4.0 out of 5 stars RC210 or RC212?, April 16, 2011

This review is from: Minka-Aire RC212 Hand Held 3-Speed Fan Forward/Reverse & Up/Down Light Dimmer (w/ Wall Holster)

When purchasing a remote, I did some research on the Minke Aire website. I reviewed the remotes, the product manual for my ceiling fan (2 possible model numbers) and was still stumped about which remote to use. After scouring the internet, I found some helpful information and I thought I would share.

Minka Aire has been updating their fan controls. The RC212 has replaced the RC210. These new controls are not compatible with older receivers and transmitters. This may cause some confusion when you are ordering supplemental controls for your existing fans. To help distinguish the two types, here are some helpful guidelines:

NEW= RC212
OLD= RC210

* Receivers (in canopy)
NEW green in color, NO switches.
OLD Black in color, 4 dip switches to set the channel.

* Transmitters (wall or hand held remote)
NEW Green light at the top of the control, 8 dip switches located in battery compartment (with a green sticker on the battery cover) or on side of wall control.
OLD Red light on top of the control, 4 dip switches located in the battery compartment or on side of wall control.

And as far as my review of the product goes, easy installation but glow in the dark buttons would be a great feature on the remote in the future.

I purchased this remote for a Minka Aire Fan and was the best addition to the Minka Aire experience. I do think it is a bit pricy (for just a remote) however it enhances the functionality of the Fan as my switch is quite far from my bed. I would have given it a 4.5 Star but there was no option to. I wish the remote was a little smaller and auto lite for night time use. You can't see or feel the buttons on the remote in the dark. Great product over all.

I purchased this remote control to go with a Minka-Aire Napoli fan. I am quite happy with its ease of use and the button layout is good enough that I have no problems operating the control in the dark (which is an important consideration given that the remote has no backlight).

I judge the price of the remote to be a bit high for its features especially since it has no backlight. But with that said, I am glad that I bought it.
