Exten Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 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.
