Had something similar happen in our bathroom—sensor was right next to the shower, seemed logical at first. But every hot shower triggered the fan nonstop. Moved it outside the immediate steam zone, problem solved. Definitely underestimated how sensitive placement can be...
"Definitely underestimated how sensitive placement can be..."
Yeah, placement is way more critical than most people realize. When we renovated our master bath, I initially thought putting the humidity sensor near the shower made perfect sense—catch the steam right at the source, right? But just like you, it ended up running constantly, even after quick showers. After some trial and error (and a bit of frustration), I moved it closer to the door area, away from direct steam exposure. Made a huge difference.
Honestly, builders and even some electricians don't always think through these small details. They're focused on code compliance and aesthetics, but practical functionality sometimes slips through the cracks. It's worth taking the extra time to test sensor locations before finalizing installation—saves headaches down the road.
"builders and even some electricians don't always think through these small details."
Yeah, exactly. When we built our place, the electrician put the fan switch right next to the light switch—seemed logical at first, but guests kept turning on the fan instead of the lights. Little things matter more than you'd think...
