Can I wire this to two independant wall switches and not use the remote. One switch would control the light and one switch would control the fan?

I seem to remember the manual having instructions for wiring the fan to two switches; one for fan and the other for light. However, the fan doesn't have any onboard controls, so you will need the remote to adjust fan speed and direction and the light dimmer. Try checking the Emerson website for the manual and while you're there, see if they make a compatible wall switch that has the speed and dimmer functions from the remote. Or just resign yourself to the remote. I didn't think I would like it either, but it's ended up being really nice to not get out of bed to change the fan speed.

No, I don't have a remote. I use a wall switch and pull cords for light and fan.

Yes. You can wire this so that the fan and the light are operated by separate switches.

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

One switch for both. There is only one power wire connection to fan. It was designed to work off the remote.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.

The wall remote has to be hooked to power, and is constructed like any wall switch. There is also a fan controller which goes between wires connecting fan. The remote sends RF signals to fan controller to turn on light, fan, etc. i suppose you could use it for something else, but I would think there are better solutions for wirelessly controlling other electronics

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

I set mine up with wall controls (1 gang "switch" but with separate fan and light dimmer settings, with its own remote and control system that replaces the one that came with this unit - from Lutron). I did not want to have just the remote, or a single control/switch on the wall. If you're wiring this up new, consider using 12-3 wire (versus 12-2) - the extra "line" (2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) allows you more flexibility with fan/light fixtures for separate controls "at the switch." Incidentally I've had these units a little while now and both are working just fine.

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.

Short answers is no. If you don't have a seperate switch in the same location that controls the fan then you'll need an electrician to run an additional wire from rhe fan to the switch box.

Yes, there are two separate slider switches on the wall panel, one for the light and one for the fan. Keep in mind that you will need 4 wires from the switch to the ceiling fan for this to work instead of the standard 3 wires.

If you currently have only one switch both the fan and light will operate when the switch is turned on. If you have two wall switches currently, one that operates a fan and one that operates the light in the fan assembly then you will have the option to have only the light operating without the fan being on. If the second switch currently operates the lights over the sink then you will not have the option of light only in the fan assembly.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.
