Thanks for the video! Great tip on making sure the fan is set to high speed with light on from the switches to ensure the remote control functions work correctly.
If watched so many videos about that but this one is the best!! Thank you
My wife and I sometimes prefer to shut off the fan/lights entirely via the wall switch when exiting the room. If you use the red “house” wire and cap the black “house” wire you can do this. But as this gentleman said, the receiver needs power so obviously it won’t work until you turn the switch back on. We have a fan in a different room that works this way so that’s just how we prefer it.
extremely helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Well done
thanks!
Do you happen to have a video with how to install the wireless wall switch for Hampton Bay?
Thank you, you are saving lives…well, at least marriages. :)
ha! Happy to help!
You say these are not compatible with fans with "built in receivers". Does that mean fans with the remote control units that look like these? If not, do you remove the old remove unit from the canopy when you install this (or even try to fit this in the space for the old one?)?
Hi Thomas - When we say built-in receivers, we're mainly taking about DC motor fans or fan that have the receivers built-in to the motor housing. If you fan has a receiver like the one included, you can replace the original receiver with the one included with the new remote.
How do I ensure proper remote control settings if everything is new? I purchased this universal remote and a new ceiling fan (Hampton Bay Malone 54”). You stated before turning the power off we are to turn the fan’s light on and set the fan speed to high using the pull chains. With the power shut down for removal of the old fan, I’m not sure what steps should be taken next since there won’t be a point where I’ll be able to use the new fan’s pull chains until all the wiring is completed and the power is turned back on. So, how do I ensure proper remote control settings?
Once everything is set up and connected with the new fan, refer to your fan's manual regarding speed settings. If the manual says to pull the chain once for high speed, you should be able to pull the chain once (that will set it to high speed even though the power is off) and then use the remote to control the fan. If the manual states to pull the chain 3 times, then do that before using the remote. Same with the light. Alternatively, once everything is connected, you can set the remote to high speed and then pull the pull chain until it reaches high speed.
Cool product + video! Do you have any idea where I can get a hold of it in Canada? I cant seem to find it in my local HD. Where did you get this?
Thanks for watching. Currently, this item is only available in the US. It may become available in Canada soon.

helpful video, but I skipped taking down fan, taking off mount bracket, didn't put rubber pads, didn't disconnect any ground wires. did everything else, didn't have to put fan back on mount and didnt have to worry about grounds, still connected. then everything worked. so are the rubber pads really necessary? my fan is on a beam, and it has space for antenna without spacing... so am I good?
sounds like you're good to go. The rubber pads are only necessary to make space for the WiFi antenna between the canopy and ceiling.
Great Video! Do you know what frequency it uses?
the receiver uses 430Mhz frequency and the wifi network must be a 2.4 Ghz network.
just installed a hamilton bay fan and remote works great but when i want to turn the lights using the wall switch it has a 5 second delay and the lights turn on how can i fix this delay i want them to turn on when i turn on the switch
The delay is completely normal. If you want immediate response for the light, we would recommend connecting the receiver directly to the house wiring and not using a switch. When using a switch, there will be a delay between turning the switch on and the light coming on.
I have a black green white copper and a red wire coming out of my ceiling I can’t figure out where the red wire goes and there’s nothing in the manual about it. Can you help? Thanks
We are not licensed electricians and you should contact a licensed electrician for wiring concerns, but... We would suggest just capping the red wire. Typically, the red wire is a switch wire that can be used instead of the house black wire. For a smart remote to work and retain its smart features, it needs to have a constant power supply which is why we would not recommend using this remote with a switch.
@@ceilingfans101 thank you
Can this remote be used in a fan but without using the Wi-Fi connection function on it? 🤔
Yes, the fan will operate like a standard remote if its not connected to WiFi.
I have a black, copper, white, and red coming from my ceiling. And this kit comes with a red wire, and a white wire to connect it to instead of black and white.
The receiver red wire (labelled AC IN L) should connect to the house black wire and you should just cap off the house red wire.
@@ceilingfans101 thank you+
Where do you find your reciever
The receiver is typically installed in the canopy of the fan.
Mine doesn't have a black wire on the receiver, it's got a red?
The power wire can be either black or red. Since you have a red wire, that can be connected to the house power wire.
how to install batteries in this remote
The battery compartment cover slides off the back remote. See the 2:53 mark in the video.
My fan doesn’t have a bare copper house wire should I still connect the other green ones?
Yes. If the house doesn't have a bare copper wire, that's ok.
@@ceilingfans101 Thank you!

Sorry I have another concern so I connected the hubspace, the fan, and the house wires exactly like you did but it didn’t work. Once I took the hubspace out I connected it like normal and it did work. Do I maybe need to strip the hubspace wires a bit more or return it and get a new one?
@@albertoarosbuelna what fan are you installing this in? Is it a pull chain fan? if so, the pull chains need to be set to high speed and the light set to on using the pull chains prior to using the remote.
@@ceilingfans101 Okay I’ll try it again.
😂How smart is this fan controller if you need a receiver ? I'm trying to find a controller that will be universal for Hampton Bay fans.
The Smart term refers to the ability to inetgrate with Alexa or Google devices as well as smart devices like phones or tablets. Any universal remote will include a receiver that must be installed in the fan. The receiver is needed for the remote to communicate with and control the fan.
Is it supposed to make a ticking noise when i change the fan speed ? It occasionally makes two ticking sounds when changing fan speeds but mainly only happens once. It doesn’t do it with the light, only when turning the fan on and off and changing the fan speed. I bought mine from amazon and installed it onto my fan. Could this be an issue with my wiring?
An audible click sound when changing speeds is normal.
@@ceilingfans101 Thanks. Thought I messed something up.
