I had a girlfriend many years ago who asked me to disconnect the ventilation fan in her bathroom. When I asked why, she said, and I quote "That's for people who smell when they go to the bathroom".
This fellow human was literally telling me her shit don't stink. I was flabbergasted...
Using them for that is fine, but they are for getting the humid air out when you shower/bath!
LOL. Meanwhile I'm scheming to replace the switch in their bathroom with a motion sensor, because my housemates will just routinely stink up the entire hallway and shuffle back to bed. Like the switch is RIGHT THERE?! C'MON‽
Home automation master race checking in. Do it. I had the same issue so I replaced the switch with a relay paired with sensors for motion, humidity and, ahem, volatile organic compounds (eg stink, stenk, stunk and stank). It solved a number of issues.
That sounds AWESOME. I was just thinking of those little replacement motion sensor switches you sometimes see in public buildings but this sounds way cooler.
...Also sounds perfect for my other wishlist project: To make a vent system like this for the litter box to siphon all that inevitable dust and stank. X_X A sensor relay like that sounds PERFECT.
Not to be a mega newb but, know where I might start to look for something like this? 😅
Awesome
