What about a damp location, would this be helpful, or something else to protect a thermostat.. thank you

Probably not, it has ventilation openings around the frame. This guard is just to avoid tampering with the thermostat. It's not sealed at all.

Leave it on all year long. It does not obstruct air flow and will keep debris out.

Yes, I've done similar set ups, I used a weatherproof Hofmann electrical box with seal tight grommets to keep out the moisture. It's mounted in close proximity to an active sprinkler head and has performed without issue...when I need to use is. (Holidays only)

Without taking it apart I would say dampness would cause dammage internally. It looked sealed but I wouldn't trust it. In fact I used it inside a car and laid it on the dash and running the cables out the door frame and to the battery. Most solar pannels need extra sealing around the frame work to asure it works outside in the elements. When in doubt seal it! make your own warranty! Better safe than sorry...

Sorry, I only use Mizani's Thermasmooth Shine Extend with my Solia, which I have set around 300. This product helps with humidity but does not mention anything about protecting from heat. Maybe I need to consider something myself.

I used this fan to move dampness out from under house after a water pipe leak. It is best not to use in early morning and at night time when the humidity is high. It has some automated controls, but I do not trust them and just turn mine off and on when I feel it the best time. You have to have a second open, unblocked vent to draw in drier air and an open vent to mount in over on in for it to work best. As others have said, there is no damper and wind could blow back from the outside if the fan was turned off. For me that is no problem. Good luck.

I enstalled an outlet out side so that the therostat is actually located out side. When system is running it is only warm at best, I used it for a High Energy Furnace water drain that was freezing up and backing up inside the furnace. Only run it when temp gets in the 30's and lower. I would think that having the thermostat inside would nulify the device.....

It is actually a dry heat...probably could just dampen a towel and place underneath the pad, if you wanted it to be moist.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "damp locations". I think it would be fine in a bathroom. It's really beautiful! As far as dimmable, doesn't that depend on the switch? It just takes a regular bulb, so if the swith is a dimmable switch, it should be fine. Good luck.

To monitor moisture? I am not fimiliar with a "well house". I have it on the floor in the pantry where my hot water heater is. I hope I never find out how well it works since that would mean a major leak. It does seem to monitor the surrounding temp and allow me to view it remotely.......

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

The system i bought is a little different, so its hard to say. I think if it was me i would at least keep it out of the weather, maybe a small vented box, plywood, plastic.

The manufacturer makes t pretty clear this needs to be installed in a clean and dry location. Covered might be ok but definitely not exposed.

You place it on the floor so that the two contacts on the bottom will detect moisture. Not sure if it works. Hopefully..... I have it on the floor next to my hot water heater.

Mine has a vent, rather like a dryer vent on the outside (external) wall. I would think it would protect the fan from rain. It vents into an attached storage shed or "closet" that is stuccoed with a steel door that protects my fan from the elements. I'd be sure it can be used outside or that it's well sheltered.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

I agree with other feedback. I would NOT use this where it is exposed to weather. I keep mine on the south facing dash of my infrequently used truck to keep the remote and security system from draining the battery dead.
