I am trying to replace the ceiling fan in the master. It ran 4 can lights and a ceiling fan/light to an old lutron dimmer switch for fan and light with a canopy. The can light and the fan light ran at the same time on the light switch and the fan ran off the fan switch. The new fan has a remote canopy to install over the hanger so I had to get a new wall switch. I was told I need to separate the fan so that the remote just runs the fan with power running through the wall switch. Then the can light and the fan light work as one. From the ceiling to the fan I have white black and green. At the switch I have red black white and bare coming from box 1 in the ceiling and black white and bare coming from the panel I believe. Box 2 in the attic has what looks like a few can lights that then wires into the first box. Box 1 has metal wrapped white black and green coming from fan, one of the thick yellow groups of wires comes from the other box in the attic and one of the yellow groups comes from another can light. What do I need to do to separate the fan? Is there an easier way to have fan run independently and can light/fan light run as one?

The fan in my room started grinding in the middle of the night so, next day, I went to the store to replace it. I found a "lutron ceiling fan canopy module" when I was switching out the fans. Never seen that before so I googled it and how to wire it. My set up is the wall dimmer and fan speed switch in the photo. The light part controls the ceiling (can?) lights and the light on the fan at the same time. (I've been told this was the problem). The fan button just runs the fan normally. I didn't have any problems before the switch.

After trying to replace the fan with a new one and googling wiring I can't get it to work with the lutron canopy. I even tried to do it with the external remote supplied and it didn't work fan and it didn't work.

Home Depot and Lowe's told me to get an electrician and have them split off the ceiling lights. Is that true? Did I buy the wrong fan? I got a harbour breeze? I'm by no means an electrician but I have replaced ceiling fans, light fixtures and outlets with no problems so I would rather figure it out if I can.

I just want to get it back to the way it was lol. Maybe it was Southern engineered too much before me, they were here when I bought the place.

Photos are old fan with the light on showing the ceiling lights, new fan, wall switch and finding the canopy on top
