Hey all! I'm trying to find the best way to wire a dual switch for a porch light and indoor ceiling fan. The source power cable, fan power cable, porch light power cable, as well as a smoke detector power cable all reside within an accessible metal j-box (see attached drawing). I currently have a 12-2-2 (black, red, white, white, ground) cable run from this j-box to connect to a single pole dual switch. Can anyone give direction on what should happen in the j-box? I don't want to get any wires crossed and my brain is having a hard time figuring this one out!

Hi All, We have a ceiling (not gable) mount attic fan in our hallway. It has a switch for off / on....and a switch for either low or high speed. All works very well except that the speed is still too fast, even on low. What kind of speed control would I look for at the local Lowes or Home Depot stores? Thanks.
