    Hampton Bay wiring
    Hampton bay fan has white/black wires and green ground.
    Electrical box has white/black/and red and copper ground.
    What do I do with the red wire?
    Even though switch is turned off at wall, when I connected black to black the fan comes on and stays on!
    It does come with a remote.

    Either leave it like it is and control only with the remote.. . Or if you want control from the wall switch as well, wire the fan's black to the red and cap off the house black.
