This is probably TS cannot find the 240v spec switch in the 120v US shopping mall. biggrin.gif

Indeed this is not a really idea time delay switch. You have to use a switch and together this timer. So switch ON and rotate the timer. Probably after a while for lazy people, don't bother to turn it.

This is much more better --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELKAY-ENERGY-SAV...=item2a32077434

Just push the button and the timer will run together. The time delay is adjustable which you fix the minute at the behind switch. If you fix it at 2min, everytime you switch it on, it will run 2min delay than off.

But when I think back, there is 1 point of bad about this timer.

We go into the toilet but we don't no how long would be in the toilet. Shit half way and the time up! If we set it too long like 30min or more, that is waste of power.

The best is when go in, switch on but not the timer. Than finish our business, switch it off. Than the delay timer start to run.

my suggestion is for you to get a motion sensor, which is very common.
turn on when anyone goes in and you can set the non-motion delay time inside.

work fine with porch light.  nod.gif

Yup, I think this is a good idea.

Glad to see some feedback. But...

Motion sensor won't work for me. I want the ventilating fan to run for another 20~30 minutes after I leave the bathroom. The purpose is to suck out all the moisture after bath. This will prevent mold problem.

The PIR do have a setting timer till max 120min. After you leave the bathroom, the timer will delay till preset time before off it.

How about open up the window after bath? Let the natural air dry it. Will it work?

Just thinking some power saving way.
