It works. Best lighting and ceiling fans

Works as intended. It would be nice if the buttons were a bit bigger. I know you can fit a lot on a small notepad, but I'm sure there's a better way.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Works well, hard to find ceiling fan speed setting numbers

Works well although hard to find ceiling fan speed setting numbers at night and on/off switch on top. The pad should light up when touched so you can see the numbers to adjust the speed setting. Love it but wouldn't buy another one unless they upgrade to night views.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Other

Not really, but the controls work perfectly.

I wish it had a screwless lid like the Lutron Claro lid. (I'll be using a Lutron overlay.) EDIT: The screw holes on the cover are non-standard. Keep the original screws if you want to use a different fairing. Also, it's a pity it doesn't have screw terminals, I don't like stranded wires on solid wires with wire nuts.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Damaged

My problems solved. Easy installation. Looks great.

This wall switch was surprisingly easy to install. It works like a remote control so there is no need to plug it in the old way to control the fan and lights. You connect it to a circuit that powers the fan and light combo, and the fan speed and dimming of the light are controlled via buttons and sent to a receiver in the fan. It looks like a remote control but no one can lose it as it is wall mounted. Make sure you have purchased the correct wall remote control for your Minka fan model.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Unstable performance

Unstable performance. Sometimes it works with one click. Sometimes it takes a few clicks, sometimes not at all. All buttons work the same way. I had to use a portable remote to control the fan when that wall remote failed and to "reset" that wall remote. Very disappointed. I would have sent it back but I already threw away the packaging. Update: I bought an identical replacement (WC400). This works perfectly. Probably the first time I encountered a defective block. Highly recommended. The onlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust surface
Cons
  • I'll write later

As above. It works out. You may have to press the top two buttons multiple times (do they seem to do the same thing?) for the program to complete its task. I don't know how to control the dimming, it seems to be doing its job. The weird round control knobs control the fan pretty well, all the different stages/speeds. Overall it seems like a cheap, ugly, poorly designed product (dimming? off? it will do the trick, I'm just not trying to use dimmer modes!), but it works well enough for me, I'mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality assembly
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

No more lost remotes

Very glad I found it. We have a rental and the remotes get lost or even just removed from the entrance of the room making it difficult to turn on the lights. Not anymore, they attach to the light switch box so the light can always be on. I docked the star for several reasons. First they downsized the remote to fit in the light switch box which is fine but the writing on the buttons is so small and the colors don't contrast well so you have to look very closely at the buttons to know what you do

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not the best

him. We made the mistake of buying a WC400 controller for our MinkaAire Sleek fan. This turned out to be the wrong device as the fan and light were erratic and never worked like the remote. At first I thought the device was bad until I actually searched the web for details. Although the wall mounted controls look the same, they **NOT** work properly with all MinkaAire fans. Now I've seen that the WC300, WC400, WC500, WC600 and WC1000 look the same with little or no explanation of which unitsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • very expensive
