I have an attic fan that I would like to control either via the
thermostat or manually. I'd like to connect a single pole, triple
throw or single pole, center off switch (SPTT/SPCO) to control the
fan. Does anyone make something like this that would look ok for a
home wall installation? Most I've seen look like a hobby electrical
kit's toggle switch.

You can get single pole double throw center off switches that look like
standard wall switches, but I believe I've only seen them in 30 amp. In
any event, they were expensive


The above link is the Decora style, I presume they also make a
traditional-switch version one as well but didn't look specifically.

5685-2T

Description
15 Amp-120/277 Volt AC. Single-Pole, double throw, center OFF, back and
side wired maintained contact switch rocker. Light Almond

I doubt it's particularly expensive altho I didn't try pricing it.

--How's this for cheap:
