DIY: How To Install a Ceiling Fan Remote! 

Quick question: If you dim the light and then shut off the switch, is it still dimmed when you turn the switch back on or does it reset? My ceiling fan is too bright for everyday use so I would use this more to turn it down a bit but would also like the remote on occasion. I have a fan with a remote in another room and when I turn the switch off and on I have to actually turn the light back on using the remote. The remote controller just resets to everything off when I turn off the switch which is very annoying.

Thank you.. I got mine to work because of this video. My problem was I was trying to connect it using both the light and fan wall switches.. Once I used one and tucked the other one away it worked perfectly. Thanks

Where is the capacitor?

I installed a remote control fan and the light switch that was used to control the previous fan and light needed to be removed. Every time you flipped the switch it would blow the fuse. So I needed to cover it with a cover plate… Had I seen this beforehand I could have solved that problem.

To many wires and trying to cram all that back in is impossible

Ours is a bathroom light and fan, where the only wires visible are two wires for the fan. It's an extractor fan not a spinning ceiling fan. So I just want to use this to control the fan since at the moment the only way to switch the fan on and off is to climb up and disconnect the two wires. The old method was a pull chain mechanism that broke and can't be replaced. Can we use this product for just the fan, if so what is different in the wiring?

So i installed this from this video. Great Instructions. FOllowed them exactly and did great!. Took me a while because of my fan, location etc. Did notice one thing though - i dont have dimmable bulbs but the light brightness has gone down considerably. Before the remote, the 4 bulbs were very very bright. Now they are very low. Not sure if it is something i did?? Any suggestions?

This was very helpful in showing where to place the receiver box.

The remote I'm replacing only has 4 wires the new remote has five wires

Straightforward and simple explanation. I'm a handy person but was intimidated by the ceiling wiring for the fan and what goes and comes from wher. Appreciate your explanation. Nicely done.

thanks a ton Mitch, you DIY guys are true internet heroes.

Thanks for this video! It was very helpful for figuring out how to REMOVE a remote control kit from a fan that was already setup when I bought this house. We wanted change out the awful wall switch for a lutron dimmer/fan control and the existing radio control kit really confused things for a bit. I didn't even know such kits existed until I started the install today!

Great video. Included all one needs to do the install correctly. Even video angle and light was spot on.

Thanks for the excellent video. I now have the courage to buy the kit and install it!

Great video , I like the close up shots and the way you explain it. Well done. I will subscribe. Thank you
