Yes. Simply turn on the ceiling fan while the light switch is in the "on" position. Adjust the spinning to the level of your choice. Now the fan will turn on and off when you switch the light on and off.

When using the remote for a Hunter fan-light the light will not turn on-off using the remote-it will turn on-off using the wall switch but the fan will turn on-off using the remote Any ideas?
The fan is wired to the house wrong. Typically the red switch wire in the ceiling box will be nutted off and not used when a remote is installed. Sounds like, in this case, the fan light wire (blue) was connected to the red switch wire in the ceiling box instead of being correctly connected to the remote unit at the fan.
Do ceiling fans have timers that turn the lights off after a certain period of time?
Not usually, The light would have had to been wired with a three wire from the switch to the fan. One circuit to control the fan and the other switch to control the light. If this is your situation then all you will have to do is change the light switch to a timer and that will do what you want.

You hooked up a ceiling fan when you turn the switch off it comes on when you turn the switch on the breaker flips?
The only way that this could happen is if the switch is a change-over/two-way switch or a switch to a lamp/light. When you switch on, you are short-circuiting the mains. Probably, educated guess, you need to wire the fan across two other terminals if it is two-way, or you need to wire it in to the ceiling rose of the lamp, not the switch. The problem with switches in lighting circuits is that the wires to the switch are not positive and negative, they are usually both positive - one from the supply, one to the lamp. Unless the current drain to the fan is huge - unlikely.
Can an electricity surge turn on a light?

Using the remote is like having two switches in series. Both switches have to be on at the same time. Do not use the remote to turn off the fan when you want to turn the fan off with the wall switch.

What is the answer to the light switch riddle?
Turn the first light switch on and wait 5 minutes, turn it off. Turn the second light switch on and go into the other room. The light bulb that is currently "on" represents the second light switch. Touch the next two light bulbs and which ever is hotter represents the first light switch. You can find the third by cancelling out the other two.

When installing a remote light switch one must first turn the power off. This will prevent shock or electrocution. Next, unscrew the plate currently on the wall and remove the switch and wire the new one with remote. Next remove the light from the ceiling and install the remote sensor. Place light cover back over light and turn power back on. Program and test remote control to ensure wiring was correctly installed.
