Hi,
I have a request for experienced forumers.
I am starting the adventure of automating devices in the house. At the moment I have an HA and a sub switch on zigbee for a light on the stairs.
I would now like to automate the fan in the bathroom and toilet.
This is where the question arises. Is there a switch with a built-in light and possibly moisture sensor?
Stopping at the toilet. My expectation for the fan is:
when the light is switched on "switch on" (I have a toilet without external windows so switching on the light is sufficient signal that the fan should be switched on)
when the light goes out, "wait a set time and switch off".
A simple thing assuming we have a total non smart fan.
One light or presence sensor +switch, e.g. SONOFF Basic.
And although I don't currently know how to put it all together to make it work, I assume I can figure it out... step by step.
The problem is that it's a lot of elements, each one looks different, each one has either a battery or a cable. Generally it doesn't look attractive and I'd have to think hard to hide it.
In the bathroom, additional data such as humidity. so an additional sensor.
Is there a switch with a built-in sensor? I don't know something that will have an input at 230 and a controlled output.... depending on various parameters... e.g. lighting, humidity etc.
Assuming of course that... the price is reasonable... or is the option between some expensive smart fan or a sensor sticky?
Many thanks for your help
