In total it took 4 hours to install from opening up the box to turning on the fan. My install was a bit longer due to needing to cut through an unused attic floor and building something to hang the fan from. | ||

I modified posts from [this thread](https://norell.link/ItGwC) in the Home Assistant community. The main changes were around having two speeds and having a separate script to handle the speed changes. I also renamed the entities for each relay to reflect what they are doing high and low speed. | ||

Additional automations can be set up with the fan entity, like automatically turning on when the temperature outside is less than the temperature inside and at least 1 window is open. It can also be automatically turned off if the windows are closed. The options are endless. | ||

## Review | ||
|

We have seen a dramatic improvement in the temperatures inside the house when turning it on. We can feel a breeze near the windows that are open and actively drawing in air, and the attic temperature drops to the same temperature as the house when running. I was expecting to see the temperature to drop even closer to the outside temperature, but I assume the thermal mass of the house is still holding on to a lot of heat energy. | ||

The fan was turned on the first time at 10PM on July 14th, and you can quickly see the the attic temperature drop. The previous night, July 13th, you can see the attic temperature stay well above the house temperature, keeping the house feeling warm. At night, a noticeable breeze is present in the house when the fan is running on low, and we both have been getting better quality sleep. | ||
