1: Was this a doomed project from the start?
2: Can I re-wire the fan to run separately from the lights? There are pull chains for each function that allows them to operate separately from one another.
3: Did I get the wrong switch? Should I have gotten the Maestro instead of the Diva?
Thanks in advance for the help.
