I get you. My wife wanted a ceiling fan last summer so while I was in the attic I ran it with separate light and fan wires. I also pre-wired my kids bedrooms "just in case", which turned out to be a good idea as my eldest got a light/fan as a present. Anyways, my wife went and got a fan... That uses one of those remote modules. All the switch can do is turn the whole thing on/off... Oh well. I replaced the switches for my kids lights with WD500s though. So far so good.
