Really only one option if you want to be able to adjust the speed. Otherwise a simple relay will work.

I'd like to be able to control my ceiling fans via x10, ie. turning them on in the AM and off in the PM. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to use a x10 wall switch but the fans hum and two switches stopped working altogether. Is there any work around for this or do I just have to remember to turn them on and off manually?


Damn! At $99.00, I'd rather let my fingers do the walking.

You can do it with a basic relay for around $30.00 SwitchLinc 1-Way 15 Amp Relay Switch

I just showed this becuase it's very popular when wanting to control the speed.

Thanks Brian, I ordered a SwitchLinc 1-Way 15 Amp Relay Switch from Automated Outlet for $29.99 plus shipping. They were the cheapest I could find. Thanks for the help.

29.99 "They were the cheapest I could find. "

Interesting I sell it for 29.95
