*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*

Clear and concise how to video. Much appreciated. Like the wrapping of the switch prior to stuffing it into the box.

I enjoy your camera persona. Easy to follow and clear and concise with your instructions. My situation is similar but different. I have a standard wall switch but it must be at the end of the circuit as I only have one black and white wires

Thank you for sharing. Do I need to do anything with existing pull chain of fan/light if I want to connect that remote system?

@richardsauer7477 4 жыл бұрын

What about using two wall switches? One for fan and one for light.

Hi, I would like to bypass the remote control module of my ceiling fan/light to be able to use a wall switch with 2 buttons (one to turn on the fan, and another to turn on the led light). From my ceiling I got 4 wires: fan-light-neutral-ground From the ceiling fan I have 5 wires: blue-white from the light, and black-red-white from the motor Please let me know how to attach them together to achieve what I want. TIA!

Does this mean the fan can only run if the lights are on? I want the switch to control the lights and the remote to control the fan, independently.

Recently purchased this Wall control and need help how to wire for this (Model #F-WCBT-WT) switch and cant figure out how to connect the House wires with only 1 Black and 1White (And ground). The Wall Control device has 1 Black, 1 White, 1 Red and 1 Green (GND). I found on a blog somewhere that you just cap off the RED but that does nothing, the Fan will not operate with the Wall Control. I tried connecting the Red and BLACK from Wall Control to the house Black (Hot). No help. Purchased this Wall Control for this Ceiling fan: Modern Forms FH-W2004-44L-MW Tip Top Indoor or Outdoor Flush mount Smart Home Ceiling Fan with Remote Control, 44in Blade Span, Matte White. (Per Install manual recommendation.). BTW - The fan works just fine with the Blue Tooth Remote. I wanted a wall Switch if the remote gets lost or grow legs and walks away.

What if power arrives into fixture box, instead of switch box, ( with same single pole switching and remote.) and then continues on to the next receptacle?

@jamiepipp 7 жыл бұрын

rowdydemon you need to pig tail The direct power from the box to the line feeding the next outlet to keep constant power flowing

You show that u wired up the fan and light, but with only one switch how do you control the light and fan separately?

With the remote control

@rajasruji2476 3 жыл бұрын

@@sweetnsouthern1984 can't we have individual wall switches, I don't need control of the light using the remote (don't need dimming). But I need to be able to dim the fan but need individual switch. I have white, red, black and ground coming from the ceiling.

@What_Fred_Said Жыл бұрын

These fans with remote are not worth the trouble. Trust me trying to figure out what wire goes where is nearly impossible because the damn wires are not color coordinated!

Also trying to cram all that stuff into a little box is impossible too!

@gabegarza6780 4 жыл бұрын

You still need the remote and good batteries to operate the remote for the light, so what's the point? Get rig of the stupid remote totally
