I already have a light/fan that is operated by remote control. Will this work to replace my worn out control?

I can't honestly answer that since it is wired for a remote already. My opinion is that you can remove the current fan remote brain, which should be in the fan ceiling housing and replace it with any other remote brain.

Hello! Some ceiling fans i've mounted have remote controls that are especially made for a specific fan model by the same manufacturer. These Bahama Breeze remotes are used on ceiling fans that have never had remote controls made specifically for them.

Probably not. This switch works if you have 2 hot wires from the fixture to the switch (1 for the fan & 1 for the light). Unless your ceiling box is already wired this way (and they usually aren't), your options are to use a remote or the pull chains that came with the fan.

Yes but you silk need to leave both the light and fan sliders on full in order to use the remote

I am not sure as my electrician used the remote. It is however, an amazing fan....enjoy!

Yes. After you get it all set up, the light switch really is no longer used. It actually comes with a bracket that is placed over the wall switch in which you place the remote. It's a wonderful fan, about to replace all in my home with these.

Found this on the Hunter website. Sounds like it should be what you need. Good luck! Amazon should have this.http://www.hunterfan.com/Products/Accessories/Ceiling_Fans/Controls/Fan/Light_remote_Control_for_Hunter_Original_fans-27187/

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

It worked fine for me as a replacement for a remote that went bad. It comes with some components for the ceiling fan, but I did not need them.

Yes, you would need to replace the other switch as well. Also, this switch uses IR and not RF for remote control, so line of sight is required.

Sorry, I don't know. We don't have a remote, we just pull the switch for the fan & the light. ( pull switches are more heavy duty than on older fans)

If you are replacing a remote. I got one and sent it back. One has to install a receiver in the fan (you can't just program the remote). I talked to Hunter and they no longer made the remote that came with my fan(only way to control it) I ended up looking at the model number on my broken remote and I found a new one on ebay. It worked great. Good Luck.

I don't know about that fan, but that is what I did on mine. I did not change the controller in the fan, only the switches in the remote to match my current remote. It worked great!

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

There seem to be conflicting answers here. Does anyone know if you need to install a receiver or not? How would the fan know to be controlled by this remote otherwise? It's currently hooked up to our existing remote which is broken. So how do I "tell" the new remote to control this fan?

Sorry for the delay, but I needed to return home to examine the fan. Replace the wall on-off switch with a multi-position fan control switch. No remote is needed.

Two things to know:If you have a wall switch fan and dimmer, I believe you can still use it. The remote operates from a completely separate box that must be installed into the fan/light fixture itself and the remote only reads that box. So, it stands to reason both will work for you.

Yes, just make sure you transfer the remote control module from the old fan and wire it in the same way on the new one. The remote control module are usually a add on device that is separate from the fan itself.
