Yes those attic fan ventalator switches are very good! I'd like to find a cheap source for those too.
I bought a vent fan system cheap at an auction, about $2
I have been using the temp switch box from that for years above my wood stove.
Used to be a light fixture in the ceiling there, so I go from wall switch to controll box mounted on ceiling above wood burner and back to a normall type wall outlet (specail mounted and orange so I remember what it is). Works great, when the burner is putting out alot of heat the box triggers and turns on the Box fans and moves the hot air. Turns off when the fire dies out so it doesn't blow cold air, and if I want the fans off because the house is getting too hot I just flip the wall switch to off and shut it all down.
I just looked at my ceiling
The box I have adjusts from 60f to 100f. That's the on temps, and I think it kicks out at 10f below the on temp. so if set to about 80, it kicks on at 80f and off at 70f. This is a 120v box, but should work fine for DC I would think unless arcing would welding the points, but I dought it would running low powered fans. Not like a high amp useage such as pumping water.
I'd like to get some of those button switches cheap like they use on electric clothes dryers to control the heating element. But lower temps probably. I have a few junk dryers I took some off of I will play with this winter, but I think the flip temp is too high for what I actually want them for.
