Can this be used to control a bathroom exhaust fan

I am not familiar with wattage ratings of exhaust fans and when a motor starts up it draws more current. You would have to read the specs of your fan to answer that.

I don't know why not, it is just a switch like any other. check the amp rating on the fans to make sure the total doesn't exceed the rating of the switch.

It might work, but the overall power is so weak, I wonder if it will be sufficient for a bathroom of any size, especially if the exhaust piper is long.

Sorry, I hit yes accidentally. It should be NO. This switch simply replaces a switch that has 3 selections (off, low, high). It is specially designed to allow for high amperage which is needed for a whole house fan. It would replace an older high-low switch but would not work with timer.

Your should be able to as long as the fan's wattage doesn't exceed that of the dimming controller...

Yes you can use it as an exhaust fan but don't buy it. It's junk. Don't waste your money. A hand held fan is better than this one

Yes, it can. The black box slides into the fan mounting bracket, under the ceiling bezile. Then, it's a matter of connecting all of the wires together, as explained in the instructions that come with the unit. really quitte simple. Just make sure that the code on the black box (4 position) matches the remote controls that you are using with that fan. If they do not match, the remote will not work.

Yes, it should. It simply controls power to the fan similar to a light switch.

I don't think so. I live in CA and due to the changes in the weather I need one to be able to control the fan depend on the weather

Yes. There is some rationale behind what you've read, fans are motors, inductive motors. I use two of these in my house, both on bath fans, both work just fine. The timer is rated for a 1/6th HP load, that's a pretty big bathroom fan, roughly 124 watts. you should be fine, but if you really want to make sure, check to see your fan is < 1/6th HP.

Not inherently.. you might be able to modify it somehow to do that, I don't know.. but as it comes, it's only an exhaust fan..

The fan uses a remote control for all functions. Check with an electrician to see if your existing wall control can be used.

Yes, works perfectly. We have it in use in 3 bathrooms to control our various panasonic bathroom fans. It only controls a fan though, not a light and fan unless they're on the identical supply line.

It can be used for such a purpose but with out an air flow meter is hard to figure out what any change would do to any system. You could always over power a system then use an adjustable inline damper to bring the air flow down to what is needed.

Load specs on the timer are 15A general purpose (incandescent, CFL, halogen, etc lights), 1000W tungsten lights, 1/4 hp motor, 1000 VA ballast (florescent lights). So as long as your whole house fan is ¼ horsepower or below, you shouldn't have any trouble. If the fan is larger than this, the timer could be used to trigger a 120V coil on a relay rated for your fan and then the fan power would be switched by the relay with this timer in control.

Any electric fan can be outfitted with a variable speed switch/dimmer, as long as the switch/dimmer has the specs to cover the fans wattage. so the answer is yes, but make sure the switch you get can handle the fanns wattage. They make speed controllers for some shop power tools,. this fan draws less juice than most power tools, so that would be a good, likely safe place to aim (but still check).But ultimately this one comes with a speed control built in,. so,.. unless your like me and installed it out of arms reach and you want to put in a remote dimmer,.. the question is moot.

This would only work with a fan controlled by a Minka-Aire controller. Its is highly unlikely this is the unit you want.
