Hi! The HS200 can control the power state (On/Off) of one single pole circuit. If your fan has multiple control functions, it may require a special switch (or in many modern fan designs, it may come with a remote control). The HS200 cannot replace these multi-function switch types.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is an on/off type of switch that replaces a single pole (does 1 function and doesnt work for a power circuit that uses more than 1 switch like most hallway lights have a light switch at both ends to control a single light function). To replace a switch for a ceiling fan that controls power, fan, and light, it's a specific one that does all of the functions from the switch too. They usually have multiple buttons and a dial type button on them that are similar to the "dumb" switch design.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use one to switch on and switch off the fan & light, if you have a fan that is sold with a remote. Truthfully, you will need two to control the light and fan separately, If your original gang plate has two individual switches for light and fan separately - get two. Good luck!
