Hello - I'm brand new here and I'm hoping this is the best place to post a question I can't find an answer to anywhere on the 'net... but I may admittedly be looking in the wrong places.
I have a whole house fan (tamarack hv1000) that requires the use of an SPST switch. The fan itself needs to constantly have power, as when the switch is thrown off, it needs power to close its insulating doors.
When I purchased the fan, I didn't realize it constantly needed power. My plan was to connect the fan to my home security / automation system via a zigbee outlet controller, so that I could operate it in the same way I operate other lighting and devices in my house.
So my question is - is there any device or method anyone can think of that would allow me to connect or simulate an SPST switch to the outlet controller, so that when the outlet controller is turned on, the SPST switch is thrown on, thus turning on the fan -- and when the outlet controller is turned off, the SPST switch is thrown off?
Thanks!
