How do I use my thermostat fan as a trigger for another fan?

I have a 2Gig CT-100 Thermostat and GE Lamp module. Both are z-wave devices. I wanted to use the Thermostat Fan as a trigger. When the Thermostat Fan switches to ON, I wanted it also turn on portable fan plugged into the lamp module. I tried to create a scene to do this but thermostat fan ON/OFF status is not an option. Has anyone done this before?

I know this is a old thread but did you have any luck?

I don’t think this would work because the Vera doesn’t see the status of the Thermostat FAN.

I tried to do something similar but could not figure it out, instead will be turning on the Fans based on temperature and humidity around the hose.

This is pretty easy to do in PLEG
You need two Device Properties bound to the thermostat properties:

ModeState - Bound to the thermostats ModeState Variable
Mode - Bound to the thermostats Mode Variable

Than two conditions:
FanON (Mode eq “ContinuousOn”) or (ModeState ne “Idle”)
FanOff !FanON

Add the appropriate actions to the FanON and FanOff conditions.
