Would this work with a wall switch? Or do you have to flip the switch and then turn the fan on as well?

It does not work with a wall switch. After being turned off by switch, you will have to restart with the remote.

No. It has to have power, and then be turned on with the remote or button on the unit.

it works from the wall switch, plugs into the wall..You get a remote to turn on the fan, Once plugged in just turn on with the remote from anywhere in the room

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.

This fan can be turned on or off with the remote or wall switch. You cannot control the dimmer or speed from the wall switch.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

This item is hard-wired into the wall. There is a separate remote that came with my fan, that can fully operate the fan without the wall switch, however in my situation, having both options is very nice. In my case, the wiring did need to go from the Fan to the Switch for both to work.

Yes, quite easily. There is a pull chain for the fan and another for the fan. If so wired, the wall switch can turn on both, either can be turned off with the pull chains.

The remote did not work for some reason. I the kit for the Lutron stack switch came with the switch and an internal part for the fan. Once the internal part was installed the fan worked off the wall switch...but no reverse...so make sure you have the fan going in the correct direction before install.

Handheld, but includes a wall-mount holder that it slips into. I mounted my holder to a blank plate that replaced the existing wall switch and use it as if it were wall mounted. You don't want to turn this fan on and off with a normal wall switch, it's a multi-step procedure to turn it back on again once you turn off the power: You have to start it on the highest speed, let it come up to speed, then reduce the speed to the setting you want. Same is true if you reverse its direction. That's a little inconvenient at times, but the fan is so good in all other respects that it's worth it.

The switch will control power to the fan, but even once the switch is turned on, you will still need to use the remote to turn it on - there is no memory function that saves the ON/OFF state of the fan thru a power cycle.

If you replace a ceiling light with the fan, you can switch this on and off with your wall switch, just turn the fan and the light on when you initially set it up. They sell wall switches that can act like the remote, so you can change the fan speed and choose to turn the light on or off, while the fan is still running.

Hello! The fan is primarily controlled by the receiver module in the fan's canopy, which works on radio waves. In order to get the fan to work with a wall switch, you would need the WCS213 Wall Control by Minka. Otherwise, a normal switch would not turn it off or on. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

I did not install a switch for this fan. If I need to turn it off I'll use the circuit breaker.

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

The wall switch can still turn the fan / light on and off, however, when using the remote control wall switch becomes a mean of disconnecting the power. For the remote to work properly, Wall switch has to be in on position , pull chain on light kit has to be in on position and pull chain for fan has to be set at the high speed.

No. I don't think I've ever bought a fan with a wall switch included. We had a switch installed to operate it, though. It's not too much extra work.

This fan comes with a remote that has a wall mountable bracket. You can use it as a wall switch or remove it and use it remotely in the room. The remote controls light brightness levels as well as fan speed and on/off control. I just leave the builder installed wall switch in the "on" position and control it wth the remote.

You can do either. Wall switch has to be on for remote to work. I suggest a dimmer wall switch also for fan and light. Awesome looking fan and very quiet.
