I obtained a used Emerson fan that had is own receiver, but no remote. I could not find a replacement remote compatible with existing receiver *no longer made) that controlled, up/down lights, multiple fan speeds and could reverse fan direction. Decided the "reverse" option on a remote was not high on my priority list so I choose to replace the existing receiver with a new receiver and remote. I purchased the Anderic "kit" and quickly had the fan up and running. I recommend it to anyone.
