I have two Hampton Bay Windward III ceiling fans which need to be operating in the same direction of rotation. I have one remote control that operates both fans and only one switch that kills power to both fans.The remote control can reverse direction of both fans. For some unknown reason the fans are rotating in opposite directions and reversing them still has them going in opposite directions. To reverse one fan I have to disconnect the wires on one fan and reverse the other fan with the remote control. Since this has happened a few times I'm looking for an easier way to reverse one fan. Is that possible?
What usually gets them "out of sync", is 1 receiving the signal and the other not receiving
signal. just back away far enough to have 1 receive the other out of range will restore.
Ceilingfan, removing the wire from 1 fan does solve the problem til it happens agaim, I am lazy, I would rather Move the handheld remote, than disconnect wire.
I am "assuming" handheld, you may be assuming wired in unit.
I have no reason to believe I guessed correct. The seperate ON/OFF switch gives me the idea it is handheld.
If it is not hand held, then maybe a pull switch on 1 fan to remove power to get "in sync again, then pull chain again.
A small switch added to remote tied in to a DIP switch, would allow 2 codes from 1 remote.
Because if a handheld remote is just out of range of 1, it will throw out of sync. Then you just have to repeat again and they will be back in sync.
If both receivers ALWAYS received the transmitted signal. this would not be an issue.
