I meant the Delayed Timer Module - DTM. Just like the TM, only it doesn't kick in if the fan is only powered for a short time, to allow for "quick visits" without the fan starting up.
But unfortunately that "short time" is only 2 minutes, and many "quick visits" last longer than that.

Ahh you mean the following
DTM Module (B)
I get what you are saying now.
TBH, it is a long time since a dump only took me 2 mins. Mind you, it is a long time since a pee only took me 2 minutes. In my local pub, the only two people that take longer than me to pee, both of them have stage 4 prostate cancer.
Ouch! That would seem to be far too big, for a normal, domestic bathroom.

That's a 6" (150mm) fan! Great for a big kitchen,
BAthrooms/etc would only deserve an ICON15, and - as the OP is replacing an existing fan - a 4" duct will already be in place.
I can't remember a time when I was that quick. Mug of tea, newspaper....
I saw a house once on Grand Designs, which was isolated and had a lot of land, and the guy built a semi-outside loo. It was indoors, but had one opening side, (or possibly one and 2 x halves in a U-shape) which he would open up if the weather permitted.
Timed myself earlier - I can be in and out in 2 minutes. Doubt any woman could.
Shame about the cancer - when are men going to recognise the signs in time?
To not have to fork out for the DTM module (i was not aware of the 2 min max time limit, this would have definetly sold it to me to implement my own solution), I fitted a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 device in the wiring that waits 10 mins upon power on and then turns on power to the fan, problem solved.
You can either control it through its own timers on the device or through Alexa or Home Assistant triggers.

Or just replaster the walls and ceiling, adjust the angle of the floor and any work surfaces so it all matches the angle...A large whiskey will make it look straight enough
OK, don't then.
Yeah, probably overkill.
Bet the door flies open, when the fan starts
It is an outward opening door, but yes, if the door is an inch from closed, the door does move towards closed. Were it not for the tubular mortice latch, I suspect it would close fully.
I've got a Soler & Palau TD350 which hopefully I'll finally get installed this weekend - should I be worried?
