Request Light and Fan switch in my apartment. Controls a combined ceiling light fixture. Has rockers presumably for dimming/speed, but the main buttons also control dim/speed. I'd love to know all about it, but I'd settle for just understanding how to quickly toggle power to fan and light w/o dim/speed.

*Meant to say "combined ceiling light/fan fixture. I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the larger buttons just quickly toggle on/off the fan and light respectively. If there's rockers just to the side, then logic would dictate this to be the default function.

Im guessing the larger buttons increase the speed/brightness and the smaller ones turn it lower. Left = faster/brighter, right=slower/dimmer

Afraid not. The smaller "buttons" are actually two rockers, so there's a total of 6 buttons: two large ones for fan and light, then four buttons across two rockers next to the large buttons. See pic

Once you figure it out, you should post it in /shittydesign. If it’s wired correctly, this fits that description.
