Anyone know how I could control a Hunter Fan/light combo that uses a Hunter RF remote? In other words, there is a single switch connected to the fan/light. The only way to control the fan/light is using the Hunter supplied RF remote which has light on/off and fan speeds. Any ideas??

What's the RF frequency? If it's not on the remote, it should be here... [Link: mbx-usa.com] Are you hoping to replace the remote with X-10 control? This message was edited by Dave Houston on 02/12/04 07:13. |

Actually I have two fans-the one is a Hampton Bay that is Fcc ID: FCC ID: CHQ8BT7030T Freq: 304.000MHz (using the chart you attached). The other is a Hunter Fan Fcc Id: FCC ID: IN2TX02 Freq: 310.000MHz . Yes, I am looking to use a MX-500 remote to control the fans using a X10 switch or some other mechanism. I realize the MX-500 is not RF capable so I may need to go to a MX-600 w/RF. Is this possible? Any other suggestions? |

What RF frequency does the MX-600 use? Do you mean the MX-800? It uses 418MHz. How do you enter new codes into either the MX-500 or MX-600? CodeGen™ has CCF codes for some Hampton Bay and some Hunter fans. I suggest buying a used or refurb Pronto, adding a 310MHz RF transmitter, and using it to control the Hunter fan and any X-10 RF you may have. You can build a 310MHz-to-303.875MHz RF2RF converter which will let you control the Hampton Bay fan using the Pronto 310MHz transmitter. If you insist on the MX-?00 with 418MHz RF, you'll need two RF2RF converters, assuming you can convert the CCF codes into MX codes. This message was edited by Dave Houston on 02/12/04 22:31. |

Thanks for the reply and info. THeo nly way to enter new codes in the MX-500 is to use the learn function from another remote. Thanks for the suggestions on the Pronto remotes. |

Actually, IRClone turns a PC into a teaching "remote" so there is a way to get the CCF codes into it. But, the MX-500 would need an IR2RF converter for your fans and you would need a way to transport IR to another room. The MX-800 & RF2RF converters would probably work but I know the Pronto method works. |
