How is this fan controlled? By a wall switch? Thank you.

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.

Hello! The fan is primarily controlled by the receiver module in the fan's canopy, which works on radio waves. In order to get the fan to work with a wall switch, you would need the WCS213 Wall Control by Minka. Otherwise, a normal switch would not turn it off or on. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

The way we have it installed there is a separate wired control knob that we installed that can be placed anywhere you want it. We also installed a thermostat that will cut the fan on at the desired temperature. We love the fan and we are able to move our air conditioned exterior wall room to an interior only wall room without any ductwork. It works great!

The fan would need to be direct wired to a wall switch. Then the wall switch needs to be converted to a wireless remote. Maybe research "Hunter 27187 Ceiling Fan & Light Remote Control".

Yes you can connect it to a switch, however you will need to order the correct wall switch that is compatitable with that fan! Contact us for that part number! :)

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.

the wall switch sends power to the fan, but you need to use the fan's remote to turn on the light. You can leave the light on, and then both the fan and light will activate via the wall switch.

It is hard wired to a wall switch. Great fan, super quite. We have had other fans in our other homes but you can't go wrong with the Hunter brand.

No the wall switch will only allow the fan to turn on or off. For all speed adjustments and for the light, it only works off the included remote control. We were told that the remote wall switch sold my Minka would control all functions but Mink doesn't make a wall controller for this fan. Great fan though. Super quiet.

I suspect any electrical switch (ON/OFF) will work, probably using a DC switch in particular. A power strip is something that could be adapted, but when OFF all other devices plunged into it would be off also. Most switches you could select would also require to be mounted. I think, short of a power strip dedicated solely for the fan, making a switch practical is a lot of effort.

This switch is a thermostat that turns on the fan at a set temperature and turns it off at another set temperature. Very simple hookup with clear wiring diagram.

As it was installed at my house, I haven't been able to use just the wall switch unfortunately. The remote works well though and it's easy to switch from low to high, etc. It's a nice fan either way.

This fan comes with a remote that has a wall mountable bracket. You can use it as a wall switch or remove it and use it remotely in the room. The remote controls light brightness levels as well as fan speed and on/off control. I just leave the builder installed wall switch in the "on" position and control it wth the remote.

There isn't a switch included on the fan. You can purchase a specific rheostat type switch or as I did just use a standard on/off switch.

The fan comes with a 5 speed electronic wall switch in the box. The switch is dsigned to go with this fan.

I replaced an existing fan that had a wall switch. The regular wall switch was replaced with a switch that is illuminated when "ON". This makes sure it's not turn off by mistake. There are time I like the fan off. (For instance when its extremely cold). As far as cleaning goes, I only need to vacuum the cover twice a year and the fan can be on or off.
