Ok so step one for my attic was get the temp of it.. I have 2 attics due to the layout of the house...
now
i couldnt get a cat5 into the attic from the basement for the 1 wire temps..
but the oregon thc-138 sensors were too easy to put in...
now the delema is those temps are good to 140F... they have already got so hot that they give a Communication Link Failure and are down for a day or 2... but then they are fine again...
this is telling me it is time to go with attic fans..
so... what do you use?
automated or not?
I thought of going with the solar attic fans.... but lookin they are about $300-$500... now that is expensive but no electricity is needed and I dont know how I could have HS report status.....
so the standard ac attic fans are about $50-$75 and you wire them in.... so with that you could put a 2 way appliance module in and have it report on and off......
so im curious what yall are doing ..... also I was thinking of 1 side fan on what im guessing is called the gable? but you have the louvered spot on each side of the house.... can use 1 fan to push out.. which would draw in on the other side..... and also still use 1 attic roof fan......
sooooooo what to do?????
