I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

I bought this one, but I and then an extra standalone fan, to have neutral pressure in my network closet, and it has never gone above 30 Celsius.

Nice. These look great.

Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.

I live in a Caribbean island, therefore, mine are always at full throttle 🤣.

It has 2 variable modes:

Smart: varies RPMs based of temperature.

Auto: Off, and turn on based on your settings on at what temp you want them to start spinning, then they go to top RPM.
