Ceiling fans with integrated remote receivers function different

[@vladimus9749]

My house has no wall switches for the fans so these were installed in all the rooms. I hate having to change expensive 12v batteries that I can only buy on Amazon every 6 months. They always die right as I'm trying to go to bed. It would be so much work to switch them all out to something better.

Make ceiling fans great again! Haha. Naw but seriously, many times these high tech machines aren’t as reliable or easy to use as their predecessors.

No sir they are not and you are absolutely correct. I've been turning lights on and off for over 4 decades and I've never had to take a switch plate cover off to replace the batteries in a wall mounted switch. And I don't intend to start now.
