Hi there.
I currently have a very basic bathroom extractor fan that is controlled with a manual switch - i.e. it was wired in independently of the light switch.
Basic as can be - pull the cord and the extractor goes on, pull again and it goes off.
The extractor is on the wall of a flat roof bathroom and the extractor ducting passes through a cavity wall (a permanent live feed runs from the ceiling rose, and down between the cavity to the extractor).
I have a Home Assistant server in my house and I was thinking about using it to control the fan automatically with a humidity sensor.
One of these would seem to do the trick:
though I wouldn't connect any manual switch.
My question is whether you think the device would be OK in the cavity wall - do you think it might get excessively hot or damp?
