I have 2 WH ceiling fans and bought 2 of this WH wireless control. Any control is controlling both fans at same time. Any tips?

I would assume that when they were installed, you set them both to the same frequency. Try changing one fan and the corresponding switch to a different frequency using the four sliding switches numbered 1-4

Remote controls have a way to change their particular code so you can have several remotes working without them interfering with each other. There should be a 4 (or more) position small switch in the remote and the wall unit. these have to be set the same on each remote. READ the directions.

There are dip switch settings on both the switch and the remote that resides in the cowling of the fan. You cannot have the same settings for both switches. Change one of the dip switch settings in one of the switches and make an identical change in the dip switch of the remote resident in the fan cowling. After that change, each switch will control one individual fan/light. I have 6 of these switches in my home and each works perfectly.

Typically the transmitters and receivers are on the same frequency. If you have dip switches on the receiver or transmitter, you might be able to change the frequency of one of the units.

NO. Both fans are controlled by one three-speed switch and thermostat. The earlier Honeywell models had individual controls but not this one. I miss that feature but the Honeywell quality, quietness and power of the two fans more than makes up for it.

You can control the fan from multiple switches, they need to be wired in parallel - no need for 3-way switches (or these can be timers, again don't have to be 3-way, just ensure they're rated for this fan).

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.

First of all, I'm not an electrician. Secondly, it was not designed to control two fans. With that said, I don't see any reason why it would not be able to control two fans. Be advised that one side of the switch has four settings for the fan - low, medium, high and very high. The other side is a true "slide" from zero to 100. I hope this helps. Good luck.

yes, i use the active air controller from amazon with my fan and it works BUT it is finicky. make adjustments to fan speed slowly. is it damaging my fan? i can't say. i have run it 24/7 for almost 4 months now for my indoor herb garden without a problem.

Is the fan the same fan you purchased with the original controller?? If so you shouldn't have to re-progam the control. When we got our replacement control we put in new batteries and it worked right away. If its a different fan then the original you should probably contact the manufactuer of the fan for help. I don't remember putting in any code???

One Fan. the PWM splitter only has one of the two connectors connected to the 'signal' of the pwm fan, so if both of your fans are the same, they will be running nearly identical speeds, but you can't control them separately.

Probably not because this controller is a wireless remote control and unless your two fans are wired in series, the switch will only control one fan that the receiver unit is wired to. If the receiver can be wired so that it can send current to both fans when the switches are turned on, then it may work.

If there are two wires coming out of the fan then yes. If there are three then you will need to build a pwm controller. If there are four wires, you will still need to build the controller.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

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!

Kathleen: If you are handy you will need to run extra wiring from wall to ceiling mount. Or , just put a wireless receiver in the fan base so it can be regulated remotely ~ makes life easier.

The communication to the fan is wireless (effectively the same as using a remote), so I'd think you could add as many controls as you want.

Hello, There is only one control connection. You cannot have both connected at the same time.

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.

you have a remote for each fan or light - it only works with the one it's programmed to - you have to match the little bar settings in the remote to the bar settings in the fan or light. hope this helps....Bobby
