The fan in my bathroom is activated by the same single switch as the light. They come on together. Will this humidistat work with that arrangement?

Since the control is just a humidity controlled switch I think it will work however the light will come on too, since they are not on separate controls. If this the only light (or primary) in the bathroom this is probably not a good solution for you.

No. The humidistat is "just a switch." Activated by humidity rather than your finger. So if you install it where the single switch is now, it will "work" but the light and fan will BOTH come on when the room steams up and go off when the air dries out. You would have to pull a second set of wires to switch the fan and light independently.

You could make it work by connecting the humidistat up on the ceiling by opening the fax box and wiring in the humidistat up there.

No, not as currently wired. You will have to wire the light separately from the fan.

They will switch on together. But you can put the switch outside the fan housing and connect it only to the fan. It is a sealed box with wires sticking out, so you can interrupt one of the connections to the fan and put the humidistat in between. BTW, I use 55% in th ewinter and 85% in the summer on LI/NY.

No. You need to separate the wiring of the two, change the single switch box to a duplex box and wire the switches separately in the new duplex or 2 switch box.

It depends. It's a 3way switch. If the fan has light heat nightlight and fan then no. After I picked the fan I wanted I called customer service and asked them for the model number of a compatible switch. If you're adventurous you can figure it out with info on the website. The cuts svc peeps were very helpful.

That should work fine unless it's a three way switch. Is that the only switch that controls the fan? If not, you must pick one switch to replace and bypass the other switch.

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

This switch is for any fan, light and heater unit or any unit that has 3 functions. It would work on a two function unit you would just use 2 of the switches. I tried to look up the unit you mentioned on Amazon but it was missing a number. If your device has two or three functions then this switch will work.

No. The fan will only run with the light switch is on. You need to rewire if you want it them to run independently.

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

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

It should work with a bathroom fan, but will shut off shortly after any motion stops. I agree that a timer would be a better choice.

It should, however, I wonder if what you are trying to say is that if the same switch turn the fan and the light at the same time, or if you have two switches one for the light and the other for the fan? Mine, I have it installed with one switch and turns both the light and the fan, however since I also have recessed lights in this room, I have decided to leave the lights of the fan off and only use the fan. Hope this helps you.

No. The light is only activated by switch. You can choose to wire the fan up to a switch, but by doing so you would lose the automated feature of it while the switch is off. The fan is meant to be connected to an always live source so that it will turn itself on when it senses motion or humidity. Basically, there are 2 separated power leads on this unit. 1 for the light, and 1 for the fan.

Probably not because this controller is a wireless remote control and unless your two fans are wired in series, the switch will only control one fan that the receiver unit is wired to. If the receiver can be wired so that it can send current to both fans when the switches are turned on, then it may work.

No, you will need a separate switch to control the light function. In one of my bathrooms I have a light built into the fan and I have a separate switch to control the light along side this fan control. This is a very good fan control switch and I think you will like the features and functionality. The only issue that some don't like is the green LEDs that are illuminated (one is always on. if the unit is off, the main buttonLED is on and the last default time LED is also on. If the unit is on then the button time that is selected is on. Some are concern about this at night, but it's kind of a night light for me. I hope this helps.

I installed this motion switch because I installed LED lights in a laundry room because the previous motion switch kept one of the LEDs on at a reduced power all the time. This switch fixed the problem. I would believe that this will work just fine for a bathroom fan. It is a very good quality device.

Yes the light will work on the switch and the fan will go off depending on the delay that you choose. I do a lot of remodels and we install quite fans and set them for 20 -30 minute delay

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

Yes, works with three separate switches, one each for light, heat, and exhaust fan
