I would like to use this in the place of a two switch plate that controls the ceiling light and fan that are separate. Will this work? Thanks!

It will control both if wired correctly but it will not control them separately. Both will be on or off. To control them separately requires 2 switches.

i believe you should be able to accomplish that by a qualified electrian. However if you do that you not avail yourself to one the main feature of the Panasonic Whisper control switch is the humidity sensor that enables the blower fan to continue to run the moisture in bathroom is lowered to avoid mold and dampness. Strongly recommend the Panasonic switch.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

No. These are single pole devices. They will only work at 1 switch location each per fan / light.

I do not think it matters what type of fan you have. This device should work as long as you have space in the mount of your ceiling fan to store the receiver, which will receive a signal from the remote control. If your fan comes with a remote, you may end up disabling your own remote and replacing the remote with this device. I don't see why it should not work. This remote is communicating with its own set of sender and receiver, assuming that the fan remote does not co-exists and gets disabled.

Yes this will work with a 4 switch plate. It works with single, 3 way, and 4 way circuits.

Yes, it should. It simply controls power to the fan similar to a light switch.

This switch is for any fan, light and heater unit or any unit that has 3 functions. It would work on a two function unit you would just use 2 of the switches. I tried to look up the unit you mentioned on Amazon but it was missing a number. If your device has two or three functions then this switch will work.

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.

This is generic. It will work with any ceiling fan I've ever encountered. Ceiling fans have three active wires going into the fan mechanism: a wire for fan power, a wire for light power, and a neutral (plus a ground wire that attaches to something metal). You set the light(s) on and the fan on high speed. Then you hook up the control unit that comes with the remote--one wire for fan power, one wire for light power, one wire for neutral, and two wires to connect to incoming power. Make sure the remotes and the control unit are all on the same setting, and that normally works. Sometimes something electronic in your home may interfere and cause things to turn on and off at random times. If so, select a different setting for the control unit and the remotes (all still one setting). Not that hard. The hardest part is getting the control unit into the cramped space inside the fan housing.

Yes, I installed my fan that way. It mainly depends on how your house us wired. Many new construction houses have the wiring setup for ceiling fans where one switch operates the light, the other operates the fans. Older houses may require more work.

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

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

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

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

The fact that you have a 4 switch plate tells me little. I assume you mean that there are 4 switches at this SAME location. If this is correct, it will surely fit, a switch-plate change may be required if the switches are different types. The $64 question is "How many switches (at different locations) control this light?" If more than 1 (3 or 4 way) than you need Maestro switches at each location for the same fixture being controlled by this switch-set. If only 1 then this will work just dandy.

It should, however, I wonder if what you are trying to say is that if the same switch turn the fan and the light at the same time, or if you have two switches one for the light and the other for the fan? Mine, I have it installed with one switch and turns both the light and the fan, however since I also have recessed lights in this room, I have decided to leave the lights of the fan off and only use the fan. Hope this helps you.

Yes, I have the fan and light connected to a switch in my kitchen and you can still control the light from the switch on the fan. It works really good.
