[QUOTE="mrbob123, post: 532610, member: 34218"] Thanks for your posts. I presume you mean I could replace the isolator switch with a 2 gang switch? The isolator switch pictured above is located above the bathroom door frame, so not really an easily accessible place. The toilet light switch outside just has one cable running to it with the red , black and earth. I'm not sure I'd be able to put a 2 gang switch there without running extra wiring within the wall and not sure something I could DIY? Being able to turn the light on without the fan on is exactly what I'm after as you've described. It's very annoying and not needed all the time and a waste of electricity too. Playing with automation and tech is a hobby, no need to patronise, I was just asking for some advice. I was going to automate the fan based on humidity in the toilet. It would all be local so no internet needed. Any further pointers/tips? How can I seperate the fan from the lights? As the isolator switch is above the door frame then surely this would then be a decent use case of a smart switch maybe? Better use case than the toilet lights granted! [/QUOTE]
