Hello! do I have to replace the wall switch? or can I leave it alone and just install the remote receiver? if it comes with one! please elaborate.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

I wondered the same thing. Yes, this replaces the wall switch, and the switch must be wired so that the remote can be inserted serially in the hot side. There is NO wireless remote. If you don't understand that, you'll need to get an electrician to make sure it's wired correctly. It is a pain in the neck, but works very nicely.

Not much to work on here with the question, but I'll give it a try. The first and most obvious thing I would ask is whether you had an RF remote paired with the receiver before? The reason I ask is because the receiver in that case would still be in RF mode and not paired to the new receiver. You need to get the receiver back into IR mode and then go through the setup process with the new remote. If the receiver is in IR mode, then you have a broken remote.

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything.***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

Yes. You have to leave the wall switch on for the remote to work. The wall switch is independent of the remote. You can turn everything on and off with the wall switch. The remote only works when the wall switch is on.

Hello! You can purchase a wall switch to operate the fan separately, SW90W, SW46W, SW46LA or SW90LA. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Better Living Store

If you have a 3 way switch .. two wall switches that will operate one light ... you must replace it with a three way switch. this kit is not two identical switches it's a master and remote setup.

I guess I wasn't clear about the wires. This would be so much easier if I could upload a picture. There needs to be a wire for power to the new unit. That's the issue. If there is none such coming out of the opener to connect to the new receiver, you need the power transformer I mentioned. I'd almost bet you need it, given the wires you mentioned. Still cheaper than a new opener.

Hi Deanna, unfortunately I am not using the remote that came with the fan. I purchased two fans for my back patio and opted to hard-wire them together to my switch. So I am only using my wall control. When it comes time to go backwards, I will just switch/press the small lever on the actual fan itself. Sorry I couldn't confirm this for you...:(

Nope. You have to push a button on the remote. Until the cover/on/off switch is lost and you have to throw it away. They won't sell you a replacement part. Guess how I learned this! (my advice -buy a different brand)

I hope this is the issue I'm having. I've already had the technician out last week to replace the main board for this problem. The remote seemed to have worked for 5 minutes, like you said, and literally as he was leaving my driveway I tried to change the source and the remote didn't work again! I was so frustrated, and thanks to you I will be geared up with this information so perhaps he can fix it this time!

Are you saying the remote would not work? Or the unit itself? The unit gets plugged into the wall socket. If the remote won't work, I would contact the company.

For the hand-held remote, nothing additional needed and it will work nicely with a direct wired fan (mine is that way). I did not opt to go with the wall switch because it's really not necessary. The hand-held remote is great.

If you leave it turned on via the remote, you can then use a wall switch for on/off. We've mounted the remote beside the wall switch and sometimes just use the switch that way.

You need to take off your old receiver and install the 2 wires to either the pushbutton or on the motor where the wall button wires connect .I would hook it to the motor

Nope. Sorry. This one does not have any remotes.You could probably add one into the wall switch though. I have seen them around. They replace the simple on/off lever with a sensor and remote.

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.
