Does the remote need a line of site to the thermostat? If not, will it work if there is a wall separating the thermostat and remote?

No, the remote works through walls just fine. We use it on the first floor for a thermostat on the second floor, so it works through floors as well as walls.

The remote does not need a line of sight. Its a radio signal not infrared. I control it from the second floor and the thermostat is on the first floor. Quite handy.

I unfortunately had issues with the remote function. My 1st one worked well, until I dropped it on floor/carpet. It did not require line of sight. My replacement & 3rd unit remote did not work at all. I recently purchased a CTC 43055 Digital Thermostat 1H/1C Non-Programmable with Remote Control. It works very well, but range is limited to approx. 50-60 ft & functions thru walls.

Mine works just fine with thermostat in the living room and using the remote from either my bedroom or office.

No line of site needed. I can control it from any where in the home 1600 sq ft house

I used mine from another room without issues reaching the thermostat. The remote only worked for about a year and I wasn't able to find a replacement.

It does not require a line of sight. My wife can use it upstairs to control the temperature of the thermostat located downstairs.

Your Remote Control needs direct line of sight to the receiver - so as long as that is true you are all set. I have my TV mounted above fireplace with receiver mounted under the mantel, this has worked out great.

Josie, the remote receives it power from the wall switch. When the switch is on, the remote is powered. When the switch is off, the remote is not powered. Therefore, the wall switch must always be in the on position. I did have a problem when I connected both the power leads in the fan/light to the remote. When I use only one of the power leads and capped the other one off, everything started working just fine. Hope this helps.Lee

The odds are it will not work. The remote control is a two part system. The transmitter,(the hand held / wall mounted portion) and the receiver (box with wires that connects to the fan located in the bezel between the fan and the ceiling). Both the hand held transmitter and the wired receiver have a series of dip switches that need to be set the same for the remote to work. I recommend you purchase a new remote and have a certified electrician install it.

I did not use the original thermostat that came with the unit, I used my wall mounted line thermostat.

This heater is not made for a wall mounted thermostat. I'm sure a person who knew what they were doing could disassemble the unit and "rig" one up. The thermostat that is on the heater works pretty well.

The thermostats we purchased went on the baseboard, but they do make a model for a wall mount it will have a wire between the two. They are made to fit in a switch box.

I never actually used it. I purchased it because I needed to relocate my thermostat, but was put off by the rerouting of the wires. After some thought, I figured how to reroute the wires, so I returned it before I installed it.

This remote control comes with a sleeve that can be attached to a wall but, as far as I know, there is no separate control that can be wired into the circuit as a wall switch. I don't see why such a thing would be needed.

I got the one with the thermostat built in to it. If you want the thermostat remote, follow the recommended installation instructions. they make it simple to understand.

I set mine up with wall controls (1 gang "switch" but with separate fan and light dimmer settings, with its own remote and control system that replaces the one that came with this unit - from Lutron). I did not want to have just the remote, or a single control/switch on the wall. If you're wiring this up new, consider using 12-3 wire (versus 12-2) - the extra "line" (2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) allows you more flexibility with fan/light fixtures for separate controls "at the switch." Incidentally I've had these units a little while now and both are working just fine.

Yes you will need a thermostat. I used the one that was on the old unit and its working just fine.

The remote can learn the functions of any remote so the sensors are not required for line of site components. For example my TV is line of sight and does not require a sensor. My av receiver, satelite dish receiver and dvd player and the remote hub(powerblaster) are hidden in another room. The sensors are placed over the RF sensors of the components and plugged into the back of the hub.

If the existing thermostat just closes a low voltage circuit it should work. That's most two wire thermostats. The only other considerations are the minimum run time and the low & high set point. You can adjust the temp spread on this unit using jumpers inside it.

That's correct, no line of sight is needed. The directions insert shows the signal bouncing off the ceiling or wall - and I guess that's what happens because I just point the remote slightly toward to ceiling and it works like a charm.

My remote us not wired into the wall. I have it so I can use like a TV remote. Hope this answer your question. The fan is beautiful.

It needs the C-wire. In my case the A/C unit had the connection and I could use the existing wire as a pull string to run the new one. I bought this unit specifically because of it's width. The battery powered units I could find would not fit between the two door jams where my old thermastat was.
