On a three-way wall switch the darker terminal is the common and the two lighter-colored screw terminals (brass) are your travelers. It is safer to connect the wires to the switch with the screw terminals (connect clockwise) and not push the wire ends into those little holes.
Great video! I was able to hook up the light switch. The power button on the switch works, but the individual light/fan buttons does not work. I don’t have a live wire tester so I tried both ways with connecting to the VAC and fan wire. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Hi MaddieBreager, I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your installation. Keep in mind with electrical connections it's important to connect the wires correctly. Improper connections could damage the unit. That's why I showed how to use the tester to insure correct connections.
This switch does operate on radio wave and depending on how far away the fan is, it may struggle to properly turn on/off the light/fan. I've noticed with mine that every once in awhile I'll have to push the button a second time. It's been the same with the remote which came with the fan. I recommend contacting Hunter support (support.hunterfan.com) if you continue to have issues. I've found their support to be very responsive. Thanks for watching my video and I wish you the best with your project.
Hi GoneRaiding, it seems counter intuitive, but yes, you still need to install the batteries. It's hard wired for the on/off master switch. Think of it as a remote recessed in the wall. One would think they would add a transformer to power the remote. Maybe there isn't room in the electrical box for both a transformer and all the remote functions/switches.
Hi lainaxoxo5633, just to clarify a couple things, your fan may not be compatible if it has pull chains and didn’t come with a remote or if the fan is an older model and the remote has a 9-volt battery. I see the only troubleshooting step in the manual is to “Make sure the battery is installed correctly.” Also, keep in mind that the bottom button on the wall control is a “Master Power” switch and nothing will work if it’s turned off. I would try the pairing step one more time. First turn the power off for 20 seconds. Within three minutes of turning the power back on, “long press” the fan and light buttons on the wall control. I suggest contacting Hunter support if you are still having issues ( support.hunterfan.com/hc/en-us ). I hope these suggestions help.

Hi EricSchwartz-sk8id, thank you for your advice. I do see a lot of professionals recommend using the screws for securing the wire connections.

I just tried to repaired it and now the light button works and main power work. The fan one will turn off the fan but turn it on.

Do you have to put batteries in the switch if you're hard wiring it?

what would you recommend if it doesn’t pair? never received a beep, just flashing blue light.

it’s pretty brutal that it uses AA batteries. Why? Why does it even get main power then?
