mstafford388 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Are the lights on a c4 switch as well? Just turn them on with the lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linking them would be the easiest way, thanks!i was hoping not to have them running when not needed but in reality it makes no difference....

cdepaola Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Could do a few things... Install an Axxess Motion sensor which also has a humidity sensor or an Axxess Contact Sensor, Multi Function Repeater, or Relay Contact Sensor all of which also monitor temperature. Either would be fine ways to automate an exhaust fan turning on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamT Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 If its a matter of humidity and smells....why not: Start a timer when light is on. If on for 3 mins turn on fan. leave fan on while light on. After light is off leave fan on for 5 mins (to clean out air) and then off. Solves all issues and no parts needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 If its a matter of humidity and smells....What else would be the driver for this? Besides that, typically lights aren't needed in the daytime. If that works for the OP, great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason, because its the point of an automation system.. :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the axxess motion sensor with the humidity sensor would be the route to go here, been planning on using motion sensors in the rooms anyways. Any leads on obtaining these units?

SMHarman Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Blackwire posts here you can ask who is a dealer in these. They will need to be added to the project by a C4 dealer though Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
