[Shop-talk] attic fan switches (does this exist?)

[Donald H Locker]

I would think a simple single-pole switch wired with its contacts in
parallel with the thermostatic switch contacts would do the job.

                   /
              |--o/ o--|       Bedside switch
              |        |
              |  ____  |
Line (Black) ----o  o----...---Fan motor (That's a t'stat switch in-line)

Donald.
