Hello Forum members
I purchased and installed five new Hampton Bay ceiling fans in my house. They all came with a remote control with the receiver in the base of the ceiling fans. I made sure that I set five different codes for each fan and remote pair.
I also purchased five wall mount (for single plex electrical box mount) remote controls model 9050H, also from Hampton Bay. My idea behind this was that I can turn on the light (within the fan) right at the door or even start the fan motor while the remote control is laying on the night stands in order to turn off the light and/or the fan.
I made sure that I selected the same code with the four dip-switches on the wall controllers as I previously selected on the remote controls and the receivers in the ceiling fans. And all the wall controller came also with a battery which I inserted.
I was convinced that all would work fine, but the wall controllers don't do a thing other than lighting that little LED on the controller itself whenever I push a button.
These Hamton Bay wall controllers I purchased came actually together with a receiver. However this receiver looks exactly the same as the receiver that came with the ceiling fans.
Do you think that I have to use the receiver that came with the wall controllers, but then, would the remote controls that came with the fans still work? I am lost and Home Depot can't help nor could they give me a phone number I could call to get an answer to my question.
Can you help me?
Many thanks in advance!
