Hi, I'm just investigating options for my bathroom refit.
If a Quinetic rf switch was to be used, using the supplied self adhesive pads onto tile, assuming the bathroom walls become wet due to the shower.
Do the sticky pads stay stuck? Has anyone any experience of them coming off please?

There will be a fan but I still expect some mist in there.


 
yes, it will be stuck onto tile.
I'm trying to get a switch inside with no electrics and without having to cutout the tiles.
 
Yes they stay stuck mines been stuck on my tile for 2 years now.
 
I have used industrial Velcro for some applications. It is massively hard to part items once pushed together,, it’s more like Lego than Velcro

It's not the pulling apart of the Velcro (as you say, very difficult) which is the potential issue but, rather, the sticking of the Velcro onto the tile (or whatever). However, there are also some pretty strong adhesives around!
 
Cheers folks, now I have some Quinetic users in here I'm thinking of getting a dual switch.

Paired with a dual receiver:

Would I be right in thinking that then gives me 2 separate switches that can control 2 independently controlled outputs?
I want a light on one and fan on the other.

The reason: Youngest (adult) son sleeps next door to the bathroom and gets peed off if there is a noisy fan (although I kinda think he can just put up with it lol), so I was thinking light on one switch, hit the other switch if your gonna make a smell or use the shower and when you exit you can turn both off and the fan timer then kicks in.
 
OKidoki, after watching a video my answer is yes - they will be independent of each other.
