I waited and waited for this to come back in stock. Finally got it and was soo disappointed that it does not let me connect to existing switch on my wall. You have to use the switch box that it comes with. I have 3 wall switches connected to my current fan and light in 3 separate location in my living room and unfortunately I will not be able to use any of the wall switches with this fan. I will have to install a universal remote to operate fanlight. Not sure if I want to do that. I’m so used to flipping the light and fan on from the wall. I read the reviews and nothing was mentioned about this. Just wanted to give future buyers a heads up. It’s a beautiful fan and I really want it soo I’ll have to adjust to a remote control. Had to reuse old hang rod because the one it came with was too short but I’m going to spray paint it.
