Hi,
Looking for a cheap but reliable solution.
I want a fan to turn on when my thermostat is on. Is there a gizmo
that would do that for me. My fan is line voltage.
Yes, there are several different ways you could get that to work, but I
don't have enough information to suggest any in particular.
The best solution will be found by consulting with your electrician.

Hi Jon,
Thanks a lot.
Please suggest one if you can. For example, something that would turn on
an outlet when the thermostat turns on.
Thanks again

What you want is a relay, where the 12 volt line from your thermostat
closes a switch to allow 120 v house current to flow. I would guess
that such things are available at your local electrical supply store,
although I've never used one myself.

How do you know that he has a 12 volt line from his thermostat?
Most are 24 volts AC.
