    Hampton Bay Receiver installation is confusing
    My new outdoor ceiling fan has a receiver that has 2 blacks and 1 green. The black wires both have tags on them that say they shouldn't be attached to the neutral white. The switch that used to operate a ceiling light has a switch with the traditional white and black. I'm stumped. I have attached a diagram of my receptacle. Thanks for your help. Paul

    You're talking about the wall control, not a receiver.

    Connect it to the two wires that were previously connected to your old wall switch. If the control doesn't operate properly, reverse the two wires. You should be fine.

    I looked at your diagram but didn't understand it.
