Re: Wiring In The Bathroom
It's not off topic - I'm in the process of installing a self contained
VentAxia heat recovery fan. It's best to control it via your HA system
otherwise you'd have to use their ugly 1980s looking controllers!

Interesting. It might work if the room inlet is in the bathroom and a
window was ajar/door closed and so the moist air is pushed outside.
I've been considering a central heat recovery unit (Vent Axia does some) to
pull moist air out of the bathrooms and expel it, recovering some of the
heat on the way.
...getting a bit off-topic (though I suppose the fan might need a bit of
automation!)

We've got a similar system in our rented house and quite frankly hate it.
It's turned the hall/stairs/landing into an ice box.
