Great, thanks Richard!

but as its only 0.2 - 30 A i didn't use it.
I have the wire only once through the transducer but apparently twice will increase the sensitivity (twice the input coil "windings").

Ooooh, that's fancy!
We tend to just open the front and back windows to establish a through-breeze!

Feltwell said:So now, as soon as you turn the shower on the extractor fan starts, no chance for the family to forget :twisted: - when your shower ends a timer takes over and it keeps running, after about 5 minutes the shower valve purges itself which conveniently resets the timer, so it runs for about 10 minutes in total.
Alternatively - next to the sink in the bathroom is a pullcord which looks like a 2nd light switch, pull that and it makes a momentary connection only and sets the fan off on a 5 minute timer - to purge the room of any lingering malodours from activities other than showering, shall we say.
