Can I control a Ceiling fan w/remote only

Do you think this would work for other brands? I have a ceiling fan with a proprietary “receiver” wired in at the mounting bracket. And what you are saying is to replace that with a dimmer for the light and a fan controller for the fan lights? It would be much better to control with ST rather than proprietary remote.

I could just put a switch in, but then I would have no control over fan speed; or fan/light independently.
