I have two wall switches, one of them with a slide adjuster for fan speed and the other for the light. I installed the ceiling fan with remote per manufacturer's instruction, but have a red wire left over. Does that mean the switch won't work for the fan and only the remote? Is there a way to connect them so both the switch and remote work?

I have:
White, red, black, and green supply wires.

2 whites, a red, a blue, and a black from the receiver

And a white, a blue, and a black from the fan.

They are currently connected as such:
Black supply to red receiver
White supply to white (1) receiver
Black receiver to black fan
White (2) receiver to white fan
Blue receiver to blue fan
And grounded

Thanks a bunch!
