Amazon Customer: does what I wanted

Erwin Van Den Broecke: Everything is OK with this fan control, except the size of the remote unit, it's rather large, or should I say excessively long. There are many fans with a base small enough that this unit will NOT work, because it won't fit in the electrical box/base of the fan. I have yet to install this in the fan I had intended it for but it may fit in one of my others that is not remote controlled. I bought this specifically to replace the remote control that came with one of my fans that the remote has stopped working (the remote no longer works at all, it only goes on to mid speed with no light, if I use the wall switch). So I may have to return it if it will not fit into either fan.

Amanda: This is a really great product that replaces many of those remote controls that come with ceiling fans.
This is the 4-DIP Switch type wall transmitter and it ships with the receiver too! So if you have a fan without a receiver, you can set it up. They used to sell the wall transmitters separate which was better as many fans come with a transmitter. It just has to be the 4-DIP Switch type (Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Richler all have this same unit just rebranded in some way).

Scott: A great product for restoring functionality to a fried remote control fan. Also, the wall control makes sure you don't lose the remote or need batteries. Great idea. The design of the product is questionable as it was evidently not made to be used in a 2 gang junction box. The rounded shape looks odd, and I had to purchase longer machine bolts and washers to stop the metal at the top and bottom from bending while screwing it into the box. If you only have one gang box, you will be spared this headache. Depending on the size of your working area in the fan, you could also run an ewelink breaker before the remote so you can get cloud /phone/alexa voice control.

McGadget: Was easy to install. Receiver fit easily into the cowling. Wiring clearly labeled. As I removed one wire from the old receiver I attached it to the new avoiding any confusion with the fan/light wiring which was not labeled.

The switch itself works perfectly and better than the old. Not only that but with the old I had the standard switch and then the ugly setup with the remote right beside it.

Full marks for use and ease of installation.

AustinTiffany: Works beautifully. We bought this to use with a Hunter fan. Our problem was that the fan has lights (as most ceiling fans do), but the house only has a single-pole, single switch box in the wall. So, effectively, you would only be able to turn the whole fan unit, lights included, on or off, but not the individual components. This was especially important because the ceiling fan we installed was for a nursery, and we wanted to be able to quietly turn the fan on or off without turning on a light, or using a loud clicking pull chain.

The receiver fits snuggly and nearly perfectly inside the mounting bracket for the ceiling fan. The instructions for wiring the remote in are fairly straightforward and easy to understand. For this part, and if you're installing a brand new fan, I would defer entirely to the instructions for the receiver and skip the instructions for the ceiling fan.

The wall remote is easy to install and operate. I was hoping to find a model with larger, more tactile and responsive buttons, something a little more stylish and less like one of those dime-a-dozen hand remotes that all look the same. Unfortunately, after digging around on Amazon, this is just...

Craig: I purchased this unit to replace a failing Harbor Breeze wall control that appeared very similar. I suspected they were actually the same product, so far as I can see with the exception of branding, packaging and an information sticker on the switch they are identical. The patent info molded into the back was a direct match even. I made sure the DIP switches matched and then dropped this in as a direct replacement without replacing the receiver unit in the fan, it works flawlessly.

I believe this is an older style fan control as I'm no longer seeing the Harbor Breeze or Hampton Bay (one is carried by Home Depot, the other by Lowes... forget which) branded units of this design in stores. Either Westinghouse is the manufacturer of these and sells them to be rebranded by the store brands or a different party is manufacturing them for all.

Yes, this control is not a "standalone" unit. It requires being wired in line with a load, the fan itself. Attempting to wire it without a load on the line will destroy it! This is though a suitable replacement for a mechanical wall control switch, although since it doesn't come with a separate wireless remote (some kits do) a cheaper...
