Just bought a house with 5 Hampton Bay ceiling fan/light combos. The 3 w/o remotes work great, the 2 w/ remotes work as follows: If I give power to the fan wall switch, both the fan and lights are available via remote, and only via remote. Until the remote is hit, nothing happens. The light wall switch does absolutely nothing. Cutting the fan wall switch cuts all power to the assembly. The wiring looks about the same as the 3 non-remote units; hot black in, yellow to fan, red to light. I saw a similar post on here in which the poster could not retain the same usage he left when switching the wall switches off then back on. Is there any way to wire this unit to work such that the remote is used as a luxury, and not a necessity? I'd say the need/desire to use my remote is about 5% of the overall usage. Everything else I'm wall switch or bust. If my desires do not conform to how this unit was intended, is there any way to jumper out the remote signal I/O so that it 'thinks' it's always true. That way the fan/light switches would be basically ON/OFF. I would lose the dimming/speed functions, but as I forgot to mention, I don't have them at this point anyway so I wouldn't be missing much.
Thanks for the help! |

| Do these remote fans also have pullchains? | ||||||
