Speaking of ceiling fans, I'm having one installed this week. (50 yr
old house with no ceiling fixture, and the wall switch controls the
wall outlet, but they said it'd be easy to do). I was originally going
to have them wire it so I could control the light or speed separately
at the wall, then the guy doing the estimate suggested getting a
remote.

I bought this remote
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...tDisplay?store
Id=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100072901&N=10000003+5 0240
8+10043001 (dang - long link.

Take a gander at this some time.

On the HD site, the sku# is 191707).
It's a wall mounted remote that operates on 16 possible frequencies. I
figured that should reduce wiring issues. Then I got to thinking about
the "now it's cold and I want to turn it off" problem, and saw this
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...tDisplay?store
Id=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100071965&N=10000003+5 0240
8+10043001 (sku# 191691) which also operates on 16 frequencies.

So question - as long as I set them both to the same frequency, should
I be able to control the fan with either one? I "assumed" I should be
able to, but the sales dude wasn't sure. If it won't, I guess I'll
just use the handheld.

Thanks.
