't recall so I would check the specifications on Leviton's website. In my case, the lights controlled by this switch all have LED bulbs so the wattage is pretty low and there are no issues.
