I came across a new one today. I'm working on a back yard addition, some cans, some ceiling fans with light kits, sconces, downlights, etc.
THE SITUATION:
There are 3 ceiling fans total. All 3 have light kits. All three have remotes and modules .The fans are on a constant hot...no switch.
THE PROBLEM:
The fans work fine with the remote once its programmed, but the lights turn on with 2 fans, but off with the 3rd when I hit the light button "on." Then when you hit the remote button for the light "off" the lights switch (2 off, one on). I've reprogrammed and tried to get them all to work together at least 16 times. The fans always work, fan speeds and all. But the lights are always changing order. And to make things worse, they're dimmable from the remote. There are only dip-switches in the remotes. (The modules are auto-sensing). I have tried turning the dip switch off for the dimmer, and on...there's no change in result.
MY QUESTIONS:
Can I remove 2 of the modules and tie all of the fans to the output of one module so all the fans get the same signal? Are there output voltage limitations on the modules? I believe the problem to be that all 3 modules are picking up the RF signal but only when they're pointed at or pointed in the general vicinity of. The fans are too far apart to be able to point at all 3 at the same time.
Anyone ever run into this before?
