Good day all
I've searched for this and have found solutions to both parts but nothing that seems to combine both. If I've missed something please point me in the right direction and send me on my way. But if I'm correct I'd appreciate the benefit of your wisdom.
Here is the scenario: Foyer ceiling fan that has its fan motor controlled by a speed-control switch via 2 conductor w/gnd wire located in my living room. Power for this circuit is coming from (#9 breaker) a separate power source than the lighting control for the fan.
Utilizing a separate house circuit (#5) the power for the fan lighting is controlled from 3 separate locations by 2-3way and a 4-way switch setup. One of the fan lighting control switches (the 4-way) is located in a wall box next to the fan motor control switch. Power for this comes to the circuit via the 3-way switch located in the foyer as you enter the house and the switches are connected together via 3 conductor w/gnd and a 2 conductor carries the switched current to the light fixture in the fan from the last 3-way switch. It is my understanding this is a common method.
So the question is how do I get both fan motor and lighting control preferably off of one power circuit? My thought is to place a fanlinc (#2475F) at the fan and use a 6 button keypadlinc (#2487S) at the living room location and use 2 Dimmer switches (#2477D) at the other 2 locations. If that is correct then how do I wire them. Also how do I resolve the issue of switched power at my fan when I understand I need constant power to the fanlinc for it to operate correctly?
Thanks in advance.
