With this receiver/remote system, does your current light switch toggle become obsolete?

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

Actually I use the regular wall switch to turn the light on and off. I use the remote to dim the light or to activate the fan

Not really, still need the light switch to send power. Switch will be in the on position permanently, and the light and fan controlled by remote.

Your light switch still has to be on the "on" position for the remote to be able to control the fan. So if you were to leave the switch on permanently, then it does become obsolete to some degree.

No. There is a box that gets hardwired between the fan and power source in the bracket that is the receiver for the remote control. A dimmer switch would only ruin that receiver.

Yes, if you buy another Stanley remote (the ones sold in the three pack with the handheld remote), one of those receivers can be programmed to respond to this switch. I have two separate lights in different parts of the room responding to the same switch.

yes, you can just bypass the remote receiver and not even install it, but it is nice for changing fan speed and dimming the light.

The remote light switch is designed for use with specific remote units. I bought the wrong one initially and had to go to the manufacturer to find out which unit(s) would work. Give them a call with details about the remote unit you already have - they were very helpful. This switch and remote have performed without trouble for the past year. The only "problem" is that the switch is quite deep and may not fit flush in all boxes.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

Yes of course. The relay can either be connected instead of your switch or in the light you want to control. With the remote control you can turn your light on and off from even a long distance. If you are going to connect the relay instead of your switch make sure you have a neutral cable there.

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

No. The only way to do so is to use a toggle switch add on. If you don't want the light you can simply not install it as I did.

If the remote will cut all power to the light then yes you can. Each time the power is cut off and turned back on quickly the program will change.

You can use a dimmer to replace the normal on/off switch to control it. The installation is the same as the normal switch.

Yes you can, just program it as you would any other remote. It won't interfere with the one you currently try have. I set up two using the same button and have no issues. It also allows you to set a button to turn on and off the lights if you have lights set up.

Simple answer is yea you can. Whether you or someone else install just let them know you don't want the remote start function. Even if they do it install it a switch can turn it on or off whenever you want it disabled. Hope this helps.

not sure if you can do that with this switch unless you find a remote that works on the same frequency

I returned mine and ended up purchasing the HDE Optical Toslink 3 Way Switch. It's not as convenient but it works for me. It's been almost two years so they're at least somewhat reliable too.HDE Optical Toslink 3 Way Switch

You can use your wall switch as a master power disconnect, but the various functions of the fan & light will still be controlled by the remote.

No it doesn't work as simple light switch. There is an on off function for the sensor though.I do not see a lack of this function as a problem at all. :) I still recommend this.
