Can one remote be programmed to operate 2 fans (fans will be in same room about 15' apart)?

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

This would only work with a fan controlled by a Minka-Aire controller. Its is highly unlikely this is the unit you want.

The fan remote function is on a small easy to use remote. Best regards,H Brooks

No. you can have more than 1 receiver controlled by 1 remote but you can only have 1 remote for the system.

Yes, you can control multiple light bulbs with one remote, they share the same frequency.

You can buy the remote (including the receiver module) from Amazon. You'll might have to drop the fan assembly to install the new module into the fan housing./ I don't believe the modules are interchangeable with any/all remote controls.

This switch doesn't directly control power to the fan/light -- it's simply a remote control that is powered by wire rather than battery. If you want to be able to control the fan from two doorway areas, you could certainly buy two controllers and just set both of the signal switches to the same code. I'm not sure I've answered your question but hope it helps.

On the model that I have the fan can be turned on seperately, but not by the timer. It must be done manually.

Change the frequencies on each fan's receiver and then set them in the remote to match. These are the little leavers/dip sticks inside. Make sure you turn the power OFF first! We just installed 4, all on different frequencies!

Yes this can easily be done by changing the 4 pin DIP switch setting under the battery cover of the remote and fan receiver. So you will have 5 different settings on these dip switches for 5 different fans.

Yes, the remote has 3 programmable buttons that can be programmed independently. So if you had 2 of these switches, you could use 1 remote to control both.

most likely it will NOT work - our electrician (the one we had to hire when we could not get either of the 2 remotes offered on Amazon to work) asked me, "Where is the 'brains' that came with these two remotes?" Yes, you can set the small switches inside the remote to match the programming of the fan, but you need the small computerized inside works for these remotes to make them "talk" to or operate the fan or the lights. He told me to go to Home Depot to get the "universal" fan remote control - apparently it has everything it needs so you can set it to match the programming of your fan - meaning, it WILL work.

I think it should work, as each remote should pair with the receiver in the individual fan. Being on the same circuit would just mean that they both are powered, but you leave the main power/wall switch on and control the fans with the remote.

Hi, I'm pretty sure you can set the "dip" switches on the 2 fans and the dip switches remote to the same settings to make remote control both fans.

Yes, but bear in mind that the remote has four mini-pencil switches to set an individual code to prevent interference between nearby identical units. You need the code setting of your fan receiver as both must match for it to work at all. The code setting on your receiver is readily visible once you take it down and find your fan receiver. Plan B is to try all code combinations without taking down the fan.

Yes, and you really wouldn't want to do it "remote-only", as you'd want to have a power cutoff to the unit, which the remote would not be able to provide.Emerson has a specific wall switch for their fans, but it can be used with others. The light dimming and secondary light controls (no secondary lights on this fan) would probably not work correctly.

I wondered the same thing but you only need to use 1 to operate the fans. Silly design IMO but I love it and it works.
