Default porch fan need on/off switch?

wrote:
I am installing a new porch fan. The romex to the box in the ceiling
connects directly to another box in the attic and from there to the
main panel. All connections are weather protected.
I plan to put a remote control assembly above the ceiling, so there
will not be anon/off swich to the fan other than the remote 'clicker'.
Is it acceptable to have the 'clicker' on/off remote (located inside
the house) as the only means to turn the fan on/off, other than at the
main breaker?

Can't answer your code question, but I guess I'm showing my age 'cause
I'd think a pull chain switch on the fan motor would be simpler.

Unless of course you can't easily install such a switch on the existing
fan or you're seeking security against unauthorized folks controlling
the fan. G
