Hi Ray,
Thanks for the ideas. I am not using the two speed capability of the fan as I plan to only run it on high. Keeps the wiring simple.
The concept of this fan is pull in cold air at night to cool down house and attic, then shut it off in the morning and close up the house. For my North Idaho climate, this should greatly reduce need for air conditioning.
However it does get down into the low 40’s at night during times when it still hits the 80’s during the day. So if one turns the fan on when outside temp is in low 70’s and leaves it on until you get up, you can cool the house down too much. My thought is to use the smart switch/outlet in conjunction with a temperature sensor to stop the fan in early morning if temperature gets down to a certain level.
This is admittedly overthinking this, but I love this stuff!
