1 switch - to turn power on/off to the fan lights. This can be replaced by a wall control switch.
2 switches - one switch turns power on/off to the fan, the other to the lights.
Wall control switch - to adjust fan speed and lights. Wall controls are available for either 2 or 3 NM wire configurations. A wall control switch may or may not use a transmitter and receiver.
