\ With X10 you'd put receivers up at the fans, and put a light switch
to send the code to the receiver in the wall plate. No rewiring.

Other solutions will be similar. At worst, you'd have a surface mounted
lightswitch.

In Googling a bit, it seems that the wireless receiver that attaches
to the fan itself is custom to each brand/line of fan. Each receiver
must adapt to the Two ceiling fan/light assys. Which X10-like
modules are capable of this? And remember his existing wiring
is a switch via 2 wires to a fan/light (times 2 fans)

a wall mounted dimmer for the two light fixtures and a
wall mounted fan controller for the two fans are readily
available and would not have to be custom for Anthony's
brand of fan. yes he would have to run two lengths of
14-2 romax between the two ceiling fans, but he did mention
a rewiring project in his post.

wall
dimmer 2wire 4 lights 2wire 4 lights

wall
fan
control 2wire fan 2 wire fan

AZ, what specific hardware would you use to do this
wirelessly? and at what cost? remember the fan receivers
must mate with Anthony's 2 ceiling fans

thanks,
