Batteries are NOT included

The device requires a battery to operate and although the product description states that batteries are included there weren't any in the box. I have returned four times because the batteries were NOT included as described. One of the blocks was also missing mounting bolts and two blocks were missing wire nuts. Terrible quality control.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • There are some nuances

will not work with Lowe's Harbor Breeze fans.

This remote will NOT control Lowes Harbor Breeze fans. There is an identical version called "TW30WH". That will work. I don't want to rate this item badly just because it doesn't work with my fans, it's not his fault but I can't speak for its quality because I can't use it and I'll be returning it with a different model.

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Clarity

Does not work with Lowe's Slinger v2.

I don't leave bad reviews but I installed this device with Lowe's Slinger v2 and I can't connect it to the fan. Installed the battery and went through the instructions, power goes through the switch but there is no communication between the switch and the fan. Contacted Fanimation and they said it would take 3-5 days to get a response. The review will be modified based on customer support feedback and resolution.

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Very easy to install in a junction box and provides fixed wall control.

Very easy to install in a junction box and allows for fixed wall fan control. Had to add it as a remote and then re-add the portable remote that came with the fan. Happy with this remote but a bit disappointed with the proprietary fan control. One with separate lighting and fan controls would have been easier to integrate with my home automation system (e.g. with Alexa). Fanimation lags behind in that they don't offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or any other open control API that allows them to integrate

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not sure

Excellent product - short term

Excellent product. Ease of installation. Looks great in the 3 gang switch we have in our living room. BUT it started behaving strangely about 8 months after installation. It all started when the light suddenly caught fire and then went out. I thought it was an isolated case or that there was a ghost in my house (not the case). Then it started turning on and staying on. A few weeks later the fan came on at FULL SPEED - we never ran at full speed because the wind was strong. Eventually it stopped

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not the best product
