| I'd like to buy a timer switch for the exhaust fan. The Levinton 1800W 10-20-30-60 minute timer sold on Amazon had many complaints of loud buzzing sound after several months to 3 years.
Leviton LTB60-1LZ Decora 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 10-20-30-60 Minute Countdown Timer Switch,White/Ivory/Light Almond Homedepot sells Levinton 500W 10-20-30-60 minute timer. But reviews said it only works for incandescent light but not for exhaust fan.
I'd like to have a plate with GFCI outlets, dimmer switch to control lamps, and a timer switch to control exhaust fan (or just GFCI outlets and timer switch on one plate). But I could not find a proper timer switch. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated. |

| You need the first one as I told you before. I have both version of this switch and have not observed the complaints given. Actually the Home Despot (or was it Lowe's)) here had both versions. |

| I've put one of these in one of my bathrooms and have another ready for the other when I finish it. I don't know if you can get it in the US, but it works well and is silent. It works automatically when it senses humidity, but has a timer function when you hit the button. Not sure how long it runs. http://www.dewstop.com/ |
