You can as long as you don't mind both fans going on and off at the same time. If you only want one fan going you must turn one off with the pull chain. To do this though you would have to reset the dip switches in the receiver and jumpers in the remote to be the same for both fans. You may have to partially remove the fan to reset the dip switches, so you might as well just buy a new remote and receiver unit.

It's not a good idea, but technically yes. The remotes and the receivers have dip switches on them. As long as the settings on both are the same, the remote will control the fan. Therefore, if you have two fans with two receivers that both have the same settings as a single remote, it would operate both of them. However, I wouldn't assume it will control them in unison, especially if both fans are not perfectly within line of sight of each other. For that reason I would recommend a second remote (you can use the same type; it would just be controlled with a different setting). Regardless of that, will it work? Yes.

Yes, if they both have the same code set in the fan & remote. Now you may run into a problem where the fans are close enough that the remote will operate both fans at the same time.

I suppose it could work. As long as you want both fans on the same setting at the same time. You just would need to crawl up a ladder to the fan with the broken remote and put it on the same channel as this remote.

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.

There are dip switch settings on both the switch and the remote that resides in the cowling of the fan. You cannot have the same settings for both switches. Change one of the dip switch settings in one of the switches and make an identical change in the dip switch of the remote resident in the fan cowling. After that change, each switch will control one individual fan/light. I have 6 of these switches in my home and each works perfectly.

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.

don't know ...... i have 6 fans ....... one can be operated on wall or remote, 2 are operated on wall switch, but my three canarm ltd's are operational by remote ...... so i don't know if they can be operated by a wall switch

Yes this can easily be done by changing the 4 pin DIP switch setting under the battery cover of the remote and fan receiver. So you will have 5 different settings on these dip switches for 5 different fans.

Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed. Why purchase an "extra" transmitter if you want both fans to work on a single remote? Yes, two fans can be operated with a single remote but it will not take long until they are out of sync with each other. Press the light button and one light will come on as the other goes off. If you have at least one on a wall switch then it is relatively easy to get them back into sync. Just change the codes within the fan unit to be the same as within the transmitter. You probably will not like the results because of them getting out of sync often. Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed.

As long as the dip switch pattern on both fans is set to the same pattern of the remote, it should control both fans.

No. you can have more than 1 receiver controlled by 1 remote but you can only have 1 remote for the system.

I only have one, but I think that the remote controls have the same frequency and as such it will turn on and off both at the same time.

Yes, if your original fan uses a remote with similar functions. Start by setting the dip switch settings in the battery compartment to match your original remote, if you still have it. My original remote had all the switches set to up(didn't work). I moved them to all down(didn't work). I moved the left most switch up and left the others down and it works perfectly. Good luck there are 16 different combinations. :-)

As an owner of the fan there is nothing in the information included with the fan discussing remote options, but it did just say in one place if used with a dimmer switch or remote tgat cfl might be a problem. It did also say to check out hunter options which it didn't include. It is a very nice fan.

No, the remotes all have a different code. If you have two sets of lights plugged together you can use one remote.

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

If both fan wall controllers and the remote have the same dip switch settings they should operate "as one".. however I would recommend a remote for each fan so they can run independently. I have three fans on our porch and having them independent of each other is well worth the price of the extra remote.

Yes, you can! We have 4 and they worked great all together. You use 4 the same way you use 2....you have to aim each remote at each other and hit 'reset'...making sure all 4 light up and make reset noise.

You can use one for both. Unless you have the same TV at both houses, you will probably have to create different remote pages in the app.
