Default Ceiling fan with light

"Doug" wrote in
:

I have a ceiling fan with a light that has 2 separate wall switches
... one works the fan (on/off) and the other works the lights
(on/off). There are no other switches. Well there is a draw string
you can pull on, that only works the fan speeds.

I presume these wall switches are each just 2 way switches? I ask
because I may want to put a timer on just the light switch without
affecting the fan switch. Am I correct?


When we built this house, the electrician set up each room in a similar
manner. Don't know what type switches, but it was and is still
confusing. All the fans have a remote control for both the light and
fan, so we ended up keeping both wall switches on all the time and used
the remote to turn light and fan on/off as well as dim the light and
change fan speed - whichis basically whay I told him I wanted
initially.
