First - a Merry Christmas and peace to all. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday.

The question today is how do I turn a 3 way circuit into a single pole circuit?

I am installing 2 ceiling fans (operating together on one circuit) on what is now a 3-way circuit (2 3-way switches). The fan manufacturer wants the fans installed into a single pole circuit and for me to use the electronic wall control & supplied remote control to control the fans.

So ... I suppose the plan is to close off one of the 3 way switches (replace the switch with a plate), and replace the other 3 way switch with the single pole wall control switch supplied by the manufacturer. Correct?

For the one I close off, I have existing wiring like the photo - 3 wires - red black, and white. Do I just tie them together to delete the switch?

For the new control I have the same wiring on the existing 3 way switch. How do I terminate them to replace 3 way switch with a single pole switch?

Thanks and regards.
