I added a Hunter-brand remote control switch to operate the ceiling fans in my two bedrooms. They don’t have a red wire for separate fan and light control, so it was either this or run new wire. It’s two parts - a transmitter that replaces your wall switch, and a receiver unit that you wire into the fan housing. They were pretty easy to install, and only cost $35 or so at the time.

I’ve done that too. It’s better than using pull chains, as long as you don’t lose the remote.

I have a non remote kichler fan with a DC wall controller. No pull chains on the fan. Any idea if the caseta wall unit will integrate?

Sorry. I don’t know. I have no experience with DC fans.

What did you do to wiring on the fan? Were they always white on white?

@handydadtv Жыл бұрын

I just removed the remote receiver and connected the fan wires directly to the box wires, black to black and white to white.

Great video. Is that an AC or DC powered fan

@handydadtv 3 ай бұрын

All fans are powered by line voltage which is AC. If you mean the motor itself, sometimes they use DC motors internally. But I don’t know what this one has.

0:28 Question: did you actually remove the control module or just turn the unit to high using the existing remote and wire up accordingly? I love the Casetá system and have two fans to replace switches on. One has a loose, replaceable control module (line/neutral in & 3-16g strand wires out; the other must be integrated on the motor housing (just a line/neutral/ground connection) Great video btw👍🏻👍🏻

@handydadtv 11 ай бұрын

I actually removed the receiver module completely. Connecting the motor directly to power is the same as running it on high. Fan speed controls just toggle the power on and off very quickly to simulate lower speeds.

@mattfollett3368 11 ай бұрын

Interesting. So I’ll just have to get the wiring diagram, discern the L/N and direct wire. Thx for the reply. You just got yourself a new follower👍🏻👍🏻

@atommy4625 10 ай бұрын

So if my ceiling fan utilizes pull chains only (no remote) I only need to set the fan to high speed before programming? No need to open the wiring canopy?

@handydadtv 10 ай бұрын

@atommy4625 Yes. Make sure it’s on high before you start. Then remove the chain.

Hello sir, i installed this in-wall Lutron smart fan switch step by step from your video (not utilizing a pico remote). I installed the smart fan switch with the fan on the highest speed (chain fan). The issue I'm having is, the fan and lights will only work on the highest fan speed. When I use the lower speed modes, the fan and lights turn off. This happens with both the wall switch and Lutron app.

@handydadtv 10 ай бұрын

You definitely can’t control the light with the Lutron fan switch. That should be disconnected. I don’t know why it’s not working the fan properly. Check Lutron support.

I have Hampton Bay Mena fans throughout my house. They have a control box and a remote control but no smart home capability. I’m interested in doing this but my fan light and the fan itself are wired to the same switch. If the wall switch is on then the remote can control the light and fan. If the wall switch is off the remote controls nothing. How would I be able to control the light in this scenario as the Lutron switch only seems to handle controlling the fan itself?

@handydadtv 9 ай бұрын

In your situation, you wouldn’t be able to use the light.

@johnwienstroer1858 2 ай бұрын

Does it matter if your fan is ac or dc? I bypassed the on board control module and there are three wires coming out of motor. I’m assuming one of the wires is a speed control? I know which one is the live wire but had to experiment on which was the neutral. No matter how I hooked them up, I got a loud noise when fan started. Wonder if it is because it is a dc motor.

@handydadtv 2 ай бұрын

This switch controls the AC line going to the fan. It doesn’t matter if the fan has a DC motor.

@saulmartinez2657 10 ай бұрын

So light wiring is separate from fan?

@handydadtv 10 ай бұрын

Yes. Typically a prewired fan box uses 3-conductor wire with black, red and white. The red wire will typically be used for a switch to control the light.
