I would like to hook up the motion sensor to a ceiling fan. Are their any limitations to the fan hp? Could I hook up two ceiling fans? Thanks

don't know about hooking up to ceiling fans, I wasn't able to hook sensors up to fluorescent light but a normal bulb you could.

not an electrician, but that didn't stopme from replacing a standard light switch with motion sensor. HP of fan is not revilement, all the switch does is allow power to go to the the device. If the fans are operated from two separate switches, best use 2 motion sensors.

Hello. I installed one of these sensors in my closet that has an 8' ceiling. It works great!! I really like it! The closet is 10' wide and I installed it in the middle at the ceiling. It picks up motion on both side of the closet as I installed a double set of 5' bifold doors.

This is a 12V. Fan, you cold apply 12v. directly (Ground and +12V.) and it will work at it's maximum speed (google "pc fan connector" to find out) The connector is: |Ground - +12v - Speed sensor - Speed control| However this is intended as a computer fan, i will not recommended it for any other use.

Yes. In fact, I've already done this. I have two large ceiling fans in a single room, each equipped with a fan/light control. This allows me to operate each fan/light independently of the other.

The sensor switch is a great feature. It turns the humidity fan off after 30 minutes. Any Decorator style plate (switch or outlet) will work. You can gang the sensor switch with a light fixture switch in a 2-gang work box if wanted. It doesn't need to be a stand alone

My guess is you will probably need two ceiling fans...especially if you choose this model.

I have (2) of these king air timers. They are much better than humidity sensors, as humidity varies so much in new england.I have (1) wired for both: fan & lights on/off together. ie 1 gang box needed.I have the other (1) wired for fan only. ie 2 gang box needed.:)

Yes you can. If you look at a picture of it where the wire comes out is a swivel and where the sensor is, is another swivel. the motion sensor get mounted to the face plate of a electrical box. Hope this helps.

While looking at Lutron.com, I did see controls for two fans. That is what they are specifically for.

You can add up to 16 sensors to a single receiver. Once you have a receiver, just purchase additional sensors ie. window/door, motion sensor, or water monitor.

I replaced my controller with a Honeywell #40013 that will control both the fan and light. I like the touch screen remote. Always remember to touch the screens fan speed until the highest speed is displayed to start the fan. After the fan is moving touch the remote speed diplay until your target of high medium or low is reached. Starting the fan in high speed will prevent damage to the fan motor and ultimate failure later.

I used two single pole switches. I wired the light and fan on one and the night light on the other. If you need one that's on a timer or humidity sensing I'd go to Panasonic Web sight and see what they would suggest.

I install the fan with the switch hidden, so that it is always on - at a low speed. The motion sensor activates the fan when someone enters the area and picks up the speed. If you make the switch accessible the fan will get turned off and defeat the purpose of the motion detector.

yes the night lite is a 4 watt light. and it can operate be sensor movement. but my electrician accidentally wired it so that the fan goes on with movement and the night light operates by wall swithch. Just be mindful of the potential. Not a problem for me but might be for others.

It appears this is only possible if you use the wall switch to turn the fan off and on. Using the controls on the fan (in the ceiling), you can only adjust the CFM (amount of air moved, which impacts the fan's sound) and the number of minutes the fan stays on once activated. However, you can turn the fan entirely off using the wall switch, and it will not come on using the motion sensor. If you want the fan to operate, though, the motion sensor stays on. So, to operate the fan as though it has no motion sensor, just use the wall switch to turn it on (when you enter the bathroom) and off (when you leave). That way the motion sensor won't bother you.

The only sensor that I know of is a thermostat for turning the fan on when the attic gets warm. I am using two of them for a solar polar kiln to dry lumber, so I did not use that sensor. I wanted them to circulate air regardless of the temperature. They work good. The more sun that shines on the panels the more the fans blow.

Sorry for the late response. I only bought the remote to replace a broken one. the fan already have a receiver. I just adjust the 4 number sequence to match the remote. If you fan doesn't have a receiver or a remote set up you have to buy them both.
