One person said it worked in sub-zero temps and another said it won't work below like 67 degrees. Which is correct?

I used mine all winter long in the basement here in central il. Havent had any issues and the thing works great! Ive unplugged it a few times but for the most part it runs 24/7. I know for sure it ran alright around 50°f maybe lower.

I believe the user who mentioned "sub-zero temperatures" was talking about using it in his basement when the outside temperatures were below zero. He didn't mean to suggest the humidifier itself was being used in a sub-zero environment

cold air does not hold moisture very well, that said mine works well to about 45% humidity which is very comfortable at about 68 to 72 degrees

I have mine working fine at 5F, here in the Pacific Northwest doesn't get as cold as the Midwest.

Carlos: I installed two of these in my pickup bed cover to lock/unlock it remotely. They worked fine in temps from 20 to 120 degrees (F).

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

I checked on my unit and the control goes down to 60 degrees.I have never had it lower than 72.I live in Houston and the room stays cold when the A/C is running.

The coldest temp I used it in was about 25 degrees. It worked just fine. I highly recommend it.

It worked in 30F weather today. The only reason it wouldn't work in really cold weather would be if the battery freezes.

Being that cold is most likely going to affect the z-wave performance. No mention of operating temperatures in the package that I can find.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

Not sure and there's nothing in the manual addressing temperature ranges for use. My guess, since this unit operates from a battery, it may not perform as well in very cold temperatures. I would also be concerned about frost jamming the mechanism. There's a technical support number you can call, 800-222-1055. Good luck.

I looked over the documentation and it doesn't go up that high. I don't know how high it goes but definitely not to 750 degree as that kind of temperature will require special safety gear.

I dont know, it didnt get above 32 here. However I dont see how it would, it seems to be a constant heat source. Mine just couldnt handle the cold apparently, it froze through the first night.

It worked fine for me at 24 degrees F. I am sure that it would work well below that.

I have not used it in that low of a temperature, but so far the unit has been working just fine.

Ralph, my records show that the lowest temp we've had here in Sandoval County, NM since I installed the MA-S01 is 8F on January 13 this year. I don't believe low temps should be a concern and I the unit will work in conjunction with their freeze alarm which is rated at -50F to +300F (probably it's melting point). My only concern would be the batteries. I haven't replaced mine since installing in early January but I know that low temps affect battery performance. I've been completely satisfied with my unit and have had no problems. I put mine in a corner of my shop and the only caution I would observe is to not put or hang objects in front of the unit. My shop gets a bit cluttered at times and I have a tendency to hang bar clamps from a shelf in front of the unit. Bad idea. I entered the shop one day and because it didn't beep immediately I forgot until the alarm triggered. This was because the unit was playing peekaboo from behind the clamps. Great unit for the price, but I wasn't that impressed with the volume of the siren. It would probably send an intruder running but likely wouldn't wake me.

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.
