Electrical – Wiring Ceiling Fan Remote, Two Dimmers

ceiling-fanelectricalwiring

I think this DIY wiring is a bit too much (I honestly didn't know the fan came with a remote unit when I bought it). I have a switch with separate fan and light dimmers already installed (one switches the fan off and on and adjusts the speed, one switches and dims the light). I got the fan/light to work, but the remote and dimmers aren't responding as they should. It's a Casablanca Glen Arbor with a remote.

My ceiling has a green, white, red (hot for the light dimmer I suspect) and black (hot for the fan dimmer I suspect).

The remote receiver unit has white, yellow, blue and black.

The fan has green, white, blue and black.

What would be the ideal way to wire this? Thank you!

In all honesty, your using 2 incompatible set ups: hardwired and remotes. they're designed to be exclusive of each other. Either remove the canopy controller and use as standard fan, or remove dimmers in the wall, and use the remote.

If you really want both, you'll need to either uses something like this wonderful but pricy setup or something like this.
