if I buy two installed in adjacent rooms, do I have to worry about remote accidentally controlling both fans, or is each remote keyed to only one fan?

I only have one but I have two of another in my master suite and don't have a problem, I would think they are keyed to different codes. if not you should be able to change one of the controllers to a different code.

I have four Minka fans in different rooms of the house, and have reprogrammed the remotes to prevent interference. It is pretty simple to do. There's little toggle switches in the remote that you can flip, and the fan "learns" the new code.

The switch comes with a matching transmitter that connects to the fan. You need two separate switch and transmitters to control two fans.

most likely it will NOT work - our electrician (the one we had to hire when we could not get either of the 2 remotes offered on Amazon to work) asked me, "Where is the 'brains' that came with these two remotes?" Yes, you can set the small switches inside the remote to match the programming of the fan, but you need the small computerized inside works for these remotes to make them "talk" to or operate the fan or the lights. He told me to go to Home Depot to get the "universal" fan remote control - apparently it has everything it needs so you can set it to match the programming of your fan - meaning, it WILL work.

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

One Fan. the PWM splitter only has one of the two connectors connected to the 'signal' of the pwm fan, so if both of your fans are the same, they will be running nearly identical speeds, but you can't control them separately.

Sorry for the late response. I only bought the remote to replace a broken one. the fan already have a receiver. I just adjust the 4 number sequence to match the remote. If you fan doesn't have a receiver or a remote set up you have to buy them both.

No. It's a single unit piece with a control that manages both fans together.

I put fans (2) in adjacent rooms. Both fans work with the same remote. I just point the remote at the fan I want to adjust and it works.

You can use a universal remote. I took the remotes out of my old fans ( different brand ) and put them in these fans. Works better than the old ones.

No I wired both fans on....it was designedb for one...but I made two work. ..I just put a 20 amp fuse to prevent spikes in voltage

I seriously doubt it. You really need to be pointing at the unit with the remote, so as long as one isn't within line of site you can prob use both within same room.

They can only control the fan/ligh they are wired to. You can install 2 side by side, and they will still only control what they are physically wired to control. These are not "wireless" if that is what you are asking.

The fan control is hard wired to the fan and only operate one fan. If you have a wireless controller you just have to change the dim switches to a different sequence

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.

Hi Barbara, I have that scenario on my porch (2 fans, 1 remote). Although technically you COULD have each fan on a different speed with one remote, it's a little tricky. If you're in the same room with one remote that's programmed to the same frequency as both fans, they tend to both respond to the remote. At my place I always want them in tandem. But yeah I guess you could position the remote in a way that one fan receives the input and not the other. The remotes are really easy to pair with a fan (or fans) by the way. There are simple instructions in the remote manual, and there's no ladder necessary :) Hi Barbara, I have that scenario on my porch (2 fans, 1 remote).

First of all, I'm not an electrician. Secondly, it was not designed to control two fans. With that said, I don't see any reason why it would not be able to control two fans. Be advised that one side of the switch has four settings for the fan - low, medium, high and very high. The other side is a true "slide" from zero to 100. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Generally you would want to activate those fans with a thermostatic switch.... but no, no switches at all, just fans.
