RE: X10 switching of a bathroom fan

["Pete Church" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenneth,



Are you using an X10 switch to signal the on rather than a direct link to
the DIN rail module?  To do what you do that is what it implies.  That
would
be the neatest option I think, and the most controllable as I like the idea
of being able to disable the fan.  My technique does not allow that, and
I'm not sure I can use an X10 switch.



Thanks



Peter

I used an LD11 and an AD11 as then the timing can be changed to suit.
For example so the fan doesn't come on when someone nips to the loo
during the night, so, after 9pm or something like that, the fan is
totally disabled unless I manually override

I don't know that you could do it the way you're thinking TBH.
