    Harbor breeze fans
    It came with a remote.

    I purchased a spare remote, and a wall unit.

    The thing is, even though the dip switches are ALL set EXACTLY the same, I can never get more than ONE of the controls to work! If I install the transmitter from the original remote, that one works, if I install the transmitter from the wall unit, that one works, and if I install the transmitter from the "new" remote, THE WALL UNIT WORKS BUT NOT THE NEW REMOTE!

    I'm extremely confuzzled at this point, especially since the two remotes are 100% identical, right down to the most intricate stampings and stickers on the plastic. They have the same FCC ID, too

    No more than one ever works at one time.

    Is there something I'm missing, or is it just impossible to have more than one remote control this fan? It's driving me batty. All I really want is to have the wall control and remote both work, so I don't have to fumble around in the dark to find the remote when I come into the room at night after the remote was used to turn off the light during the daytime.

    I did see they sold a "combo" for 50 bucks - a wall unit, a remote, and 1 transmitter - I guess I have to break down and buy that? That's a bitter pill to swallow, since I spent less than that on the WHOLE FAN originally.

    BTW, if anyone from ceiling fans n' more sees this, I'm not a spammer - please approve me to post on your message board!

    Thanks to anyone who can help![/QUOTE]
