I recently installed a nice looking Hunter fan/light. It came with a remote control transmitter/receiver in the box. It works fine, except that the fan and light come on by themselves randomly at all hours of the day and night. At first I thought perhaps one of my neighbors in my condo has a Hunter ceiling fan also and was on the same transmit/receive code, so I changed the code using the jumpers in the receiver and remote. This made sense, as I just left it at the default setting when I initially installed it (like probably 90% of the other morons out there like me do). Anyway, that didn't stop the random on/off activity. After doing a little research on line, I discovered that this seems to be a common problem with Hunter fan remotes, and changing codes does not solve the problem. So, its likely a buggy receiver hardware design, or electromagnetic interference from aircraft, garage door openers, who knows... Hunter doesn't seem to be much help except to tell you to change codes (which is a huge pain since the fan is mounted on a tall ceiling, and its difficult to stuff ii all back in the fan canopy afterwards.
So, I'm looking for a reliable fan/light replacement remote kit that, in addition to the standard on/off/speed controls, has motor reverse, and will also dim the LED lights (which are built in to the fan/light unit, not LED screw in bulbs). I've looked around at various remote kits online, but its not always clear if they will work with LEDs (much less dim them) or if they have the motor reverse function built in to the remote (not all have it). So, I thought I would check in here to see if someone has been through this before and has some good recommendations for me. Thanks in advance.
