QIACHIP Universal Ceiling Fan and Lights Wireless Remote Control Kit 3-in-1 Ceiling Fan Light 4 Timing & 3 Speed Wireless Remote Control and Receiver Kits for Ceiling Fan Lamp

This remote is a big convenience for my existing ceiling fan. If you are handy with basic wiring it is straightforward to install, and I recommend using lever connectors (like Wago connectors) for quick and secure connections. Once installed, just remember to keep the original fan switch set to HIGH and then you can remove the old pull chain for completely remote operation. Highly recommended.

So yeah....super pleased and happy with this purchase. The receiver part that goes into your ceiling fans shroud is the right size. Tiny. It connects with minimal effort and works VERY well. The problem I've always had with these things is always the crappy remote and the even crappier remote sensor in the receiver. This one however works with an rf signal instead of the old line of sight infrared type or whatever. Not once have I pressed a remote button that the fan disnt respond to. Every single time I press a button it simply works with no problem. Radio frequency (RF) is so much better than the older styles of these things. Your local big box building supply stores want upwards of $30-$40 for these remote control units and don't work nearly as well. I spent about $14 on this one and when the time comes to install another into one of my fans i know for sure I'll be buying another one of these. It works perfectly. Always.

I have a few of the Hunter brand remote fan kits that I bought in bulk from an auction site that just barely work. The range on this unit is suprisingly good for the price and it functions as designed. The Hunter ones I have are constructed better, have an LCD display that shows ambiet temperature, fan speed and light output display and better button layout but the range is often limited to 2 feet or less and required VERY firm button presses to activate. This remote on the other hand, has much better range, a smaller receiver and responsive remote but I feel it lacks the heft and feel of quality construction. Admittedly, I didn't read the instructions and desoldered the speaker from the circuit board before finding out that it can be disabled from the remote. Oh well, the remote works fine with the speaker removed, only now I've voided warranty.

I haven't installed this one yet, but is the second controller I've replaced with the QIACHIP. The first QIACHIP I installed is still functioning just fine. These come with two AAA batteries, unlike the weird batteries that were in the original remote.

Works as expected. Device is a little bulkier than other. May not fit fan with small base.

The buttons can be delayed by a second, which is no big deal. You know it’s working because it will make a quiet beep noise.

Upgraded the fans in the house and decided to add this to the living room. Love this!! the timer feature is great for these, set it for a few hours and not worry about forgetting to turn off. FYI the lights get controlled by this but if you use the wall switch it will still over ride this, ( IE if you leave the switch on the wall on you use the remote as you wish, but if you want to use the wall switch to turn it off when you leave the room it will turn it off, then when you reenter the room, the wall switch can be used to turn it on. so you dont have to carry the remote in or out of the room as you enter or exit. andif you cant find the remote you're not stuck" )

This was a bit difficult to rate. I have 2 identical wireless remote controlled fans (on different levels) that run on the same frequency, which can not be changed. So I can not use one remote without it affecting both fans. I purchased this receiver and remote in hopes of fixing that issue. Unfortunately, this universal remote and receiver also run on that same frequency. Which also can not be changed. If you have a singular wireless remote controlled fan and need to replace a failed receiver or remote, this is for you. Or if your fans equipped with dip switches to change frequencies like a garage door opener with wireless entry pad would have for example, then this set up would also work for you. But if your like me and have multiple fans running off the same frequencies with no way to change the frequencies, this isn't for you and will not solve your problem.

I first bought one of these to make sure it would work and was compatible with the fan/light I installed for my kids, and was pleased enough with it that I bought a second one for the fan/light in my other kid's room! Having/leaving the handheld RF remote on my kids' nightstand is a great convenience, and does away with the need for pull chains. The controller also turns on the light if it loses power and then power is restored, so this allows the light to be turned on by flicking the wall switch (typically near entry to the room) off/on regardless of the last state set by the remote. This alleviates the need to mount the remote/holster near the room entrance, and you can always turn on the light from the wall switch. As someone indicated, this means the light will turn on in the event of power restoral after a failure, but if your electrical power is stable, this is a minor issue as a trade-off for the convenience. Pros: * The controller is pre-paired at the factory, so it's ready to go once the controller has been installed. * I had no conflicts with two separate controllers and remotes in adjacent rooms. They work really reliably! * Range is excellent. As I said, these are RF, so you don't need line-of-sight, and it'll work around corners or through walls. The antenna is inside the enclosure and not hanging out as illustrated in pictures, but even inside a metallic dome/cover, it seems to have no issues receiving signals from the remote control. * 3 different fan speeds are comparable with the fan's 3 speeds. * Audible beep is a good confirmation that a command has been received. * Really easy to connect -- uses conventional wire colouring. * If you really want to disable the beep sound, you can de-solder the piezo electric buzzer mounted on the PCB inside. It's really easy to access. But I don't find it that loud or annoying, myself, and prefer to keep it. Cons: * Wires are about as short as could be, and there is no slack -- it would've been nice to have a few extra inches. * No method of mounting is provided -- it would have been nice to have holes for zip/cable ties, and maybe provide ties or velcro, but you have to figure this out entirely yourself. * Wiring is 20 AWG (stranded), so thinner than house wiring, but then my fan's wiring was 18 AWG. I would've expected 16-18 AWG for this controller. * The way the wires come out (straddling the unit) makes it a bit difficult to mount while keeping tidy (recall I said wires are short). To get around this, I opened the unit and routed all 5 wires out a single hole, which made it easier to mount neatly. I've provided pictures of my controller installed, zip-tied to the mounting bracket. In the second picture, where you can see the white label, this is the hole where the neutral and hot wires used to come out; I moved them all to the other side to allow easier connections, because the wires protruded only maybe 4" from the unit. Luckily there was enough space under the fan motor cover for me to mount it this way. Overall, a great fan/light controller that extends the usability of most fans.

Buena opcion para sustituir un receptor dañado. La velocidad del ventilador es menor que la que daba con el control original, de hecho en la velocidad 1 ni siquiera se mantiene, gira un par de veces muy despacio y se apaga. La velocidad 2 es mas o menos como la 1 de mi control original y la 3 seria como la 2. Asi que basicamente ya no tengo la velocidad mas alta, lo cual no me preocupa ya que nunca las usaba. Pero es algo a tener en cuenta si vas a comprarlo. Todas las demas funciones son las correctas y no tube ningun otro problema. Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que en las fotos se ve un cable adicional de antena, el cual no trae la unidad que recibi, pero al parecer el modelo que recibi tiene la antena interna y funciona sin problemas, solo que no han actualizado las imagenes.

Worked like a charm

Le entrega fue rapida de un dia para otro, todas las funciones trabajan bien hasta ahora con un mes de uso.

Works great, allows a manual switch to always turn on the light wihtout needing the remote. It was a tight fit above the fan frame but it went in. Has an audible beep when you change settings. Works great
