I am looking for suggestions on how to wire a ceiling fan and separate lights in a 3 season (enclosed) porch. My dilemma is that when I built the house and the upstairs porch, framing needs limited my porch light wiring to a switch on an interior wall leading to the gang box outside on the porch ceiling. My intent was to install a single recessed ceiling light on the porch, switched from inside. Now that I am getting around to finishing the porch trim and screening it in, my significant other has decided she would instead like a ceiling fan AND perimeter lights (white LED Christmas lights) around the inside edges of the ceiling.

The problem: The wall between the interior room and the outside porch is essentially solid framing (French doors and windows - solid structural framing in between). There is an interior wall switch but no way to install an exterior switch. I'd like to control perimeter lighting around the ceiling with a switch which can operate independently of the ceiling fan. One device or the other turned on or both at the same time. Attaching conduit and running wires to a switch on the exterior porch wall are not an option (aesthetics). And there is no way to run additional wiring without tearing things apart.

How to operate 2 devices from a single power source in the ceiling, each with their own control?

I'm considering taking power from the center of the ceiling (where fan will be located) and running it to the ceiling perimeter and installing an outlet in the ceiling for the lights (the ceiling itself has yet to be installed). This would put the ceiling fan and perimeter lights on a single switch (inside), and then use a fan with remote and another remote (plug in to the outlet) to control the outlet itself (to power the lights). This will be cumbersome but will work as long as you remember to do everything in the correct sequence and can keep track of the remotes. But is there a more elegant solution? A master remote to control everything? Some sort of control panel that allows a centralized switching system? Simplicity is the goal here. Thoughts?
