I know this topic has been covered a million times and full control of a ceiling fan is not easily accomplished. Anyway, here is what I am trying to do...
I have two Hampton Bay remote control ceiling fans, both are the same model. Each fan has separate upper and lower lights. Both fans are wired without a switch so full control is currently done only with the remotes. I ordered 2 PCS-FMD2-4 from AO (they will be here tomorrow!) to control the lights - one channel for each light. Now there is the fan... Since I can not find a simple way to control fan speeds without a hum I am resorting to using the remote that came with it. My question is, is there any way to still use the light buttons on the remote along with the UPB modules? For example if the top light is off via UPB can I turn it on with the fan remote? I am thinking no, but figured I would ask anyway!
BTW, this is the only source of light in both rooms so I want to be able to control them with my Oiie.
Thanks,
-Jeff
edit: I just re-read my post and was thinking there is no way this will work. If the remote was used to turn the light off there is no way for it to be turned back on via UPB.
