<div dir="ltr"><div>Yep lots of ways to do this. If you want it really user-friendly (but maybe not 100% reliable) go insteon. Get the smart hub a temps sensor a relay module and a wireless remote. Set up a custom program to turn on the fan at a pre-set temperature. Then set up a manual program to turn the fan on/off with the wireless remote. Then spend the next several years not being able to find the remote when you need it. <br></div><div>Personally, I would do this using an Arduino, a wireless remote module and a temp sensor. Even if you have never worked with this stuff, it is pretty easy to learn. It requires some wiring and some coding, but there are plenty of tutorials online to get you started. My favorite site for this is <a href="http://adafruit.com">adafruit.com</a></div><div>I would get something like this <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/393">https://www.adafruit.com/product/393</a> for a temp sensor. And use a tutorial like this guide (the arduino part) to read temperature: <a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/dht">https://learn.adafruit.com/dht</a> then get something like this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/INKBIRD-Solid-State-SSR-40DA-24-380V/dp/B00HV974KC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=solid+state+relay&qid=1596113629&sr=8-3">https://www.amazon.com/INKBIRD-Solid-State-SSR-40DA-24-380V/dp/B00HV974KC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=solid+state+relay&qid=1596113629&sr=8-3</a> for a relay to control the fan and something like this: <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/1096">https://www.adafruit.com/product/1096</a> for a wireless remote.</div><div><br></div><div>If you prefer python to C then look at the CircuitPython stuff on adafruit's web site. <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 30, 2020 at 7:34 AM <<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com">eric@megageek.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I have an attic fan that is on a thermostatic

<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I was wondering if there was a way that
I can have it on a thermostatic switch AND a remote switch (like
X-10)</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">What happens is that I want to
turn on the fan on some nights or days, but it isn't hot enough to trigger
it to go off. If I reduce the temperature setting, it stays on most
on the time.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">But I do want it to go on if it gets
too hot when I'm not home.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Is there anything like this on the market?
I also couldn't figure out how to wire 2 separate switches safely
to accomplish this.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Any ideas?</font>
