I have a humidity sensor on mine. Problem is, there are a day or two per year when humidity in house gets 60% or more. Fan stays on.
I didn't have a problem with timer or manual, but other users forget to turn things on.
My fan is in the attic. All I hear is shhhhhhh. I have to listen closely.

Just measured sound with my HF DVM. About 50 dB 3 feet away. Supposed to be
100 cfm.Greg
Yeah, I just installed a 110cfm Panasonic with motion and humidity sensor in the bathroom I'm doing. I still haven't finished the shower so I'm not sure how I'll set the humidity sensor but the motion sensor seems sensitive enough to switch on for a mouse. While the new fan is not actually silent it is sure miles ahead of the old Nutone I put in ten years ago. Right now the only regret is that I didn't search out one with a built-in night light (pretty sure that they make one) but that is a minor thing since I found a GFCI with a built-in LED nightlight last week.
I have a case where an elecctronic timer with a neutral which switches a re lay as well as an X10 relay switch with neutral isn't working to switch a 1
50 watt LED (not 150 W "equivalent" but an actual 1.25 amp 150 watt load). They will switch the relay and turn the light ON but it drops out shortly a ftwerwards.The timer worked fine with a 100 watt LED but refused when I replaced it wi th the 150Watt flood. Timer is rated for 1800 watts and even 8 amps reacti ve load.
The only explanation seems to be the distorted waveform caused by the nonli near switching supplies (3 in the 150 watt light but 2 in the 100 watt) cau ses the timer circuitry to drop the relay. I am trying to find out the THD and/or power fafctor of this light and also hope to look at the current an d voltage waveforms on a scope soon. It is a VERY odd problem!
Some fixtures and ceiling fans have a nasty device that does not allow lamps over a certain wattage. Two of my ceiling fans have such a device and will not play nicely with CFLs, etc. even though they a well under the wattage. When replacing the 3 incandescent lights with CFLs about 7 years ago, I noticed that the lights would come on and would shut off at some random time later. I eventually removed the device which was cleverly hidden in the fans's motor assembly. Recently, an engineer friend "fixed" some fixture's in a buddy's store which were behaving in a similar way.
To the OP. If the relayt in this device is connected directly to the power line. there is no reason it should not maintain power to the lights. In that case, it would appear the relay itself of circuit that triggers it, is defective.
On the other hand, if the power going to the light is going thru electronics, then there could be a number of issues.
If this was my problem, I'd just buy another timer. They are not that costly.
The workaround for X10 issues like this is to add a 7W incandescent nightlight to the circuit.
