I have a 120v (~100W) exhaust fan and a temperature controlled outlet, a humidity controlled outlet, and a timer. I know they make devices that do 2/3rds of what I want to do here, but I'm monitoring two areas and I want the fan to activate if any one of the many devices activate so I really need a custom solution. Originally I was thinking about 120V relays, but I'm wondering if the simplest way might be to plug 12V wall wort/power adapters into the switches outlets on these devices and use something like this device (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LESCI2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
which operates a 120V switch when 12V is applied on the trigger wires. Could I just splice the 12V trigger wires together or should I use diodes?
Is this a simple and safe way to go about this?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.
