What about this ceiling fan controller?

Apr 10, 2005 1 Replies

I have a ceiling fan+light that is already installed on the ceiling, and I want to install a controller that has a light dimmer and a fan speed controller in one assembly. I have said controller in hand. The switch has two black wires, a blue, and a green. The switch box in the wall has black/white/ground coming from the breaker box, and black/white/red/ground going to the ceiling. I know for a fact that the fan assembly is installed correctly -- that black/white goes to the light and red/white serves the fan.


  1. How are two blacks, a blue, and a ground wire supposed to be hooked up in the switch box?
  2. If the fan is a three-speed fan, that means I cannot hook up a slide controller at all, right?

Thanks.
