RF Control and Ceiling Fans
Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 12:39 pm
I'm a new Home Automation convert. I recently installed 10+ dimmers and switches to use with my Indigo setup, and I'm moving on to thermostats and garage door control next. Before I move on from lights tho...
2 of my lights are ONLY controlled via RF ceiling fan remote controls (like Hampton Bay). What's the easiest way to control these lights without having to install a new wireless receiver in the ceiling fan? I've considered installing a switch to control power to the fans/light but I'm only really interested in controlling the lights on the fan. I'm not too concerned about controlling the speed of the fans themselves. We typically leave the fans on low for air circulation while we're not home (for the pets) unless we're on vacation.
