Broan SSQTXE080 & SSQTXE110

[Exten]

I see these fans listed as devices in my ISY. I have a bad humidity problem and want to put in the

80CFM fan in a bathroom. I've read the Broan blurb about "intellisense" and I don't think I really

want the Broan concept. I will most likely have 2 of these fans, but they prolly won't be linked

together in any intelligent fashion via Broan lingo (so to speak....).

 

I am not concerned with overall house ventilation requirements and tying the 2 fans together.

I just need humidity removal from a bathroom.

 

So it looks like there is really just an Insteon control running the fan. Does/can it respond to humidity?

Could I turn the fan on/off with the ISY using a timeslot as the deciding factor? Kinda looks like these

are my 2 best choices:

 

1: Turn the fan on for an hour starting at 10:PM - turn it off at 11PM.

 

2: Turn the fan on/off with humidity, in an on demand fashion.

 

Is this doable by using the ISY as a controller?

 

Looks to me like the Broan eco-system does not use humidity as a deciding factor - just CFM

and square footage of your house, coupled with run times. I guess the 2 fans can chat which

I don't really think I'm interested in.

 

Anyone have these fans and how have they worked out and is it a true insteon control

and is humidity a factor ? Are there advantages to BroanSpeak that I am not seeing?

 

And if there are any kool options and setups one can do in the ISY when these fans are

integrated with the ISY could someone please post a screenshot of what these things are?

Are we just talking basic on/off control...or does the ISY fully interact using Broan lingo?

 

Maybe I completely misunderstand BroanSpeak and it actually does do what I need in the

way of basic humidity removal from a bathroom?

 

Thx.
