I want to use this on a ceiling fan that is not controlled by a switch. Can I still still use?

Yes, just don't add a wall switch when wiring it to the fan and use Z-Wave to switch on and off. Be sure not to use the triac dimmer model on an inductive load or a newer model with an current limiter on the light fixture portion.

No problem, just dont plug the swicth and will work fine. If you want more information you can find on Aeon Labs website ( http://aeotec.com/support/1219-micro-switch-wiring-schematics.html)

I have not used it for that application. I have spent a good bit of time learning the functions that it offers. It's basically an on/off switch. You can wire it into anything just as you would a switch. You need to find a place to connect it that has hot, ground, AND neutral. It will not work without a neutral.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

No it would not work with a ceiling fan. And it looks really cheap, so you aren't missing out!

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

You can connect the fan directly to the outlet, thru the thermostat. You can also use another electrical item if you have the plug-in outlet. Just assure that you do not exceed the amphere rating of the circuit.

This particular switch will not work on fans that aren't remote controlled .

There are many different kinds of 4-wire 3-speed switches used in ceiling fans. Just because your fan has 4 wires doesn't mean this model switch will work. Try to find a replacement switch model number in the instructions that came with your fan.

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

No. The light is only activated by switch. You can choose to wire the fan up to a switch, but by doing so you would lose the automated feature of it while the switch is off. The fan is meant to be connected to an always live source so that it will turn itself on when it senses motion or humidity. Basically, there are 2 separated power leads on this unit. 1 for the light, and 1 for the fan.

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.

Yes, you can use a wall switch to control the Metropolitan ceiling fan.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

I had an electrician install this to a ceiling fan thatwas probably more than 30 years old--before therereally was such a thing. In my non-expert opinion,as long as it is professionally installed there shouldn'tbe any problem.

i used a transformer, relay and low voltage thermostat. I would assume if the switch you use is 110v to the fan it would be fine

This is how I use it, but you'll need 14/3 wire from the switch to the fan to do this. (Usually black + red "hot", white neutral , and bare copper ground). Most switches are only wired with 14/2 wire which only has one hot (no red)

I would think so. What are you trying to operate with this switch? I used it for a whole house fan.

There isn't a switch included on the fan. You can purchase a specific rheostat type switch or as I did just use a standard on/off switch.

As far as we know, you can't. You must physically get to the fan and flip the switch on the fan.
