I=E2=80=99m not familiar with x-10 but I assume you will be using like a con=
troller for a table lamp where the output is a socket. If you have a control=
ler with isolated contacts it=E2=80=99s even easier.=20

If you want the x-10 to override  the thermostat so that the fan runs until y=
ou turn it off, all you need to do plug a relay into the controller & wire i=
ts normally open contacts across the thermostat.=20

I was wondering if there was a way that I can have it on a  thermostatic swi=
tch AND a remote switch (like X-10)=20

What happens is that  I want to turn on the fan on some nights or days, but i=
t isn't hot enough to trigger it to go off.  If I reduce the temperature set=
ting, it stays on most on the time.=20

But I do want it to go on if it gets too hot when I'm not home.=20

Is there anything like this on the market?  I also couldn't figure out how t=
o wire 2 separate switches safely to accomplish this.=20

Any ideas?=20

Thanks.=20
