The 8 Best 3 way Fan Controls (2023 reviews)

We are personally inclined towards cenming 3 way fan control, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. This universal ceiling fan remote controller is designed to separately control your ceiling fan speed and light brightness. It is compatible with incandescent light bulbs and dimmable led/cfl lamps. It is easy to set the dip switches and connect to the motor. It can always open the receiver for code which is on the celelling mount.

The receiver is the same size and shape as the prior unit and fit easily in the ceiling fan canopy. It is used for years working in the blink of an eye. The green luminous button is for dimming, this button is made of fluorescent material, so it can help you find the remote control in the dark. This is a great addition for a ceiling fan, or a replacement.

Non-variable (on/off) wall controls can be used together
Installed in under 15 minutes and works perfectly

Best With Reverse button: Pikeman 3 way Fan Control

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase control for their daily purpose, but the pikeman 3 way fan control would be an anomoly. The Hampton Bay light control has two modes. It is designed for ceiling fans with up-down lights for three-speed motors and can be used with ceiling fans for almost all well-known brands. The Altura ceiling fan (model 72601) comes with remote control and has no light fixture but in any case, this remote is universal and could be installed in any kind of ceiling fan to remotely control the speed of fan and light. The remote will have a blk, white, and blue wire for output from the remote which the blk and white are connected to the fan motor respectively and the same white and blue will connect to the light. There are three screws that hold the metal container in place on the fan body.

The fan works perfectly, but the light will not dim, it's either on or off. The Hampton bay light control has two modes. It is compatible with most ceiling fans except those that have built-in and do not use with solid state fans.

Best With Reverse: Aubric 3 way Fan Control

Best With Dip Switch: Fanimation 3 way Fan Control

Buy on Amazon

The fanimation 3 way fan control's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This wall-mounted control will allow you to use your ceiling fan and downlight with ease. The switch, wired to the fan in Room 1, will control the fan in Room 2 flawlessly. It only controls the light and fan on/off and dim/speed. The fan has to have enough room for the "receiver" to fit in the hanging bracket/canopy space where it mounts to the ceiling electrical box.

This looks and performs better than a tacky remote stuck to the wall. The fan and the switch will run off the same power. The fact that it doesn’t need batteries is even more appealing.

Why We Like This:

Canopy style receiver included, allowing for easier access
A good alternative to wireless remotes
One of the new comers and featured product

Best With Google Home: Nexete 3 way Fan Control

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention nexete 3 way fan control for regular usage. There are ceiling fans in just about every room which get turned on when the AC goes off if it’s cooler outside. It works with almost 98% regular ceiling fans, such as hampton bay, harbor breeze fans, westinghouse, honeywell and others well-known brands. It shows up as two devices in Alexa one for the fan and one for the light. It works great, until you figure out the tricks.

The Hunter has an IR controller in the ceiling yoke, so installation is super simple. It is easy to install, just wire a motor and light individually. It is easy to use. It is to use the smart life app as a remote.
