the item description says with only water sensor... The details say measure ambient air temp and humidity .. does it measure temp, hum and water?

The sensor that I bought measures temp, humidity and does leak detection. I use it in the laundry room and to monitor the AC system evap trap.

yes it does but its micro-internal transmitter is very weak and the main unit that connects to the network often misses the transmissions. There is not a "handshake" or a request for retry if the transmission is not received. In short, if you have a water leak in your basement and the transmission is missed, it may take 15 minutes for a retry and your house could be flooded by then. I disconnected my entire system and trashed it, it is not very reliable. Don't waste your money on this system

This is an indoor only sensor - it's not made for the elements, not water tight etc. in fact I wrapped the seams in electrical tape just to make sure water didn't get in the unit. My application is using one in my laundry and one in the room with my water heater and basement drain.

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

Charles,The unit has been a little disappointing, but not enough to return it. The humidity it measures is about 15% off, so I just compensate for that. If you set it for 60%, the compressor and fan will run until it reaches 57%, which seemed a bit odd to me. The unit does not measure temp, as was advertised. The fan does shut off once it has overachieved on the desired setting.

I use it to monitor the temp and check if there is water in a room that is unheated - I have seen it down as low as 25 degrees. It works well.

It does not control humidity but it has a water tray to add distilled water to to keep humidity in a good range. It controls temps very well. As with any incubator always use a reliable digital thermometer to monitor internal cabinet temps. Never rely on readouts on any unit.

It does, it will switch between the current humidity in the room and the desired humidity. I also have a small $10 humidity monitor, and the humidifier and the monitor can vary from 0-10%. So I am not sure which one is the most accurate. Also can depent on where you place the monitor. hope this helps... Cheers

To my knowledge this unit does not. It only eliminates needing to switch from heat to AC. It is very accurate at monitoring temps.

To monitor air and water would require two of these sensors. The air sensor is normally used to trigger the freeze protection mode. If you don't have a spa/pool heater then I would not see a need for the water sensor.

Dear alex, Thanks for your contact. Actually, the product includes: 1 x Weather station base unit 1 x Rain Sensor 2 x Mounting Screws 1 x English Instruction manual When you install the rain sensor together with the device, it will measure the rain and outdoor temperature at the same time. Otherwise, it will show the indoor temperature only. Is that ok for you? If you like it, please place the order, we can ship it out ASAP. Any questions, please feel free to contact us. Waiting for your reply. Sincerely, Vivian

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

There is only one sensor and it is inside the unit. I don't think this is meant to be outside, it mounts on the wall in the drywall. Whatever is wired to it will turn on when the set humidity is high enough and off when the humidity level drops to the set humidity.

Yes -- In the Installation Guide (69-2693-02), which I believe is available on line if not in the package, under Installer Setup, function # 0380 must be set to 1 (thermostat controls dehumidification with air conditioner). In that mode, there are 6 keypads across the bottom of the display rather than the 5 shown in this figure and the humidity control level is displayed below the temperature; actual current humidity is seen after MORE keypad is touched. Great thermostat -- especially for our house in Florida.

what parameters does it actually measure ??? does it measure ph and ppm or is it just a moisture and light sensor?

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

It has a little sponge like thing in there so it depends on heat and humidity probably. Also level sensor that let's you adjust it some.

Yes. Assuming that you mean to use the indoor sensor, go to Installer Options and select one or more sensors for the temperature reading (choosing multiple sensors, including the thermostat itself, will average the temperature readings). The indoor sensors also read humidity, but you can only choose one (but you can choose a different one for dehumidification if you'd like). If you mean to use the remote sensor (w/ display) then link it to whichever thermostat you'd like it to work with.
