I want to turn it on and off in 2 location, but the power and the ceiling lines are both in the same box along with the wires to the other 2 switchs

So I hear hear you saying you want a three way switch connected to the fan so you can control from two locations in the room, right? Unless you plan on lots of wiring its not going to happen easily. You need a third red traveler wire for a three way. Your best bet is to buy two remotes and set them both to the same frequency.

Does that mean that power is fed to a 3-gang switch box (1 switch for the fan/light, 2 other switches for other fixtures) with switched power and a neutral cable to the fan light?
