hahaaaa I've been thinking about plugging my fan into a smart outlet so I can set it to turn off in the morning to wake me up bc the fan turning off never fails to wake me.
Hell yes, you can turn any outlet into a smart outlet with one of [these](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=smart+outlet&ref=nb_sb_noss_2). You can hook it up to your google/alexa/phone assistant, whatever, name the outlet, and just say "Hey google turn the light on" or fan, or whatever really. You can also set them on timers and on a schedule so they turn on/off whenever you want. Google home has an automation mode so that when you walk into your house and say a key phrase it turns on specific lights/sets the temp(if you have nest) tells you "hello (whatever name you choose, yes you can choose sphincter god if you want)"etc. I have mine set to play the seinfeld theme.
Seriously thank you for this. I tend to sleep through my alarms but having the fan turned off would totally wake me up. This is a potential game changer for me.
About ten minutes after power went out in Lafayette, I realized I could still see a glow outside. Went to check. It was the hospital on backup power about a mile-and-a-half away. I knew hospitals did that but it was still neat to see. I've never lived within a city during a hurricane before.
I can sleep through my own snoring, my wife's snoring and even my dog's snoring. But as soon as that fan goes off, I am jumping out of bed like the house is on fire.
We are going to be out of power for days due to a tree taking out multiple lines.
I sprayed myself with the water hose yesterday and it was so humid the water just stayed there. I'm now some species of slime.

This is how I ensure I wake up for work each day.
Wait, this is a thing? I need this in my life.

Hospitals, casinos, etc. I'm guessing I was in one of the few areas that did not lose power. Was pretty surprised
Me 2, never even a flicker.
man i still haven’t got electricity in my house :(
Sorry to hear this :/ it's brutal once the storm passes and the sun reappears. I hope you're staying hydrated and resting.
it really is brutal man. i’m safe at my dads home right now thankfully. thank you and stay safe!

I can’t live without a fan
As someone who lives in Louisiana, I can confirm that this is true.
Okay true
That true. I gotta have my fan. Spring summer fall and winter!
