Westinghouse Ceiling Fan and Light Remote Control

Perfect replacement for damaged remote

Good overall. I would t say it’s easy to install. We tripped up over a couple of wrong wire coupling. The internal part of the remote that lives mounted on the ceiling fan MAY NOT FIT INSIDE HIDDEN as installations suggest and indicate to do. We had to leave it out and can be seen and not very attractive.

I installed this with a Westinghouse 7214100 Harmony Two-Light 48-Inch Two-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Opal Frosted Glass and have been absolutely pleased with it. Since the instructions are generic, it was hard figuring out where exactly to place the receiver because everything is so tight in the hub connecting to the down rod. I almost gave up but finally found a spot that barely fit the receiver directly above the drop down rod itself. Range is good on the remote and this kit prevents me from having to try and reach up to grab a chain that would barely be in reach.

The device works, will need two people to install though I installed it by myself (which anything with fan installation is a huge pain in the rear no matter how you swing it), and does the job. I recommend you set your fan to Max fan speed with the light on before you switch to using them this only being it will control all of that for you. Now for the interesting stuff. I don't know how the heck they expect this module to fit inside the fan cover above the downrod. It is huge, about 4/5 the size of a dollar bill and a little thick. I'm sure we could have come up with better technology than this that had a smaller form factor, TBH. Secondly, the way they numbered the fan speeds is a little weird, i.e. 3 is low and one is high speed. Not a huge issue, but kind of backwards if you think about it. The remote would be nice to have some sort of lighting on it as well so you can see it in the dark, even if it had one small LED that didn't draw a bunch of power out of the batteries. It's a little bit spendy but not too bad and if you have a home with a fan that does not have a separate fan switch, this is convenient versus wiring an entire circuit in through your attic, especially if you are on three wire wiring versus four wire that has a load wire involved. I may still try to find a different fan in the future because I just have this thing hanging from its wires tight against the ceiling as I could get it but it's a bit of an eyesore. The instructions are pretty straightforward, but a complete novice to electrical stuff should seek professional assistance, in my opinion. Finally, I reiterate there is no way it will fit inside the finishing cover above the downrod / fan assembly to be out of sight aesthetically...unless your fan has a very large finishing cover (most of what I've seen do not). I would suggest thinking on it a little bit before buying it unless you find a way to tuck it up in the ceiling somehow.

Works amazing! Have a house built in the 60s and all of our fans are set up on a single switch so to turn the light off and on and keep the fan on, we always had to walk into the room and pull the string. Purchased this for a room with switches on the opposite sides of the room that wouldn't accommodate the built in wall control. As per another person posted, I mounted the holder by putting the top screw from the wall switch plate into the bottom hole of the bracket and works like a charm! I will definitely be getting one for the other switch on the wall :-) as for the comments I've seen about the receiver being too big, it is the standard size of receiver and no, it will not work with all style ceiling fans. The wider the base the better, and if you have the resources, you can always put it above the ceiling, but that's a lot more work than I think most people are willing to do. I have been using it for about 4 months now without any issues with the signal as well. Great product!

The fan is up. The controller works perfectly and the fan and light run smoothly. A little tricky getting it to fit but we installed a fan with a remote control before . So we are a bit seasoned.

I ordered a new unit to go with a new fan. I received a "visually inspected" refurbished unit with an installed off-brand 9v battery. That "saved" me $13. The battery was dead, so I bought a new one (-$5). With the old battery the indicator lights didn't come on; with the new one, they did. I guess the visual inspectors don't use their thumbs. Once installed in the fan, the unit did not work. Now, I have to call my installer to come back (-$65 trip charge) and install a new remote control unit (-$ hourly rate). Reject immediately is you receive an unrequested, "visually inspected", refurbished unit. (I wonder how many times Amazon has sent this one back out?).

We had a two other controllers for our porch fan and both had died and were much more expesive than this one. We have had one like this in our bedroom for 8 years so we were glad to find this one and it has been doing GREAT! We bring the remote in the house during winter and back out in the spring. The control unit in the fan does great through "Freeze/thaw" each year.They say you get what you pay for but in this case, it is less expensive and a much better product.

Control remoto que No requirió nada de instalación, funciona perfecto solo le puse la pila y funcionó con mi abanico de techo

I installed the controller myself in 10 minutes in an old fixture where the old remote didn't work any longer. Instructions are simple. You don't need an electrician for this. Suggestion: If you have several of these remote controlled ceiling light/fans, clearly mark each remote to indicate which light they are controlling. Remember it is by radio signals. If you take a remote into another room it will still control the light fixture it is paired with. If you mix them up you may think the battery is dead, while someone else thinks they have a ghost in their room playing with the light fixture.

Funciona a la perfección, sólo que tiene invertidas las velocidades

works well, just a little bit difficult to install in a small space,

Excelente producto, lo use para el westinghouse harmony que tiene 2 aspas, este ventilador tiene 4 velocidades y el Control solo tiene para 3 velocidades así que la velocidad más alta no funciona pero la verdad nunca la ocupé ya que si es mucha potencia, el control si tiene pila y fácil de instalar.
