Is it possible to use this without the humidity control? I really just want a stacked switch for the light and a timer switch for the fan.

Yes. When you manually press the fan button on the switch, it will behave like a timer switch shutting off after 30 minutes.

you don't need a humidity sensing switch, you might want to go with a timer that keeps the fan running for a certain time after manually initiated

The unit is a simple switch. You set the humidity at the desired level, and the switch CLOSES when it reaches that level. Your outside H<50% won't turn on the fan, it will turn off the fan. But you could have the outside H<50% control a relay to do this I think.

I wired my fan to a switch and hard wired the humidity sensor. This ensures that the fan will come on when the humidity levels rise (when taking a shower) whether the switch is on or off Yes, the fan could randomly come on in the summer if the humidity levels are higher (you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor), but isn't that the point of the fan? Plus it costs less than pennies to run.

Hi Sherry,Thanks for the question. If you have a 3 wire setup in the single wall switch, then Yes. You'll have to purchase a dual control to operate the fan and light separately from a single switch. But don't forget Sherry, this fan comes with a remote control. We hope this helps. If you need anything further, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

No. You have to have 2 switches. Use the dimmer control for the ceiling fan and this for the light. You cannot put both the ceiling fan and light on the same switch. Too much amperage / wattage. I use this or the ge dimmer for the light and then the Leviton VRF01-1LZ Vizia RF for the ceiling fan.

Hi Topgear88, Check with your local inspection department because some say it's ok but I don't reccomend installing it directly above the shower. I would recommend installing the fan just outside the shower. If your trying to remove the humidity, Instead of a switch I would install a adjustable dehumidistat and set arround 45% to 50% then the fan will turn on & shut off automaticly. Also make sure to correctly size the fan so it will remove the humidity. Mark Innovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

There is a delay timer built into the fan so once you turn the switch off the fan will run (anywhere from 30 sec to 60 mins which ever you set it too) if you want to run the fan on a timer you could do so just install the timer make sure it's made for low voltage (because the switch for the fan is low voltage if install properly) and and set the delay on the fan to zero. Personally I'd prefer the use of the built in fan timer because no matter how long you use the bathroom the fan will remain on for a set time after you leave which is ideal for moisture control

I recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

I don't think so. The light that is controlled by the switch is the light associated with a fan and wired into that and not separate light

Yes it will, because it just acts like a light switch. That being said - I just used a standard light switch, because there is no need to circulate moist air through the crawl when it is humid out. Wire the switch into the house and turn it on when the weather is dry and the fan runs much less.

We put a dimmer switch (a toggle on wall) and use chain in the light for switching the fan speed. It works great. Of course, we had three wires running to the fan/light - a black, a red, and the white. We put the light on the red,and put dimmer in series with it, while the black wire is always hot (ie, no dimmer in the circuit) so the fan is "un-dimmer". You can install a fan/light dimmer remote device, but our light is in a guest room and we thought the remote might get lost (too many grand kids etc visiting).

I works well but do set a clicker like the ones used for ceiling fans to be able to turn it on and off without a wall switch. Also clean it up frequently by wiping dust out if the grid and fans

yes. a timer can be used. typically, the timer would be used to control just the fan motor if you have separate switching for light, but I suppose you could time out both at same time if a light is included.

I guess you could wire the fan and the light to the fan side of the switch. When you switched the switch off, it would seem like nothing is happening, but it would just activate the timer.
