Hi and thank you for being here. I suspect my question is very simple for someone in the know. While I am experienced at wiring in general, I am a newbie to the world of relays. So my project/question is this.
I would like to have my digital thermostat start a fan (simple plug in fan like you'd buy at Home Depot) whenever it the thermostat triggers the air conditioning. I realize the solution is in a relay but exactly how should the relay be connected to the thermostat such that this works? (Just in case you're wondering why, the AC provides plenty of cooling for 2 rooms, so I am simply pushing air from 1 room to the next. I only want/need this fan to run when the AC is on).
I purchased A RIB2410 which has a 24 V coil and simple Open/Close circuit relay and hooking the fan to the relay is not a problem. Specifically, how might I wire the thermostat to the relay to accomplish this on/off task. The digital thermostat simply uses only the R, G, Y, W wiring to the A/C . (It is a combo AC/Heating unit, therefore the W).
So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
