Can't tell if it is a legitimate remote or not. It wouldn't take a software update so I'm guessing no (I had to update using the original remote which still worked well enough to do that). That said, it works 1000% better than other attempts at getting a "Sony" replacement remote. Idk why Sony doesn't sell replacements directly. Short of the SW update issue, it's a great remote.
can not use and can not find anyone to help me!!!!
Received exactly what was ordered. Arrived in great condition
I was very disappointed there was no instruction sheet to help with set up.
My bestie threw away my original remote to my fan, its been on for weeks and i finally caved and got this brand remote. In the video, they are right your ceiling fan remote is not supposed to have a pairing thingy where the battery is… By following the video instructions i finally was able to turn my fan of by remote and see my light for the first time in weeks! $40 for a replacement was worth it!
