 Unreliable Technology May 10, 2007
By cagey
I purchased this remote control when I purchased my Hunter ceiling fan/light a few years ago. It worked fine for about 2 years. Then the light bulb blew and the remote was dead. I called Hunter and they told me what had happened was the sensing unit attached to the fan blew and that in turn blew the light bulb, and they would send me a new unit. I installed the new unit and the dimmer for the light did not work properly. It would just make the light flash on and off. I called again and they said it was a bad unit and they would send me another. This time the remote would work the fan and light OK but now they would also come on spontaneously at random times. For example, I might go to bed on cold winter night and wake up with the fan blowing on me or the light on. Or, I might go away on vacation and come home to find the light and/or the fan on. Another call to Hunter resulted in their telling me just to change the unit's frequency code and the problem would go away. Well, six code changes later the problem still persisted. In addition, if the electricity went out, even for a few seconds, when it came back on, the remote sensor would automatically turn on the light. I gave up on Hunter, purchased a different brand universal type wireless remote and so far (2 weeks) it has worked flawlessly. This is not new technology. My garage door opener which uses the same technology does not open and close spontaneously or default to an open garage door if the electricity goes out. This is a very poor and defective technical execution of a rather simple product.

 Many dead spots, even near the fan! Mar 05, 2002
I give this remote two stars for ease of installation, otherwise I'll be looking for another remote. The unit may or may not work, depending on the location of the handheld transmitter in relation to the receiver. This is not an out-of-range problem because the receiver might not pick up the signal even if the transmitter is only a few inches away. At first I suspected a weak battery but this was not the culprit. I have spent several hours orienting the antenna wire in every possible way and retesting the unit, and there are still dead spots in the room where the transmitter will not work, even though it works very dependably in other spots. Reading some previous reviews praising this unit, it sounds as if the manufacturer has a quality control problem regarding consistency. But it seems that we all agree on the unit's lack of ability to remember the last brightness setting -- when you turn off the light, regardless of where the dimmer is set, turning the light on again brings it immediately to the full setting... not very comfortable on the eyes after waking up in the middle of the night. You can only "dim down" the light -- starting from full brightness and going gradually to off. There is no way to increase from dim to bright. Overall, I am very disappointed.

Problems Jan 02, 2006
By GeorgiaFan
This remote has issues. All you need to do is search the internet under Hunter and the product number and you can see for yourself all the reviews and websites discussing the issues. My lights on the fan turn on randomly in the middle of the night (kind of scary the first time it happened but now its just annoying) and the speeds will change randomly as well. Changing the frequency on the remote and the fan (which requires taking the fan down again) doesn't solve the problem either.

Chaotic control Jul 14, 2007
By PDC
Since the operative idea is to have control over the fan, having the fan go on in the middle of the night for no apparent reason is aggravating. Is it the neighbor's garage door opener? The government's time signal? Minor fluctuations in the quality of electricity coming into the house? Unknown. It's summer, and the weather is mild, yet the fan will come on spontaneously, as will the light, which is a sleep killer in the middle of the night. The only solution is to turn the fan off at the switch, which means that if you WANT the fan on during the night, you'll have to live with the light coming on at 3a.m.
Bad design, from an engineer who didn't field test the product.
By the way, it's the same with the Hunter fans that come with the remote control units.

Possessed Mar 10, 2008
By BPM
This item is possessed. Go over to epinions and read about it. Fan comes on and off at random times, mostly inconvenient times (while your trying to sleep). Changing the frequency dip switches involves unmounting the fan (thats right, getting up on a ladder and taking it down again). I actually have installed 100 fans in my life, and holding up a fan in one hand while changing a dip switch with the other is somewhat of a challenge :). Now that the dip switches are changed, VIOLA...still interference. I think I may try to cut the receiver wire this time to shorten the range, as it may be getting interference from down the street, or solar flares, or the gremlins that live in my attic.
