I am currently remodeling my home and am coming across a major problem that NO ONE seems to have an answer for.

I have two ceiling fans that operate via remote control. The rest of the ones in my home are the popular "pull down" chains - and those work prefectly with the new fan/light dimmers that I installed.

The question I have is this: are the two remote control ceiling fans going to work well with the new fan/light dimmers that I plan on installing? One guy at Lowes told me "no" another guy at Home Depot told me "yes". I really want all the rooms that have ceiling fans to have these fan/light dimmers, as they are really convenient. I know that you have to install some kind of remote adapter (comes include in the fan/light dimmer package) to each ceiling fan in order for the one switch to operate both the light and the fan, but how will it operate the speed of the remote control fan? Do I have to put it on full speed and brightest light setting in order to have it "memorized" before I install the dimmer in order to control it accordingly?

Please help!!!!

If it can't be bypassed or eleminated, sounds like it might work.
I would make sure if you turn off breaker, and then back on, it still goes to full bright on light, and full speed on fan. then try. good luck.

Ok, there are two ways they would work with the remote fans:

1. If the remote fans also have pullchains. Then, you can remote the remote receivers and install the receivers for the fan/light "dimmers".

2. If the fan/light "dimmers" are also RF (sounds like they are) you can try setting them to the same frequency as the remotes. You would then NOT install the receivers (remote adaptors) in these fans, as you would be already using the existing receivers.
