RE: X10 switching of a bathroom fan

["Pete Church" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenneth,



That's exactly what I'd like to achieve.  What switch are you using, an X10
one, or a direct link to the din modules?



Thanks



Pete

I use two DIN rail modules, an AD for the fan as it's a simple on/off
affair and an LD for the lights as I don't want blinded when I need a
waz in the middle of the night, nor do I want a noisy fan belting away
for twenty minutes while I try to get back to sleep. ;)

I'm getting old and grumpy, no defence for it.

It is however the neatest solution I could come up with that allowed
the maximum flexibility in how I wanted it to work and, the beauty of
it is, I can change it to do whatever I please whenever I please
without rewiring the damn thing. It's just a software change via
programming.

If the DIN rail modules are a hassle look at the micro modules which
are positively tiny, Li keeps them on laser.com. A bit more of an
expensive way to do it but where space is tight they're ideal.
