Hello all. (san diego Ca)
Had a quick question,I installed a whole house fan and also bought a universal remote for ceiling fans.My goal is to hook the remote up (if possible )to the fan so I can use that instead of having the ugly brass wire hanging down form the vent.
The fan has two speeds. (wires from fan are black/white and ground) I noticed the remote also has those wires and maybe a blue or red one ( I would have to check) If I have to to I can use just one speed with the whole house fan (just slow or hard ) if the remote wouldn't operate both speeds for some reason.
Also what would I do..just connect the two black wires from the fan motor and the black wire from the remote (labeled fan motor) and so on for the rest,and then run a 14/2 or 12/2 (which would be best for this) wire over to a box in the attic and splice in ?? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
J
