Wireless fan working with wireless inwall remote?

Question:I have a Hamtpon Bay fan, model number 55295, http://www.hamptonbay.com/product.aspx?p... it came with a handheld remote to control the fan (no way to control it through normal switches) but i can't find the remote in the dark, so i want to change over to an in wall remote. I found this at home depot (Model T1&R1, http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stor... but i can't get it to work with my fan. both products are made by Hampton Bay and i've tried to change the frequency's to match (tried opposite, etc) but no luck. Noone at the home depot knows anything about it and Hampton Bay doesn't have a support phone number or even an email. So i'm throwing it out to the world.. does anyone know how i can get these two things to work together (or know of a universal in wall remote) Thanks a ton.

Answers:
im not sure what you mean by trying to change frequencys but there are sets of 4 switchs in each that you need to match, they either go up or down, and you can change them so they dont interfer with things like garage door openers. you can also hardwire the fan, by passing the remote kit so your toggle switch on the wall will control it. good luck

I have installed the same fan and had the same problem. There is only 2 wires going into the top of the fan. So there is no way to install a wall remote switch, and furthermore there is no way to turn the fan on when you lose the remote...I will NOT recommend any other person ever to buy a Home Depot remote fan with out a back up pull chain. Sorry
