Remote Controlled Ceiling Fans - Love Em or Leave Em?

[Maranda Tucker]

My biggest pet peeve, and an increasing trend I am seeing, are remote controlled ceiling fans. Lost remotes are the biggest pain! 

SO any tips and tricks around this? Obviously, securing the remote holder to the wall next to a switch is a must. But what else?

Quote from @Alessandro Di Luciano:

Remote control anything is a rental is a headache from my experience. If you go remote controlled ensure 1. You have a way to manually run the fan, blinds, etc. and 2. Do not put it in your rental agreement and risk being responsible to fix the remote functionality.

interested in hearing others opinions!

 Ugh I know. And builders are starting to add more "techy" items like this to their new construction. I can foresee future headache for sure.
