Discuss How to use an extractor fan with a dimmer switch? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Humidistat is the way to go.Really appreciate all the answers, thanks all.
Umming and arghing between PM's idea of playing with the V-Pro or just putting in a sensor.
I'd be very interested in this 'hack' too...Yes, it can be done, but the dimmer module will need modification.
I initially tried to do this using the dimmed switch live from the dimmer to the SL of the fan. It sort of worked, but the fan took ages to be triggered, about a minute or more IIRC. Back to the drawing board.
The modification to the was easy enough to do, and worked perfectly. John Ward has a video on how to do it on old leading edge module, but the way I did it on a V-pro module was less faff. I'll PM you details.

Hi can you please pm me how to do this with a v pro dimmer to control a vent axia inline fan. ThanksYes, it can be done, but the dimmer module will need modification.

You mean put it in the lighting circuit at the light (so not affecting the existing wiring to the fan)?Hi, I have a similar issue in that I want to be able to dim the lights but make sure teh fan comes on. It is a timer fan so I assume it has its own power supply as it runs for a while after the light goes off. The switch is a pull cord one. I was wondering if something like this would work as it monitors a traditional switch input. I would then set the dimmer intensity in the software.
