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

0 8+10043001 (dang - long link.

Take a gander at this some time.

Ooops! Forgot something:-)

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

e
Id=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100071965&N=10000003+5 024
0 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.
