I would like to use a humidity sensor/timer control switch (Lutron brand). Does the fan light require a separate switch?

Hi. My husband installed this, and we have it on two switches - one for the fan and one for the light. He could have put in three switches with one for the night light but we thought that was overkill :) So I am pretty sure you can wire all 3 things to one switch or do them individually, etc. So yes the fan light can be on its own switch or share. Hope that helps.

I can tell you that we put our unit on 3 separate switches: fan, night light, & bright light.

Yes. And the fan wiring is independent of the light wiring so they are controlled separately from wall switches.

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

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.

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.

The fan comes with a remote that has three speeds plus an off. The light only has on/off. I did not try to hard wire a dimmer switch since it came with the remote that provided the same end result.

Yes, I tried, but it didn't work. According to tech support at Delta and Lutron, the electronic switch manufacturer, the fan's current draw is way too low for the switch circuit design. I substituted an old-style (30 min) spring timer and it works fine. In another bathroom with a higher-amperage fan motor (Nutone, still a very quiet fan) I was able to use the Lutron electronic timer b/c the fan's current draw was slightly above the minimum needed to operate the switch.

I have this model connected to a toggle switch, so I turn it on when needed. I turn the bathroom light and fan on separately, though I could have had them wired together to go on all the time. However, since it is a powder room, I do not need to use the fan every time I turn on the light. I could also have used a motion sensor switch to turn on both simultaneously, but thought that was overkill for my particular installation.This model does not have a humidity sensor, but that is available in the model number ending with "ACH".Hope this helps.

Yes a single pole switch will work.The wall switch will send the power to the the light and fan, the pull chains will turn the light and fan on as well as control the fan speed.If you choose to set the pull chains to the on positions, then you can turn the light and fan on and off using the wall switch.With you use this switch you will need 14/3 wire to control the fan and light separately .

Lutron makes a large selection of switches for different functions. If you just wanted the other switch to control lighting, they make single-control switches that would be more appropriate. There are different varieties for controlling LCD/CFL lighting that can be dimmed as well as switches for conventional incandescent bulbs. Amazon lists them all. They are similar in design and functionality to this Lutron fan/light control and would be a good match visually as well as functionally.

Yes, we have three switches. One for the regular light. One for the fan. One switch is the timer switch for the heat. Hope this answer helps.

not as out of the box, you would have to buy a motor control unit, I remember back in my electrical days we would install one for celling fans to control but they can be a little pricey, do not buy a sliding light dimmer switch as these will fail and are made to dim lighting only. hope this helps: http://www.lumens.com/wall-mount-wired-fan-control-wc105-by-minka-aire-fans-R032740.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=google&utm_term=&kwid=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071

I suppose but there are other alternatives for that. This is designed for a fan light combo and has 5 wires to operate both fan and light. If you only need a timer switch any home center or hardware store should have that.

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

I believe you will need an additonal switch. On this unit, there is a switch that I used to control the light. Then there is the automatic/manual switch used to control the vent fan. I don't have a nightlight, but I use a seperate timer switch to control the heater built into my vent/light/heat unit.B. Wood

No, you will need a separate switch to control the light function. In one of my bathrooms I have a light built into the fan and I have a separate switch to control the light along side this fan control. This is a very good fan control switch and I think you will like the features and functionality. The only issue that some don't like is the green LEDs that are illuminated (one is always on. if the unit is off, the main buttonLED is on and the last default time LED is also on. If the unit is on then the button time that is selected is on. Some are concern about this at night, but it's kind of a night light for me. I hope this helps.

No. You have to go with a Lutron special ceiling fan control. They make several, e.g. the Lutron MA-FQ4FM-AL Maestro Digital Fan Control. You have to use a canopy module that comes with it.
