1-switch + 1-timer in one box?
wrote:
Is there such a beast - switch that has both a single-pole switch and a
timer?
Why - I need a timer on the exhaust fan. Current config of nutone
bath-fan with 4 switches in a double gang box is:
* fan, exhaust
* heater
* light
* night-light
There is no room for more boxes. So, I have two choices to accomplish
this:
1. hot wire the night-light, which frees one box for a standard wall
timer
2. find switch that has both a single-pole switch and a timer.
I may not have understood your post correctly, but if there are four
switches in a double gang box then they each must be double switches, so
I don't understand how hot wiring the night-light frees up half of the
double gang box, isn't the third of the four switches still needed there?
What am I missing?
