Adding remote to existing ceiling fan

9 years ago

Hey all --

I would like to add a remote to an existing ceiling fan in my house. The ceiling fan is a Hampton Bay MV52V-WH (pull chain, no lights) and it is wired to a Casablanca Inteli-Touch W-32 Wall Control.

It is unclear what my options are -- there are these remote control kits (such as http://amzn.com/B001I1M95E) but I was wondering if there were other solutions? Is it possible that the fan or control box already supports remotes and all I have to do is buy the right one?

Thanks for any help!

You need to buy an add on transmitter and receiver. The receiver in installed in the canopy of the fan and wired into the incoming power and the outgoing light and fan wires (fan only in your situation).
