Peter, at 73, I=E2=80=99m not as able to pick up net programming languages l=
ike I used to. I have some arduino applications that I need to build. After I=
finish my car restoration, hopefully this year, I=E2=80=99ll have time for p=
rogramming.=20
Keep well & cool. Only 95 here today. Better check the furnace!
Peace,

My solution is to have a switch in-line with the thermostat, in our upstairs=
hallway. When I don't want to hear the fan at 11pm, I switch it off.
My fan in my attic has the standard mechanical thermostat that came with it.=
I think I set it a hair too low, or the hysteresis is too broad, because it=
'll still be running at 11pm. Then again, we've had 27+ days of 90+ here in N=
orthern Virginia. It is nearly 11am here now and 89 degrees, and the fan is n=
ot on yet. (Hmm, did I turn the switch back on?)
I know, Pat's heart bleeds for me.
I like the idea of making operation of the fan a bit more sophisticated, but=
writing Arduino code is likely more than my wife, 3 kids under 8 and self-e=
mployment will allow. I'm looking at Home Assistant and some Z-Wave devices,=
but need to do more research before I start spending on hardware.
The problem I'd had was that I wanted the fan to run to reduce melting when w=
e had ice dams developing at the roof edge. Of course, the proper solution i=
s to improve my insulation up there!
