[QUOTE="mrbob123, post: 532613, member: 34218"] Completely agree with your comments at the end there Sharpend! I see tech slightly philosophically, as anything digital or not that makes our life better. Often the simplest stuff is best , "tech" that just works! It was not my intention to thrust anything in your face. This is part of my own exploration of technology and what it can and can't do and whether it does actually improve our lives or not. So far I've learnt very little stuff commercially available is actually smart and would actually improve your quality of life! I'm not an electrician but have been toying with these smart switches for a while , hence my thoughts were from this perspective. I just ultimately want to solve the problem! And I thought that by posting here I might also better understand the wiring and how it works in the process. Unfortunately we are both relatively short and need a ladder to get to the isolation switch which makes it extremely inconvenient to do every night. I'll look into humidity controlled fans , thanks I wasn't aware that these existed! I've been using home assistant for the last 3 years , so already have all the setup and switches etc. I'm also a fan of cost effectiveness and if a £5 switch word save me from buying a £70 humidity controlled fan then I'd go the first way! How do I figure out which wires the fan connects to? I'm presuming the switch switches between fan connected and just lights connected. If I was to replace with a 2 gang , where would the existing wires go onto the 2 gang switch? [/QUOTE]
