Welcome to the community.
I like the idea, I will put it on my list to doā¦

Hi Blacky. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with the community. Iām new with HA. The temperature control automation turned the fan on when the sensor reached the rising-value temperature and turned it off after the max_run_time. However, it has not turned it on again even when the temp is still above the threshold. Since the temp in the garage is above 80F during summer, my idea is turning the fan on for 30 min periods, if possible wait x minutes, then turn it back on while the temp is above limit otherwise the fan will stay on forever.
Firstly welcome to the community
Currently it does not have that feature but I can see what you are trying to do. Remember I am just reading this in 1 min and replying so I am trying to get my head around it. I value your feedback.
If you turn the fan ON because it is above 80F and then turn it OFF and it is still above 80F to then wait and turn it ON again like a cycle what are you gaining as apposed to just not turning it ON in the first place. Are you just trying to save power so that when it can bring the temp down, it can (due to night fall or a change in the weather conditions) because it just keeps trying? It could also reduce annoying fan noise and ware and tare on your fan I am one for saving power not only for the cost saving but it is just a good thing to do. The more I type it is not a bad idea. I will put it on the list to do.
Let me know your thoughts and thanks for your kind words.

Would it be possible to add the same bypass logic here as in the sensor light blueprint?
I am trying to use this blueprint for my ceiling fans and would like to have multiple bypass on and off situations.
Hi Fred, I not sure what version you are on but the blueprint has same bypass as the sensor light. Try updating, just click on the blue button above as it will update it.
Blacky
Iām on 1.8. The sensor light has check boxes for the bypass (so I can choose multiple) and allows input for more then one sensor. This exhaust fan blueprint only has one bypass option? Do I overlook something?
O yes your right I havenāt updated it. I will put it on the list to look at. I am going to do a blueprint just for ceiling fans. Not sure if someone has done one already but I normally just make my own one.
Blacky
Awesome, looking forward to it!
It would be nice when you have something for the Fan-Speed too.
Example: When the Temp is higher than 26C set Fan-Speed to high, when lower as 25,5 set fan-speed to low
heres a list:
- "auto"
- "min"
- "low"
- "medium"
- "high"
- "max"
I have totally changed this blueprint here and it has everythingā¦ I just havenāt released it yet.
Blacky
Than i wait for the Release
No problem. I am away on a holiday for a few days and have a few more things I would like to do so I canāt give you a time line.

Hello, I use as a trigger a Smart Plug seen by H.A. as a light as an entity and it is not detected by your blueprint neither as a device nor as an entityā¦ The module is: AduroSmart-ERIA smart plug ( dimmer)ā¦
Do you have a solution to be able to use your Temperature Control Exhaust Fan program with this device?
Hello, I modified the yaml code of the Blueprint by adding light and it works.: "description: Enter the fan you would like to turn ON. Can be any switch you
like.
selector:
target:
entity:
-domain:
-switch
- light
- fan
"
It sounds like blackys updated blueprint has all options when it will be released
Hey, any news for the updated blueprint?
I have been working on another blueprint adding features. I will have a look at this one again as I would also like to add one more feature to it before I release it.
Blacky
This update restructures the blueprint to unify all fan control options into one comprehensive solution. Youāll still have access to all the features from the previous version, but with an improved and streamlined setup.
It will create a new blueprint so it is not a breaking change.
Hope you like it.

@Blacky from what I can see, great looking blueprint. Thank you! Iām wondering what the best approach would be for what I call āwinterā mode. When things cool down outside, switching the ceiling fan to clockwise and running at low speed pushes the warm air down and reduces on heating. Iād like to be able to run the fan on low if below X temp and off if above. My vision is a helper that can be turned on to activate winter mode. Kind of the opposite logic behind normal fan operation. Is that what Heat Transfer Mode is? If not, is this something you could consider implementing in a future revision?
I havenāt developed it in this blueprint. Maybe this blueprint will be better for winter mode Temperature Control Exhaust Fan - Inverted.
