Best way to configure a light & fan with a 1 gang box?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

 

Right now, my guest bathroom has a single gang box. In that box it has a dual switch (non insteon). One switch for the fan, one switch for the light.

 

I have a Inline linc relay (non button relay) & either a keypad (my wife thinks they look ugly) or a regular switchlinc dimmer.

 

I was wondering what the best way to set this up is?

 

 

I think, I could goto the attic & cut the wire that goes to the fan, put it into a box & splice the inline linc relay into the mix. Then put the switchlinc in & figure a way to make on turn on the lights & double on turns on the fan too.

 

I also plan to put a motion sensor in for automation as well, but thats another story.

 

I dont think putting a dual box into the wall is in the picture for me.

 

Thanks for the advice,

 

Rich

Agreed! Don't cut the wall for a double-gang box.

 

KeypadLinc/Inline devices is the best combo to go with. Tell your wife the KeypadLinc is "only temporary" and you're waiting for this to be released:

Actually, I was doing some testing with some other devices & it seems pretty easy to make 1 tap (on) turn on the local light & then a program that will turn on the fan with 2 taps (fast on). Cool stuff! I am loving the ISY!
