Twist on programing an exhaust fan!!!
Hi all
I have an exhaust fan home run to an rpm4u module. Initially it was to be controlled by a keypad in the bathroom which eventually got eliminated. There are three smart switches controlling local lights in the bathroom. Is there a way I can program the fan to go on through the status of one of the smart switches. For example switch A is turned on and the fan, (I imagine through a variable), goes on, and goes off when the switch turns the light off.
I am sure this isn't the first time this has come up, can someone point me to a similar issue somewhere else in the forum? This would be my first variable
Thanks for your help!
Would like to add one more twist.

You then navigate to any of those devices in bath you want to add the fan load too. you can also add off delay on the fan so it stays on a little longer
Perfect that worked but it was a little hard to find the show all dimmers. The fan is noisy, and might disturb the sleep of the kids. How do I create a conditional that allows the fan to work only between 6 am and 10 pm?
Thanks again
