| Feb 18, 2019 at 16:37 | comment | added | Doug Hill | Thanks for the suggestion, Ed. I called Lutron about this device and it is essentially just two independent switches, unfortunately. The toggle switch controls on/off separately than the slider switch, which means a person could still turn the lights on without running the vent fan. | |
