I am wondering if I can program my pronto to operate my celing fan. Here's the deal.
I have a Hunter ceiling fan that has a remote. Althought I have two swiches for the fan, it only requires one, the remote operates the fan and light separately. I also purchased a IR to RF converter (4040). I would like some advise on how I can have the fan operate from my Pronto. I can't install two wall switches because the fan is only wired for one.
Thank you,
Scott Wernberg

The IR543 (4040) is not an IR to RF converter, it translates IR to X10.
To control the fan via X10 you'll have to bypass the fan's RF control and go with either X10 controlled wall switches or in-line modules.

Larry,
Can I get a converter that has the abilty to learn the fans RF signal? The fan has several option, like reverse, that will be useless with an inline or wall x-10 switch.

RF is something strictly regulated by the FCC. You don't see many multi frequency devices on the market. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com

This doesn't solve the problem, but everybody's favorite, smarthome.com has an RF learning remote that claims to be able to learn up to 6 different frequencies/codes (no rolling code though) in the 310-390 MHz range. [Link: smarthome.com]John Galvin
