I want to use my light/fan (Harbor Breeze) without the remote. I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. I would prefer to not have to buy a new light/fan. I want to be able to walk in the room and hit the light switch on the wall and have my light come on, without having to look for the remote. Any suggestions

I believe that you need to go inside the canopy and remove the remote.

Then you need to make sure that the switch is still properly wired into the light pack.
