Robert,
Yes the switch needs to be operable at the switch itself and by remote. Others operate the fan speed for me when I'm not in a position to operate it with my remote.Do you have a suggestion for a switch that can operate a fan, be operatered manually, by remote, and has a speed LED meter for me to know what speed its set at with a glance? Can Levitons SureSlide Decora style dimmers be operated by X-10 signals?
