    Ceiling Fan Remote with reverse
    I bought a Minka Aire ceiling fan with a wall remote, it does not have a remote reverse capability. Is there a remote that can be used with this fan so that it can be reversed remotely?

    You want to reverse the rotation of the blades? O.o

    Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a fan? Or am I reading it wrong..


    Actually, I didn't know you COULD reverse the rotation lol

    I doubt many manufactures are going to put reverse on the remote control unit since it only needs changed twice a year. Blows down in summer and up in the winter.

    Actually many remotes have a reverse button but it is usually quite small compared to the light/fan buttons. Are you sure there is no slide switch on the side of the motor housing?

    If there is a reverse button on the fan then it cannot be reversed from the remote. If there is no reverse button on the remote it must be on the fan somewhere.
