Turns on automatically after a power outage

I like the concept of this switch but it takes some time to get the right sensitivity. We've had it for over a year now and it works well. There are still cases where it should turn on automatically but won't turn on and vice versa. My biggest complaint about this switch is that in the event of a power outage, the switch will automatically start the fan when power is restored and stay on until the switch is manually turned off. We only became aware of this problem when we came back from a long holiday and the fan was running! I'm worried about possible overheating issues if the fan runs for weeks. We may need to replace the switch, but in the meantime we'll definitely turn the switch off if we're away for more than a few days.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Not the best
