Is the sensor for humidity mechanical or electronic. The mechanical sensors on most cheaper models do not workwell after a bit of time.

We aren't sure. My husband says the manual is online. The control is mechanical (dial). We are loving it!! It took our humidity in our basement from 80% to 38% rapidly!

I would suspect that yes, you need to replace your humidistat. I have an Aprilaire humidifier and my digital humidistat went bad. Since my humidifier was aging, I replaced it also. I went back to the "manual" humidistat since it's simple and no electronics to go bad. The only thing the digital humidistat buys you is an outdoor temperature sensor (thermocouple) that automatically adjusts the setting based on the outdoor temperature ...sounds good but not that big of a deal. I set my manual humidistat a couple times ...when I expect the temperature to routinely get below 20 deg and then when I expect it to be above 20 deg. Never had a problem with that. Good luck!

I think it is only on speed. Either humidity control or forced on. You should buy other model if you want two speed.

It's a remote sensor. You put it outside (see directions for placement) and it transmits the outside temperature and humidity to the display unit in the house.

Ours runs for a period of time you set, but not on an auto humidity setting basis. When it turns off from the timer, you have to turn it on again. It is not like an alarm clock where it resets for the next day.

The Elertus is a small, battery-powered, plastic device (about 2" by 2" by 1/2") that measures temperature, humidity, light, and has a plug-in sensor which connects via wire to a sensor to note if a door is open or closed. They've also announced a similar plug-in sensor for water (e.g., water heater leaks). To use the Elertus, you must have a wireless network that it can communicate over. Given that, you can log into it at any time to determine the temperature, humidity, etc at the indoor site of Elertus (N.B.: I don't think it's suitable for outside use). You can also set high/low temperatures and humidities, so that if any limit is exceeded, emails and/or text message warnings are sent to a list of recipients (also input by you). Based on my experience to date using three sensors in different locations, the batteries will last about one year.

I have not done much with the sensors to date. Most of the sensors are simple digital/ analog I/O interfaces which would just require an appropriate I/O selection on the microcontroller. If you have questions about a specific module, I could take a quick look and let you know. I had the same reaction with the lack of documentation but I am an electrical engineer so I am not particularly worried about figuring out the details.

I bought only the sensor. I'm on my second sensor now I got about a years use out of the first one.

No it doesn't measure humidity level. There is a knob to control how much humidity it should generate that's it.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

Yes. Assuming that you mean to use the indoor sensor, go to Installer Options and select one or more sensors for the temperature reading (choosing multiple sensors, including the thermostat itself, will average the temperature readings). The indoor sensors also read humidity, but you can only choose one (but you can choose a different one for dehumidification if you'd like). If you mean to use the remote sensor (w/ display) then link it to whichever thermostat you'd like it to work with.

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.

you don't need a humidity sensing switch, you might want to go with a timer that keeps the fan running for a certain time after manually initiated

There is a sensor, it's built in to the humidifier so you can set the humidity level. Although I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, I have a separate humidity sensor and the numbers are about 5 degrees of humidity apart.

Yes, it is the photo-sensor.. Just return the item and get another.. A few of the items have quality issues.. 2 different revisions of the board.. Overall good and reliable product when you get one that works.. Do not forget to remove the outer lenses cover and silicone seal the threads. Will short-out the electronics should condensation get inside. I have 8 of the units working now for 1-1/2 years thru sub-zero to 105 degrees..

I have (2) of these king air timers. They are much better than humidity sensors, as humidity varies so much in new england.I have (1) wired for both: fan & lights on/off together. ie 1 gang box needed.I have the other (1) wired for fan only. ie 2 gang box needed.:)

I would recomend it. The one I have works well. Temp is accurate within a deg or two as far as I can tell and the humidity is pretty much spot on.
