I need to turn humidifier on and off at set values. WIll this server that purpose? WIll it turn on my humidifier at 40% and turn it off at 60%?

Yes you can. You set the LS value to 40 and the HS value to 60. I use this unit to control the humidity in a piano room.

The unit works like any on/off thermostat or humidistat. If the unit is set for say 75% humidity and the hysteresis is set at 2 then the unit will run until it it reaches 75 then turn off. The unit will come back on at 73%. (75-2=73). The LS (low set point) and HS (high set point) are only there so that the set number cannot be set outside of that range. The ls and hs have nothing to do with when the unit shuts off (or on). if ls is 50 and hs is 60 then you cannot set a set point below the 50 or above the 60. Hope all that makes sense.

Yes, should work for that. I had it on at 60 & off at 70. Worked well for that.

It works well to shut something off when it hits the mark, but i do not believe it is bidirectional. Ie to control at min and max. I believe you would need one set to 60 attached to a moisture source and another set to 40 with a dry source. Download manual to verify. But its a goos little unit for the cost

The condenser shuts off when it reach's the setting of the humidity but the fan runs all the time. When the humidity gets high then your setting the condenser will start. If you read the manual when the power shuts off and then comes back on it will go to default setting much lower then you may have set.

Hello Beatrice. You can run the humidifier without using the heat. With the MODE button on the remote control set the heater to FAN setting, then using the HUMIDIFIER button on the remote turn the humidifier on. You will be good to go.

Not that I am aware of - either motion or humidity initiates the fan. You can turn the product off at the switch and turn it on only when you are showering or are aware of possible humidity. You can set the humidistat to various levels. I believe you can turn off the motion sensor but I had it installed and requested that the fan be set for both and to remain on for 20 minutes. Hope this helps.

It really depends on the setting you put it on. This particular humidifier allows you to adjust the humidity level and it regulates itself to keep the rooms humidity consistent with the setting. We have out the humidity at 50% and the rug was damp. I suggest putting a towel in the direction the mist is blowing. Please don't let that deter you from purchasing this humidifier!! This is the only humidifier that we have found that works and works well!!! We absolutely love it!

I push the + and - buttons on the top to set the humidity level. Make sure your machine is on "normal". If it is set to turbo or continuous, it will run continuously instead of automatically shutting off when the humidity is low, so the + and - buttons don't work.

You can set the humidity on the control panel but the machine runs no matter how low the humidity goes. You can read on the panel the current humidity in the room. It will lower humidity. It will never turn on and off like a regular dehumidifier.

Turns off when reservoir is full or humidity level is reached and does NOT turn on after power outage. I run it until it fills in a very humid environment.

Most gas furnaces have control wiring that is 24V AC, and the water valve on the humidifier takes the same 24V AC. I suggest hooking the humidifier in parallel with the gas valve. That way when the gas turns on the humidifier will operate. With it connected in parallel with the gas valve the humidifier will not operate when you are in Air Conditioning mode. Most people forget to turn off the humidifier in the summer and it runs when it should not. Also, most furnaces have one fan speed for winter operation, and one for summer operation. If you can figure out the relay for winter operation, you could hook in the humidifier there on the 24V AC relay side, but that may be difficult to figure out.

You don't want to restrict water flow on a humidifier. It's an all-or-nothing thing. Either it runs or it doesn't, which ie controlled by the hUmidistat. Even at full-bore though it uses very little water. Mine had to be drained into the sump well for lack of a nearby drain and it's never been anywhere close to enough to kick on. I'd guess a typical cycle uses less than a glass of water judging from the trickle I've observed in the clear drainage tube

Interesting. I would contact the vendor. My night light turns on briefly when you push the button lightly and turns off when you let go. It also turns on permanently when you push it more firmly. I never use these night lights though, so can't help you there. I do highly recommend this humidifier, though. I think if you return yours and get a functional one you will be happy. All the best.

I will try...Yes you should be able to connect your humidistat to this thermo...The thermostat is set to 70 & the humidistat to 65% while away....... The A/C only will run when the humidity gets above 65%... I usually set mine on 65% and have never had problems,,,

Thanks for your question, This humidifier is not battery operated. The product description states "Power: Input/Output AC100-240V 50~60HZ/DC24V 650MA" I hope this helps!

There is a blue-green light at the on/off switch. It is dim but, for those who can accept no night time disturbances it may bother you. It can be defeated by turning the humidifier on /off switch away from you. At a right angle from you it should cause no trouble. You can not run the humidifier without the light being on.

We live in a hot and dry apartment. We usually do not at the timer, set output to max, and it will cycle on/off until it runs out of water, usually the next morning. The humidistat does appear to overestimate the humidity by about 10% compared to a separate hydrometer. I believe this is due to the location of the senor near the mist output, but is easy to overcome by setting the target humidity about 10% higher. The timer is optional and I've never used it.

Hi Gary: Don't know what a humidity on setting is.... this is an exhaust fan, when turned on it runs and when turned off it doesn't. We are very happy with it, since it is extremely quiet and does the same job as the noisy fan we previously had.
