    Will my wall switch for a ceiling fan still work if I install a remote too?
    I have two wall switches, one of them with a slide adjuster for fan speed and the other for the light. I installed the ceiling fan with remote per manufacturer's instruction, but have a red wire left over. Does that mean the switch won't work for the fan and only the remote? Is there a way to connect them so both the switch and remote work?

    I have:
    White, red, black, and green supply wires.

    2 whites, a red, a blue, and a black from the receiver

    And a white, a blue, and a black from the fan.

    They are currently connected as such:
    Black supply to red receiver
    White supply to white (1) receiver
    Black receiver to black fan
    White (2) receiver to white fan
    Blue receiver to blue fan
    And grounded

    Thanks a bunch!
