I have a frosted glass door in my master bathroom, and the indicator lights on my current fan timer are super annoying when they light up at night. I'm specifically looking for an electronic timer (not a mechanical dial) that doesn't have any lights showing when it's off. If there are lights, I want them to turn off when the timer shuts off. Any recommendations? Thanks!

If you're up for a little DIY fix, you could try covering the existing indicator lights with a bit of paint. After it dries, you can poke a tiny hole to see if it's on or off without the brightness being bothersome. It might be easier than swapping out the whole switch. Just a thought!
Another simple solution is just to tape over the indicator light. It's quick and works fine if you don’t mind a temporary fix while you search for a more permanent solution!
You might want to look into automatic humidity switches; they usually don’t have lights when powered off, which could be exactly what you need. Plus, some brands like Lutron and Panasonic have solid options that might fit the bill without lighting up at night. Check out the Lutron Maestro Motion Sensing Switches for starters—here’s the link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Maestro-Motion-Sensor-Switch-2-Amp-Single-Pole-White-MS-OPS2H-WH-MS-OPS2H-WH/203202128.
Those Lutron switches seem great! I’ve been looking for something similar for my space too.
