Our fan has a remote. We just want the capability of turning on the fans light. Can we use this switch to control the light on/off and use our remot

This switch is actually 2 switches, a speed control for the paddle fan, and an on/off switch for the light on the paddle fan. This switch is used when hard wired (ex. 14/3 Rx. wire) from the wall switch to the paddle fan wired for duel switching. As you have a remote control, not sure if you have a wall switch all ready or not for your paddle fan but if you do, whatever function the paddle fan is left on when you shut the wall switch off, that same function should start when the switch is turned on again. If there is no wall switch, than the remote control is all you have to control the fan and light unless you with to install the actual wiring to do so.

This switch allows us to turn our fan light on/off and control the fan speed low, medium, & high. I'm not sure how this will or will not work with your remote. You have to check if your remote sensor is on the fan itself or to your switch.

well does your fan have a chain control for your light and fan speed? if it does this will not work. I you have one that is remote controlled all ready this will work for you. Now you will have to install the module with this remote. And the answer to your question, there are universal remotes out there, but if you don't know the make and model of your module, they will not work. You basically have to install the complete matching set. I hope this answer's your question? Tedd

I guess you could wire the fan and the light to the fan side of the switch. When you switched the switch off, it would seem like nothing is happening, but it would just activate the timer.

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.

No the wall switch will only allow the fan to turn on or off. For all speed adjustments and for the light, it only works off the included remote control. We were told that the remote wall switch sold my Minka would control all functions but Mink doesn't make a wall controller for this fan. Great fan though. Super quiet.

The fan did not come with a remote control. It came with a multi-control switch that goes inside the switch plate.It lets you control the speed, direction and Light.

You can wire it with out the remote receiver directly to the fans 3 wires. Connection is to two switches (one for the fan and one for the light). You will not have speed control. You can use the remote receiver with the 3 wires connected to the receiver and then the two receiver wires on the other side to a single switch. You then leave this switch on and the remote is used for all functions. This is pretty much how all fans with remotes are wired. By the way this remote does not have a fan direction function, there is a switch on each fan to switch from winter to summer mode.

No, I use the switch to turn the fan light on and off and use the remote to turn on fan and dim light.

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.

We put a dimmer switch (a toggle on wall) and use chain in the light for switching the fan speed. It works great. Of course, we had three wires running to the fan/light - a black, a red, and the white. We put the light on the red,and put dimmer in series with it, while the black wire is always hot (ie, no dimmer in the circuit) so the fan is "un-dimmer". You can install a fan/light dimmer remote device, but our light is in a guest room and we thought the remote might get lost (too many grand kids etc visiting).

You have two strings for independently control of light and fan. The light is just on/off. The fan is on/off and you have three speeds; low, medium and high. To provide power to unit, I have it set up with one wall switch. Once you turn on wall switch power, then manually can turn on/off light and fan. The unit does not come with a remote.

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'm not sure if it can be directly connected to a dimmer on an existing light switch. How can you manage the fan control? I purchased a Hunter remote control that manages the fan control as well as the light and it acts as a dimmer too.

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.

The switch will control power to the fan, but even once the switch is turned on, you will still need to use the remote to turn it on - there is no memory function that saves the ON/OFF state of the fan thru a power cycle.

I have a third button for fan on my light switch. It will only turn off fan power. You have remote with holster for light and powe/speed. I would just use remote.

I don't know. My fan and light like this is controlled by a wall switch and pull cord. I switch it on at the wall, and then control the light and fan speed by the 2 pull cords.
