    Timer fan off a dimmer switch?

    Has anyone done this successfully and if so how. I've read that fans run off the perm and use the switches as a trigger so assuming the dimmer outputs sufficient voltage to trigger the fan it should work, but in reality will It?

    Understanding a humidistat extractor fan with timer?

    I will be fitting an in line extractor fan in the loft to extract from a shower room.

    Which humidistat fan actually works?

    I have just installed the manrose humidistat fan from screwfix (15722) and it stays on all the time. I have adjusted the humidistat controls to no avail. Quite a few of the humidistat fans have poor reviews. Could anyone recommend one that they fit and it actually switches off at some point? Cheers.
