Westinghouse has made a great little remote here that works as promised. However the description on their own web site neglects to mention the need to install an electronic module inside the fan. They also don't state which fan models (In their own Line) this module will not fit. We bought a Ceiling hugger model and there was no room indide the fan for the module, it had to be located in the junction box above the fan. So while the fan control works great and as described there might be a bit of work involved wiring and installing the communications module.

I purchased two of these remotes to go with two recently purchased Westinghouse fans thinking they would be easily compatible, not the case. In both cases the sensor was too big to fit in the housing unit of the fan and I was unable to use them. The directions alternate installation suggestion of on top the motor housing doesn't even seem feasible since you would then have wires exposed, not a very classy look. I am working on returning mine for a refund.

I installed this unit with no issues on the Westinghouse Comet fan, wiring was simple. It took a few minutes to figure out how to mount it with the fan but after moving wires around I was able to make it fit nicely without much force.

Only thing I don't like about this is the remote is much larger than I would have thought it was in the picture, the remote itself is huge even for someone with large hands. I posted a picture of it on the product page.

We bought this to work with our patio fan/ light. The Westinghouse 7861920 Oasis 48-Inch Ceiling Fan. Not only was the hand remote huge ( fit oddly in my hand) compared to the one we have in our house from Hampton Bay, But the piece that attaches to the fan was WAY too big to fit in it. DIsappointed that it will not work. Especially because of the $40.00 dollars we spent on it. It is getting returned as we speak.

Great so I dont have to reach to turn on and off. Put on my wall for easy access.

Bought this to replace a unit (the control unit) that had failed. Did not need to replace the receiver in the fan, so just set the switches, added batteries, and it worked just fine.

I bought this small fan for our guest room which is also quite a small room. I paid to have it installed and because of the high noise level paid to have it taken out later that week. I can only say that this fan is a piece of junk - very little air movement but especially the loud sound - much like a train off in the distance. It could be heard in the adjoining bedroom as well.
