Hi All,
Currently got a timer ceiling extractor fan in the bathroom. It has its own isolator switch above the door which is always set to on and then its also hooked up to a 4 gang switch next to the door (rest are different lights) - before we had the bathroom done a couple of years back it was only ever controlled by the isolator switch so no sure why this extra switch was added?
When we have a shower we hit the switch on the 4 gang by the door, the fan kicks in and then after the shower we turn the 4 gang switch back off and the fan eventually turns itself off after the set amount of time.
Now im going to install one of the humidity sensor ones so that it switches on/off based on humidity levels, therefore I want it on all the time and would like to revert back to just using the isolator switch therefore disconnecting the other switch on the 4 gang panel.
Im not bothered about swapping the 4 gang for a 3 gang if it means having to fit a smaller 3 gang switch half the size and then filling in a hole (unless the do a 3 gang the same size as a 4?), so im happy to just disconnect it and have a dumb switch, but where will it be connected to at the other end?
Im guessing that if it was only ever operated by the isolator switch in the past I just need to disconnect this extra connection?
