I just ordered some whole house ventilation fans from Quiet Cool Whole House Fans.
I'm interested in having some automated control over the speed of the fans.
I'm assuming (right or wrong) that it's not a good idea to use a dimmer control on one of these.
Does anyone have suggestions for automated speed control of these fans? They're 120VAC, 150 watts.
I'd prefer something with a control input in the form of dimmed VAC ouptut from something like an Insteon dimmer, a DC control voltage (from Elk zone output), or RS485.
I have an Elk1M gold, some Elk temperature probes, an ethernet RS485 interface and custom software running on a PC that I'll use to tie it all together.
Thanks,
-- Mike
