I wonder if there is a fan, or a wall switch for one, that includes a
timer. What I would like is to have it run a set time, like 30 min.,
for showers and then shut off automatically. Is there such a thing?

Try www.airshack.com. They have nice, quiet Broan units that have the
humidity sensor. When the wall switch is in the on position it turns
on automatically when someone is using the shower, and then shuts
itself off automatically after a few minutes. By flicking the wall
switch off then on you can turn the fan on manually as well.
You can adjust the humidity sensitivity for the sensor and the shut off
time on the unit. Uses standard wall switches and costs about $125 if
I remember correctly.
The ones I found at the big box stores were waaaay too loud for my
tastes.

Intermatic and AMF paragon are the names on the two we have. They are a
simple spring driven timer, like a kitchen timer, that replaces the
on/off switch. You can set them for any period up to the maximum. From
experience, I would go with a 60 minute model; you can always set it for
less if you need less.

In addition to the standard timers others have mentioned, you might be
interested in a "time-delay off" switch such as this one:
<http://www.energyfederation.org/consumer/default.php/cPath/39_766_134>
It's a switch which when shut off still runs the fan for an additional
period of time, settable from 1 to 60 minutes. There is also an
additional switched power lead which shuts off immediately, in case
you wish to control a light and a fan from the same switch. I'm quite
happy with mine. One "feature" which is not described in the
documentation is that if power comes on after a power failure and the
switch is off, the fan still runs for the time delay period.
Cheers, Wayne
