I have the fan and recessed ceiling lights wired to an on/off switch. Only way to control fan is by the cord. Could this kit give me better control?

I don't think so. The light that is controlled by the switch is the light associated with a fan and wired into that and not separate light

Do the fan and lights share the same wiring? Does the light need to be on in order for the fan's cord to work? Do you have room for the remote module to be wired in somewhere (typically above the fan)? If the answer to all of these are yes, then it should work.

This Lutron control is designed to work with a paddle fan with an attached light. This will not work with recessed lighting. Does your paddle fan have an attached light kit? Paul

Recessed lights must be powered from fan box and wired to receiver as if they were a light kit. DON'T go over the max wattage of receiver and all will work fine. It's been done before. I recommend an electrician making the proper connections though. Your loved ones are not replaceable.

The light and fan have pull-chain switches. The light switch is off/on. The fan switch is off-high-med-low-offYou could also install a wireless remote control. It will allow you to control the fan speed and the light (with or without a wall switch). The wireless remote kits are $18 at Walmart.

Yes the room light and fan can be controlled separately with a split switch designed to accommodate the two different functions. This kind of switch - bought on line from a big box hardware store - goes in the same electrical box that contained the original, single pole switch that turned the fan and light on simultaneously. I did not care about the night light, so my new switch separately controls only the fan and larger room light, not the night light.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. I installed a remote control with mine, but if you have 2 "hots" along with neutral and ground along with the appropiate switch then no additional wiring would be required to control the fan and light independently at the wall.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.

No. The switch for a 3-way is different. The wiring, fan or not, is also. I do not know if a 3-way version of the in box fan control exists. You could just use a regular 3-way switch set-up treating the fan as though it were just a light bulb. You can then use the battery powered remote that comes with the fan to control the fan and it's light. You could also acquire a second battery remote so a remote could be next to both switches. I suggest you contact an electrician if you need more information.

Yes, it is not a dimmer, so pull cords on the fan/light would have to be used to control speed and number of bulbs in use at time switch is turned on. Not sure why one would need remote control of fan/light unless this is the only one in the area that needs to look like it is being lived in

Sorry, I'm not a technical person, but my electrical guy installed that for me to replace one I had there that did not work very well. The light switch is separate from it. For the ceiling fan, you set it for whatever speed you want each time. Off, high, medium or low. You can adjust it to any speed you want. Hope that helps.

This is a hardwired ceiling fan switch. If the fan is wired into the overhead wiring of your room and you install this in place of the wall switch, following the instructions, it will work very well..... with all the variable speeds, etc., working separately. I find that I use the hard-wired wall switch more often than the remote.

Yes it is wired to add a light kit. If you are looking to control the fan and the light separately from a wall control you may need to check the electric wires to the fan itself in order to get the discrete operation. Consult an electrician to see if you can use existing wiring to discretely control both. Otherwise you can hang the fan and light kit and operate the light with the chain at the light kit.

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.

Yes since this fan/light control is really a wireless transmitter for on/off/dimmer and speed. If you set the receiver in the fan/light to the same settings they will both be controlled.

The controller only controls the power input to the fan. It does not shut fans completely off at the lowest setting, so even if it did control LED power it would never be "off" only dimmer than full power.

There is a separate branch circuit in the unit so that you can wire it to its own switch. If you install it as it comes, then the fan will go on with the light. There is a wiring diagram in the package that tells you how to wire it. Good luck!
