Paulknapp Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Greetings! I found a lot of info here on programming a bathroom exhaust fan, but couldn't find a definitive answer on the switch to use. (Probably because it's so basic...) Can I use a standard (legacy or new) C4 switch to control a bathroom exhaust fan? Thanks! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscase Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If I use a switch to control bathroom fan, then what is a good practice for programming? I would simply like the fan to run for 30 minutes after turning it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipboy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You can also use a dimmer with a 100% ramp. I've had mine running like this for years without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You can also use a dimmer with a 100% ramp. I've had mine running like this for years without issue. Or it could fail in the first month. Given the choice - use a switch. As for programming, you would create a timer of 30 minutes - non repeating.Then: When [fan] turns onreset [timer] When [timer] expiresturn of [fan] Most simplistice version. If you want to have the timer reactivate on pressing the top button again, change the first line to: When [fan] top button is pressedreset [timer] More options available of course.
