Correctamundo.

At least do some painting and staining FFS. That 2X is a bit ghetto - it's probably fine but looks -idly undersized. Idea: get two pieces of 1X whatever-those-joist-are and slap a piece on each side of the 2X. Little boxed look.

The idea is to panel the whole ceiling with v-notch pine, and redo the screens as well.

So that 2x4 would be adjusted to be flush to the rafters when the time comes.

It's under a roof. It gets no sun, and it's protected from rain and snow.

How about moisture?

N0 - Romex shouldn't be placed in conduit because it runs even hotter. It's already double jacketed. It was designed specifically for the open wiring of residential construction. Inside.

Cite chapter and verse in the NEC or shut the fuck up. The only place NMB isn't allowed is in wet locations.

Easy #hack to fix it would to to change out the NMB for NMWU.

Big question is, is that fan rated for wet/outdoor use?

Outdoor rated fan.

Not one of those alleged indoor/outdoor things.

If that ceilings getting closed in then it doesnt matter
If it was staying open, I would definitely use conduit-appropriate wiring, because I couldnt look at that shit all stapled around like that all the time

Nobody said it was outlawed, just considered bad practice. Now go hide and fuck yourself.

Let's discuss proper grounding for an outlet where the box only has hot and neutral, but there is a nearby water pipe.

@Jehannum What is the HA software you're using? With all the stupid shit that Samsung is doing, I'm thinking of migrating to Home Assistant. Can't remember if that's what you use.

Can't believe you are querying analog devices for this information.
