|
|
| I have a ceiling fan/light fixture that is wired to one switch (one hot and neutral line), so the fan and light can not be controlled independently. The fan/light documentation states not to use a solid state fan speed control, as it will damage the fan electronics. The light is halogen, so it may have a power supply?? My question: Are there X10 compatible appliance switches that I could wire two of at the fan box (in ceiling) to independently switch the fan and light on and off? Light dimmer and fan speed control is not needed. |

If you can get two XPFM modules in the box that will control both.

This item does require 3 wires, hot, load and neutral. That should not be a problem as it will be the switch box. Here is a wiring image for a example:
Please let me know if you have any questions. |
