Great result.and paradoxically keeps the house warmer
I closed the vents in the bedrooms, but have left the vents in the habitable rooms open, so the warm air moves from these to the bedrooms, and the en-suites. Prior to this the outside air was coming directly into the bedrooms.Good idea except for closing the vents, you still need to allow fresh air into the property
Yes, three were ceiling fans, one was through a wall.the fans you were replacing were they ceiling fans?
Agreed, unless there is wiring in place already, or you can get away with extending an existing circuit, by law you will need an electrician.Unless you are comfortable with this type of work, I'd strongly advise getting an electrician, as there are specific rules around electricity and bathroom zones.
I thought you'd closed all your vents. I'm not sure the layout of your house but you still need ffresh air supply to bedrooms when you're sleeping. Aereco (and I'm sure others) do humidity controllred vents including trickle vents for windows, which are closed most of the time but open when the humidity in the room increases to allow fresh air in.I closed the vents in the bedrooms, but have left the vents in the habitable rooms open, so the warm air moves from these to the bedrooms, and the en-suites.

Wife, who is more sensitive to these things, agrees the bedrooms/bathrooms smell fresher.
And Micks'r while you are correct, these were only fitted last week, so it is too soon for the fabric etc. to dry out. Any change now is due to increased/improved ventilation (as you said).
I've a few of the https://www.amazon.co.uk/SNZB-02-Temperature-Humidity-Compatible-Including/dp/B08BFW697F/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2O6ND7142039&keywords=humidistat%2Bsonoff&qid=1670861494&sprefix=humidistat%2Bewelink%2Caps%2C1700&sr=8-4&th=1 (Sonoff) ones and they work well enough with the eWeLink app.My last thing is to get a few himidistats to check things.
Hi @BuddyboyHi PensionPlans,
absolutely no problems so far, and still happy with them. They seem to be doing the job. The one in our ensuite definitely reacts to humidity. On occasion my wife turns off the fan switch from force of habit. All this does is lose the silent running setting, all other settings remain. All that is needed is to reconnect it via bluetooth to the phone and it resyncs the silent mode times (I assume it does not have an inbuilt clock).
I want to pick up a few humidistats to check the other room. The north facing bedroom which was the original problem definitely has had the humidity problem resolved. No more mould has appeared.
