Does unit automatically display all three remote zones? What is the battery life? How often is humidity read?

I can speak to the battery life. I installed the base unit and one remote (outside) on 2012 Dec 2. I'd ordered lithium batteries for it (good for temperature extremes), but they hadn't arrived yet, so I loaded them up with some AA Duracell alkaline batteries I had. 472 days later, the main unit started losing contact with the remote, and I noticed its low battery indicator was on. The remote was still going strong. I replaced the alkaline batteries in both units with the lithium batteries that I'd ordered back in 2012. That works out to 15 months (over two winters and one summer) on just regular alkaline batteries. I'm expecting longer life from the lithiums.

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)

Yes I have been trying to use 2 of these, one for the Ref/Freezer in the kitchen and an another unit's single sensor in a freezer in the garage. Unfortunately they try to talk to each other and get messed up with which sensor to read and display. For example, I get the same reading for the freezer outside in the garage as I do inside the house, but I know they should be different readings. I also tried using one sensor in the garage freezer and another to read the ambient temperature outside, but still had the same kind of problems. Both would show the fridge temperature instead of separate readings for in the house and outside. I've been looking for alternatives (wireless) but have had no luck yet. The manufacture needs to add a switch to change the transmit frequency used for unit one and unit two.

You can power on the remote zones but the receiver does not turn on via the network for the main zone. Further if main zone is off zones 2&3 do not respond.

This unit measures both the humidity and the temperature, but it displays only the relative humidity, so if you want to know the temperature, you'll need another meter for that. I have a temperature controller next to the humidity meter, so I get temperature off that.

Hello Jane, I honestly don't know because after a short time (despite adjustments) the unit did not keep accurate temperature or humidity & I got rid of it. It was a disappointment (should have followed up on an Amazon review). Suggestion: I replaced with an Ambient Weather Station WS-1171 which provides the following: indoor/outdoor temperatures & humidity levels, plus dewpoints, barometric pressure & history, time, day, date, and it has an active indicator which (in conjunction with barometer) shows changes in the weather ie. cloudy to sunshine, rain to sun, etc. One small sensor unit sits outside & the display unit sits inside your home in a convenient location. No wires or electricity required 3 AA batteries. I like it very much.

Yes, It has a "wired" remote switch and battery gauge. I was a little disappointed at first that it wasn't wireless, but I have never misplaced this one. Also, as Brian said, I found that the VDC reading is a couple tenths low. Not really a problem, It has probably increased my battery life, since I don't like to drain the batteries to low, and I will charge the batteries when the gauge shows about 12.2 VDC Better it to show a little low, rather than high, to keep from running out of "juice"

No! The product only comes with one sensor that reads temp only. If you want to know the humidity, you must purchase a separate sensor...approx. $30.

The sensor switch is a great feature. It turns the humidity fan off after 30 minutes. Any Decorator style plate (switch or outlet) will work. You can gang the sensor switch with a light fixture switch in a 2-gang work box if wanted. It doesn't need to be a stand alone

there are some answers shown , I have not even started to use mine yet. I'm just getting started to set my unit up, there fore I can't give an answer at this time.

The humidity reading on my old unit that eventually failed got funky and was reading about 30 percent lower than what it should have been. But the replacement unit I bought over a year ago has been right on the money so far. What's weird, however, is that the humidity reading INDOORS on my MAIN unit has gone bonkers now and is reading about 20 percent less than it should be. So go figure. But I have a digit-readout humidifier that I use in the winter, so that's not as important to me as the temperature.

evidendenly your humidity is lower or the same as number being seen so just press button under number you'll see it go down to lower number and you'll see the go light go on and hear it start up, i set mine on 40, bu it does shut off when it reaches 40 and if you unplug unit you have to do button all over again

The user manual tells it all...I recommend the unit.. http://www.geeya-tech.com/upLoad/product/month_1312/201312030153357074.pdf

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...)

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

My remote doesn't work well either. Hit adn miss as to if the humidifier receives the signal even with direct line of sight. It frequently registers an entirely different humidity than the humidifier, even when set on top of the humidifier for "calibration". I wouldn't bother with the remote - get some exercise, walk over and adjust the fan or shutoff humidity.

As i understand it, it only displays outside temp and humidity. I already have a good gauge to do that so i didnt buy that add on.
