    Here are the basics with a fan. Black-hot for fan, blue-hot for light fixture, white is neutral for everything and green is ground. When you connect this unit to a remote receiver. Red from the ceiling usually means a 3 way switch also controlling te unit from another location. If you fan wires and remote wires do not match by color I wonder if you have the correct remote, did it come with the fan?
