Is there such a thing as a fan that can be controlled with ir signals? If so does anyone have any info as google isn't helping me much
Thanks,

Let me get a serious answer in before all the silly answers come (as you've posted this in the wrong forum). If you look here you'll see several IR controlled fans... [Link: hifi-remote.com]Rob

I've personally never been a fan of ceilings. What good are they for...really?
The roof protects you from above. The floor is there to walk on and stop you from falling. Walls stop the roof from falling down. The ceiling is just an obstruction to the on the way to the bottom of the roof. Hell... some of the nicest homes I've been in, don't even have ceilings. They just finish the bottom of the roof. Makes it look so much more open without the obstruction.
Of course they still call it a "vaulted" or "Cathedral" ceiling. I'm sure that was just to protect the original inventors feelings though.
I'm sure there are fans of ceilings in this world. Whether or not they can be controlled by IR is beyond me. If so....?.... I wonder if the same remote would work on my other half...? Wishful thinking I guess.
If you find something get back to us....

I'm a fan . . .  I'm not sure Michelangelo had ir control in mind when he did it though.

Aha... that's the bottom of the roof. Or, like I mention earlier...a "cathedral" ceiling. Maybe I'm getting lost in the definition...?
ceil·ing
–noun 1. the overhead interior surface of a room.
Well that's quite the blanket definition. ...Ok, I guess I'm a fan too then.

When a newbie accidentally stumble into the Intermission forum, it kinda reminds me of Monty Python's "argument sketch". LCP, just FYI, the Intermission forum is where all the regulars get to let off some steam and have some fun, so when someone stumbles in here with a "serious" question, they're fair game. Anyway, back to your question, I haven't heard of a ceiling fan that is controlled by IR. If they were to be remote controlled at all, I would imagine that RF is much more likely as it doesn't require direct line of sight. However, it does appear that someone has at least invented an IR controlled ceiling fan: [Link: freepatentsonline.com]

You're right, I didn't. I saw that the 1st link was to my guy Obama, so I assumed the 2nd link wasn't "fan" related either. I see that that site has Westinghouse fans, so here's a direct link to WH: http://www.westinghouseceilingfans.comIt appears that most of their fans come with an optional remote control, but I'm guessing that it's an RF remote:
