Electrical Timer Switch – How to Add to Existing Fan with Thermostat

electricalswitchtimerwiring

We have an existing 120V AC exhaust fan wired to simple inline attic fan style thermostat. We would like to add a timer switch so the fan could be manually turned on as needed.

Would this be the correct way to add a timer switch?

Yes, that is precisely correct. Though I prefer red tape, but that's a preference, not a requirement to go buy a roll. Nicer (IMHO) because you can easily mark switched hots whether they be black or white.
