(More customer reviews)I bought this product at the local Home Depot store to switch the light and the fan on my bedroom fan. The installation requires to install a canopy module that sits between the switch and the fan itself. The canopy module is zip-tied to the internal fan housing and is out of sight. Relatively speaking, the canopy module installation was pretty straight forward.
When I installed the switch, I though I paid attention to how the previous switch was wired. Unfortunately I had one of the wires reversed. My switch had three black leads attached to it. One of them was power, the other went to the fan and the third continued the circuit to the rest of the room. I accidentally reversed the wiring which left me confused as the fan would be on, with all of the circuits in the room, however the switch did not affect anything on the fan.
I wasn't sure if I did something wrong at the switch end or the canopy module end. I called up Lutron's tech support which is listed in the instructions and on their website. 24/7 tech support was really 24/7 as I was calling at 7pm on a Sunday evening! Amazingly I was talking to someone from the US; I figured that they would definitely offshore a weekend call. This likely speaks to their customer service guarantee. The tech on the phone pointed out that I may have the wires at the switch reversed and suggested that I disconnect it, leave two of the black leads touching, turn on the breaker and see what happens. From there I saw that I wired the room power to the fan, but not to the rest of the room. I made the appropriate fixes to the switch and happily completed the install. Major kudos to the Lutron customer service and tech support.
Lastly, this is a really cool switch, it has a number of different modes for turning the lights and fan on and off, including delayed dimming, fast-on, fast-off and variable speed settings with memory. It is a great product and wouldn't mind installing it in any of my other rooms with fans. It also means that you don't have to use the pull cords on the fans anymore.
