    Best fan and light dimmer control
    I have to positive wires in order to control light and fan individually.
    My Q is about wall controls.
    I would like to use one control that handle dimmer for both fan and light.
    I see Lutron, it seems the best.
    What I like to know is what is CANOPY MODULE, my understand is that you can use fan/light with just one positive cable, but that isn't my scenario, I have two positive cables so I don't want to use CANOPY MODULE and pay for something I don't need.

    Also, do you know another dimmer that turn on/off with a preset dimmer level?

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    So you currently have two wall switches that control the fan and light and you want one remote to handle both, right?

    One control but do you want the fan and light always on/off together or do you want to control them separately? What color are your wires and where do you live?

    Ok, he's just asking for a 3 wire single gang fan/wire switch of the hard wired variety. Any hardware store should have something. What stores are near you?
