Hi All,
Our daughter has a desk / wall mounted fan on the wall in her room and on the really hot nights she generally switches it on before climbing up to her high wall mounted bed.
I dare say there are times during the night when things cool down that she may prefer the fan off but can't be bothered to climb out and turn it off so I thought I'd investigate some of this X10 stuff?
Having said that I'm not sure I need to go X10 (if that suggests a broader remote control system?) but whatever we get needs to be able to cope with a fan as a load rather than a simple light bulb etc.
Another feature on the wish list might be a delayed 'off' (like a communal lobby light switch) but still with remote on / off override)?
I had thought of rigging a series of string controlled 'fingers' that actually accurate the buttons on the fan (Off / 1 / 2) that terminate over her bed .. ;-)
All the best ..
