[quote=Anonymous]Yes, kind of true. The remote unit is often sized to fit inside a standard size switch box. There is a remote receiver that is installed in the wall cavity above the fan. I didn't have room for that in one case (vaulted ceiling, expensive existing trim), so I wired one of my ceiling fans to two different wall switches: A fan switch and a light switch. That works fine, except you're stuck with maximum fan speed when "on". I therefore tried a dimmer switch for the fan to control speed, but this introduced an electronic hum. They really are only designed to run quietly at the pre-engineered low, medium, and high settings. So I went back to the on/off switch with that fan.[/quote]
