I bought one of those decor wall switch sensors to run my bath fan above
my shower. I found out that the electronic ones are no good to use with
a fan only. The fan comes on and off by itself.......nothing on the
package said anything about this.
Anyways the bottom line is the switch needs minimum 40 watts resistive
on the circuit all the time to work properly.
I assume there is allways a little current passing through the switch!
I plan on adding a pot light beside the fan but another bummer is that a
CF will mess up the switch as well... I have tested both incandesent and
a 15 watt CF with the fan on the circuit. When I put the inca light on
the circuit the fan runs faster.
I cant find a relay type locally here dam!
What are the problems with running a 60 watt bulb and fan on this switch
at the same time? Will the partly rectified ac burn out the fan etc?
