Can you hook up a humidifier to turn on if the RH is below a value, and to turn on a DEhumidifier if the RH is above a value?

No. This unit only has 1 output. It can be used to either control humidification OR dehumidification. As said in other answers, you would need 2 units.

This unit only has one set of relay contacts. You would need to run two of these units. One for Humidification and one for Dehumidification.

You going to need two units to do this, one for the humidifier and one for the dehumidifier.

not a pro at this stuff but as for the way i see it and use it . I would say yes

No. I brought mine out for the third season and the humidifier would not turn on.

Have an electrician mount your humidistat and a standard wall outlet in a plastic utility box with the humidistat wired to provide power to the outlet and a cord to plug into a standard outlet. The cord can be whatever length you need it to be. The outlet will be turned on and off by the humidistat thereby controlling whaterevr is plugged into the outlet.

Yes it can. It is a bit deceiving but when you press where it says "Timer" it activates the timer, when you press either of the arrows that changes your desired humidity setting up or down.

Yes, if you have the power on, the fan will run. It is a bit loud, but the dehumidifier does and excellent job.

I recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

i agree with other responder its a humidistat i dont think you can make it work based on temperture .also i dont think the remote can be used as a control i think it just tells you the temp and humidity of the remote location(at least i couldnt see how to use the remote as a way of activating)

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.

There is an on and off switch next to where the cord goes into the humidifier. I hope this is helpful .

Note that turning on the A/C to control humidity will not work. It will only lower the temperature in the area and can actually increase the RH in that area. If you are controlling a dehumidifier that is different, as it first super cools then reheats the air to the desired temperature to deliver the required humidity and temperature. If you really want to connect the humidistat up the answer depends on what type of thermostat you want to connect to? If it is an older Heat/Off/Cool type there is no easy way as the connections you need are across the cool side of the selector switch to the yellow wire which is the cooling control wire (typically yellow but color can vary). Since the cool side of the switch is internal to the AC thermostat it requires some soldering to modify, it can be done but since you are asking the question I assume this is not something you would be comfortable doing. If you connect across the Red and Yellow you are bypassing the switch and possibly the fan control. Thus the A/C may run but the fan may not.

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.

Yep!...in the setup..you change 165 to equal a 1...this allows the dehumidify terminal, to be controlled by the outdoor sensor...peace and love!

The fan runs only when the unit is dehumidifying, according to the humidity level you choose.

Sorry, I can't help--both my humidifiers went dead in the past few months. (Call Hunter, they are good about honoring their warranties.)

My dehumidifier works perfectly. Check the humidity in the room before you run it - it might be too low to extract any great amount of water.

The humidity sensor is not on unless you turn it on. If you have a timer turn it on, the sensor will not be working.

Unclear how to do this. I have accidentally set the humidity level by fiddling around when the unit is first powering up, but since it isn't possible (as far as I can see) to discern the setting by looking at the display - good luck. (But it does run very quietly, and since I don't have mine on continuous drain - I empty the tub daily - it doesn't matter...)
