I need to install a remote control ceiling fan. HD has unit but the
controls are add on and make wiring a nuisance.
Does any manufacturer make these units with a built in controller instead of
add on?
Thank you,
Seamus J. Wilson

Yes they do make them with the integraged controller. The bad side is
that the remote electronics replace the regular switches so if it
breaks you have no more fan.

Why do you find it to be a nuisance to install the add-on unit? It
takes about 30 more seconds to hook up the three additional wires and
slide the controller in the housing.

Thank you for the kind reply.
It is for a new house and existing ready box. No room for the receiver in
box and inaccessible for new hardware.

The receiver does not need to go in the box. They are designed to fit
in to the canopy area of the fan sliding between the "ball" that the
fan hangs on and the mounting bracket. All you have to do is slide it
in place and then slip the canopy up over it.

Unfortunately the receiver is far too big to fit in the canopy.
