Worked well for a year, and then… I installed this remote along with my new Hunter fan, and it worked well for about a year.Then I started noticing that the light or the fan would start turning on by themselves. At first it was just a rare event, but then it became more and more frequent. Now the fan and the light are on just about all the time. I turn them off–but within a few hours they turn on again. What an annoyance.
Worse than useless As others have pointed out, this control disables your wall switch. It would have been really easy for Hunter to design it to turn the fan and/or light ON when the wall switch is turned on – after all, if you’re turning the wall switch on, you probably want the lights or fan on, right? But no – after turning the wall switch on you then have to find the remote (sometimes in the dark) and turn that on too. The instructions recommend just leaving the wall switch on all the time, but that’s impractical for several reasons. First, the remote control box in the wall switch then becomes an “energy vampire”, using up your electricity 24/7. Second, wall light switches are almost always mounted by doors so you don’t have to search for them in a dark room – this remote completly defeats that purpose.This was also a pain to install – the control box did not fit inside the fan cowling as advertised; it took a lot for wire jiggling and pushing (while perched on a 20 foot step ladder – NOT FUN!) to get it installed inside.Having used this a few days, I think I’m going to take it out, throw it in the trash, and just use the wall switch; or buy a better designed remote. The only thing stopping me is I’ll have to go up that ladder again. What a waste of time and money.
Good basic remote 1. Installation is not hard if you have any aptitude for wiring. I have installed this unit with Hampton Bay and Hunter fans. Can be a snug fit in the fan housing. Tie wraps are handy to keep the wiring under control.2. I have three remotes on three fans. I too have noticed one of my fans turning on randomly! It is the fan where I did not change the factory default remote code setting. Most likely there is some other wireless device nearby that is interfering (I live in a condo). If I change the setting to some other channel the problem will probably go away.3. The 12v battery is an “A23” type and available at any chain drug store. You’ll pay through the nose for one — $6! I found better deals on ebay, less that $1 per battery for qty 5, though it took two weeks for them to arrive (shipped from Hongkong).4. I wish they sold the remote handheld unit separately with a wall mount kit. I’d put one by each entry door if I could.
