can I some how plug my dehumidifier in to this so it knows when to turn on and off

Yes. You would need to mount this unit in an electrical box and wire it so it controls an associated outlet that you plug the dehu into. You could also remove the plug from the dehu and wire it in series with the control. The instructions supplied with the control show how to wire it. Some basic electrical skills would be required but it's a relatively simple thing to do.

First off I am no electrician however I did wire in a bath fan to mine. I would think if your dehumidifier has only a on off switch you could wire this dehumidistat to the outlet. Power going to the dehumidistat first thus controlling when the outlet would or would not have power. Once again I am not an electrician.

I wired one into a bathroom vent fan by splicing it inline on one of the two wires and it works fine.
489474
Yes but U need some one with electrical know how to hook it up as a in line portable sensor with rubber cords ,
489475
Negative. This is a hard wired sensor. It mounts to the wall in a regular or shallor receptacle box and is hard wired to your fan. I has slots in the side of the housing that allow air to circulate and when the humidity level exceeds the level set by the dial, it just acts like a light switch and turns on the fan. Easy to do and works great, just put in place of the switch that controls the fan (just be warned, if your fan is a fan light combo, the light should be wired on its own switch)

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 you would be able to do that. You would have to either cut the cord on the dehumidifier or wire an outlet which gets powered through the dehumidistat.

Yes, just plug it in to dedicated outlet, fill it up turn it on, ready in 24 hours.

Odor will not cause the dehumidistat to turn on. The fan could be turned on by lowering the humidity setting, and then turning it back up each time it was needed. A simple wall switch for the fan would be just as effective - and less expensive.

this device can't do what you're asking. you might want to look at a mechanical timer that gives you several options of turning on and off your appliances

Only at the mains. This is a whole house meter. They have plug in appliance modules that you can turn the unit on or off

Plug it in and follow the instructions included in the box. You can either set it to run continuously, or set a desired humidity (ours is set to 50%).

Plug it in, there is an on/off switch on the inner side, and temperature option on the side, near the on/off switch.

Yes it can. I've paired mines with the moisture switch. I haven't got the bathroom to a high humidity yet to have it automatically turn on, but I've tested it and it works as promised.

you don't. you install them in seperate one gang boxes, or mount the dehumidistat on one side and switch other side and cut the side of the switch cover off flush with the edge of humidistat cover

Hi dear friend: Yes you can connect a dehumidifierUse you can connect 110v.the item include the relay.thanks!Have a nice day!
1262513
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!

I put the on/off switch in the basement for my rental unit so they don't mess with it. You could also wire it with no switch at all but I don't like not being able to shut things off.This unit is well worth the money for a rental unit. All the moisture problems in that bathroom went away when i put this in.

I have never used this as a Dehumidifier... but found the manual online...http://cache.air-n-water.com/manuals/newair-ac-12000e-user's-guide.pdf

I wish I could help, but I've yet to open the box. That said, my experience with all dehumidifiers is that they do have an automatic shut-off ability.

Plug a cheap electrical timer u get at any hardware store and it works fine
2265749
Yes it can. It is a mechanical adjustable switch that senses the humidity in the air. It has built in hysteresis (dead band). I rigged it up with small relay and relay socket both rated for 120VAC, 15A....the function was for it to control a dehumidifier (the humidstat in the humidifier is broken but it still functions otherwise) so I had to wire it normally closed. When the humidity goes up, the humidistat circuit opens, the relay closes, and then humidifer turns on...the reverse happens when humidity goes down. Works great!

Yes, I have this Aquatek unit and another hooked up to a timer. The plug is grounded so make sure you purchase a timer that has a grounded outlet (three prongs).
