I’ve been working on basic automation in my home for a little while but don’t know how to do something simple and it’s a little frustrating. Im hoping someone can help me out! I recently installed a Panasonic bathroom fan/light unit and the 4 button Aqara switch to control it. The three active buttons are used for the light, night light and fan. I’d like to set up the fan switch with a time limit, so if you turn it on it will run for 20 minutes then turn off. I’m using Apple Home(kit) as my primary interface. I have a presence sensor that I would like to use eventually but would still need just a basic timer function for the fan. I have the M3 hub and the switch is in Zigbee mode. Your help is appreciated! I’m happy to provide any additional information. Thanks!
Hello.
I have made such automation in combination with a temperature (humidity) sensor.
“On hood”
IF (to do anything)
-humidity is higher than 85%;
-button 1 is pressed
THEN
-turn on the fan (hood).
“Off hood”
IF
-Humidity is lower than 75%
THEN
-Delay 15 minutes;
-turn off the fan.
Explanation - if the humidity is lower than 75 then there is a delay and then off. If the humidity is higher - dehumidification occurs (some time period) then a delay of 15 minutes and then the fan is turned off.
