The only thing that is going to shine on DaNgEr is his ass from
falling on it so many times.

The vision pro stats should allow you to program the fan for each time
period you set up( up to four periods per day) I know the commercial ones do
and I'm pretty sure the resi's do too. This should allow you to do the 5:30
to 7:30 time period.

That one looks like it does the job. Also has a feature which will turn
on the fan for the current period only. This would save me a few $$$
when my wife forgets to turn off the (2HP) fan before going out for the day.

Thanks.

Bought the 1f95-371 on eBay, but apparently it is only for multi-stage
heating/cooling systems. What's the difference and can it be used with
a regular system?

One thing I noticed is that it doesn't take batteries and there was no
display when I hooked it up. I hooked up the R to the "R" terminal,
which already had a red wire in it which goes over to a jumper (along
with a black wire, which goes from the jumper to the "C" terminal).

I suspect this is going to have to go back on eBay. No?
