The Tamarac (which is the only whole house fan you should buy!) has an IR or RF remote. Just use an IR blaster connected to a temperature monitoring device to control it. You could also have an outdoor temp sensor to compare values with the indoor unit so it only turns on when there is a lower temp inside.

If you already have a whole house fan and it's not a tamarac you should remove it and replace it.
