Which timer switch works with this fan to turn on the light & fan at the same time?

An addition of info. The switch is a Lutron Maestro MAL3S25LA and is from Mr Supply. Pricey but it is two switches in one.

I'm not certain, and I can't reach the person who installed this for us. I'm sorry. They are both connected only to the second light in our bathroom and both turn on at the same time. Have you tried reaching out to Hunter, the light company?

I don't know why any "timer" switch wouldn't work, but, if you pigtail both switch legs together any single pole switch will work.

Not an electrician but I believe it would be how it is wired. I used a timer for the fan and a dimmer switch for the light. The one I used fits in single box and the timer and switch are half size one above the other. I believe they are Leviton but could have been Lutron. I ordered them online from a specialty electrical supplier since the tandem switch was not available thru the box stores. I'm very happy with my choice. I believe this model has been discontinued. Too bad because I have three .... one in each bathroom and was hoping to put one in the powder room. Alas. Hope this info helps. PS - If you are not well versed in the electrical world, I'd suggest using a licensed electrician. Not an electrician but I believe it would be how it is wired.

We hooked ours up with separate switches - one for the light and one for the fan as most of the time, we don't use both. So sorry, I don't know the answer to this question.

There are two buttons: Timer on/off; light on/off. You can turn timer on/off separately from lights on/off.

Not that I've discovered. It will simply turn the fan on at different speeds and off and then turn the light off and on.

We have the fan and light on two different switches. The fan is either on/off and the heater/light is on a timer. We had an electrician friend help us.

yes. a timer can be used. typically, the timer would be used to control just the fan motor if you have separate switching for light, but I suppose you could time out both at same time if a light is included.

There is a separate lead for the light and fan. If you have two switches, you can have the fan and light separate.

If you replace a ceiling light with the fan, you can switch this on and off with your wall switch, just turn the fan and the light on when you initially set it up. They sell wall switches that can act like the remote, so you can change the fan speed and choose to turn the light on or off, while the fan is still running.

That depends on whether you want the fan to always be on when the light is on. I have two switches since I don't always want the fan on when my room is lighted. I have the fan on a timer and the light on a switch. It works well because I do not have to go back and turn off the fan when there is moisture in my bathroom. My timer goes from 0 to 60 minutes, so I can set it to what I feel is appropriate.

I am still able to use the light switch. I think it should still work for any type of fan.

Ourchouse is old , so I have a rocker switch--the light and fan are on or off.

Yes there is a switch inside the fan housing that you set so that it is just on and off look in the instructions for proper setting. I would install timer switch such as a Fan King see amazon it looks like a switch the timer is hidden by the switch plate. The fan needs to run longer to get the humidity out of the bathroom.

If you currently have only one switch both the fan and light will operate when the switch is turned on. If you have two wall switches currently, one that operates a fan and one that operates the light in the fan assembly then you will have the option to have only the light operating without the fan being on. If the second switch currently operates the lights over the sink then you will not have the option of light only in the fan assembly.

It should, however, I wonder if what you are trying to say is that if the same switch turn the fan and the light at the same time, or if you have two switches one for the light and the other for the fan? Mine, I have it installed with one switch and turns both the light and the fan, however since I also have recessed lights in this room, I have decided to leave the lights of the fan off and only use the fan. Hope this helps you.

I used two single pole switches. I wired the light and fan on one and the night light on the other. If you need one that's on a timer or humidity sensing I'd go to Panasonic Web sight and see what they would suggest.

I don't really understand the question. Can you please clarify. There is one switch for light and one for fan. One thing I don't like about this switch is you have to go all the way up (bright) before coming down to dim light. There is not enough control in dimming back and forth. Fan speed is direct and easy to use.

It is best to have unswitched power to the fan unit, a two function switch would work well with the lights.

You need a standard light switch to control the light. But you also need this to be hooked directly to continuous power as the fan needs to be able to turn itself on due to motion and/or humidity. There is a dual connection on the fan to accommodate this.
