Has anyone had any luck in programming the Pronto to control a Hunter Ceiling fan remote. I dont know if the fans are controlled via IR or RF and if it is RF is there a way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.....

Hunter Fans, along with most others are RF, hence the little wire in the fan base and the discrete code toggles on the remote switch. The Pronto is IR. Therefore, they will never talk to each other.

Actually you can control the fan with your Pronto, but you have to use X10 devices to do it. Go to smarthome.com and purchase two thing:

IR 543 part number 4040
Leviton 500W Switch part number 2205WI

With these it is possible. Simply read on their site and it will tell you how.

By the way, I've done it.

The wall switches work fine if your fan is controlled thru a normal wall switch. But this particular Hunter fan has an R/F receiver in the fan, no wall switch needed. Then you just use the R/F remote. I use this type of fan up on our loft, and I can control it downstairs remotely. Now, to control this fan with X10, I believe I have a solution, it would be the same solution I use to control my DC fireplace with X10.

IndexHome and other sites sell X10 switches that control DC components for about $20. I made one from components at Radio Shack (a project box, a highly rated AC relay, and a old AC cord from a broken radio) for about $5.00. I plugged this AC/DC relay into an appliance X10 module and control my fireplace with it.

The same type of thing might work for the R/F remote fans by getting into the R/F remote and attaching to certain button connections, but you would not want a continuous connection, just a quick momentary connection. Turning on the relay would contact speed #1 or 2 or 3, depending on which one you hooked into. Then the relay off action would contact the fan off button. I am not sure how to make a momentary contact from a relay, though.

Any ideas?
