    Ok the first thing you need to do is have the powder room fan and light as seperate circuits.

    The first thing you need to do is to open the properties of the switch that you are going to use to operate this function.

    You now need to select the "key function" tab. On this tab you need to change the mode for each press.

    Short press - Idle
    Short release - on key
    Long press - retrigger timer
    long release - Idle

    Next you need to go the the "blocks" tab.

    on this tab you need to change

    block 1 to the light circuit, 1 second on the timer and expires to the off key and tick the box in column 1 of "keys using blocks"

    block 2 to the fan circuit. Enter the time that you want the fan to run on for example 5 minutes on the timer. expires to the off key and tick the box in column 1 of "keys using blocks"

    press ok or apply.

    when using this setup a short press of the button will turn on both the light and fan at once. a long press will turn off the light and then the fan will run on for the time set.

    Cheers

    There is actually an example of how to do this in the Toolkit help now!

    Search on "control of lights and fans with timers".
