This unit comes with Automatic humidistat that have an outside temp sensor and connects to your furnace. Can it be installed as a manual thermostat?

The quick answer is: YES. There is a small switch inside the humidistat that changes it to manual. The instructions made it easy to change over to manual. It also comes with a decal that you put behind the knob to change the way the knob functions. I added the outside temp sensor. Took a few hours to run the wire, but now the automatic mode means I do not have to worry about adjusting the control when the temperature changes, and I can keep excess moisture from forming inside my window. I am very pleased with both the humidistat and the Aprilaire 400 humidifier. Tom

No, but you can use honeywell Prestige IAQ thermostat, which communicates wirelessly (redlink) with a control box you can mount next to the heater

I don't see why it would be an issue. The only thing I can think of is that it will not turn on until the ambient humidity exceeds the setting you have on the humidistat. I have thought about putting one in my garage, but I'd rather have one with a thermostat instead of a humidistat. If humidity is your concern, you shouldn't have any problems. As far as the size of your window - you may need to add a wooden flange within the window opening in order to fit the unit.

It has several hook up instructions that come with it. It should work as a thermostat, but may not have "full" functionality: i.e. the ability to automatically switch between heat and air. Just be certain to read ALL instructions as there are a couple of switches that you may need to turn to the on or off position depending on what you are trying to do.

This unit is designed for crawlspace installation rather than attic installation. I no longer own the property where I installed the unit, so I don't have the manufacturer's documentation, but I would assume it is not certified for attic use. The controller is a humidistat, not a thermostat, so this is not the unit for your application.

The unit itself has a thermostat. In order to attach an external, self installed thermostat is not possible that I know of. But the unit works great on its own. I'm never having to adjust it. Keeps a constant temp in the room pretty well.

It comes with an outdoor temperature sensor but not outdoor humidity. I think an outdoor humidity is available as a separate sensor. Indoor temperature and humidity are displayed on the base unit. Mine works great, follow the instructions.

No. The humidistat is "just a switch." Activated by humidity rather than your finger. So if you install it where the single switch is now, it will "work" but the light and fan will BOTH come on when the room steams up and go off when the air dries out. You would have to pull a second set of wires to switch the fan and light independently.

You can set it for auto or circulate, the latter being fan only for outside air circulation. I don't have an outside air ventilation fan but use those ventilation settings to force the fan to run a % of the time, to create a more homogenous temp distribution. The thermostat subtracts the cool/heat actual run time from the ventilation time and runs the fan additionally, if required to meet the minimum time setting.

This unit does not control humidification at all. Amazon has the item incorrectly listed. The TH8110R1008 is a 1heat/1cool thermostat that provides temperature control only.

I don't know Mike - I would suggest you call Honeywell if possible, because it does seem to be a typical, broadly useful thermostat that might work in that situation. I will add that this is the best thermostat I have ever used, and that for reasons my installers can't seem to tell me, it actually makes my furnaces work more quietly.

FG this unit has the capability to control humidity/humidifier you just have to purchase the sensor separly.you can also buy the outside temp semsors they work greate.and you can check and made changes to the unit over the internet.hope this help you out.

From the interface to the thermostat, yes. If you have an existing thermostat with four wires, you should be fine. It can even act as your central humidistat with only four wires. Having the interface box probably simplifies things in many cases--especially in complex systems. I recommend drawing a simple schematic of your installation before you begin. I called Ecobee's support before buying. They were helpful.

I wired in another switch in parallel with the thermostat, bypassing the thermostat, that enables me to turn the fan on any time regardless of the temperature. I believe you could obtain a humidity controller and wire it in parallel too.

Yes it will. This is a basic thermostat with a thermo spring that controls the switch on and off for the furnace. That spring is temperature sensitive. It only goes by the temperature inside the dwelling. I have tested the one i have. It is only off by 2 degrees + or -.

No it does not. Amazon list one that is a thermostat and humidistat that is compatible with this unit. It just hooks to the unit by the hot wire as you would a switch. They work great together, we notice a significant drop in tempertures in the summer.

No, it will fit on the furnace but the control box and wiring is all different. I hated the unit, it is way overkill on the controls and the wiring is very complicated. It wants to be able to turn the furnace fan on if the humidity is low even if the temperature in the house is OK. It caused me lots of problems. Also you need to be able to run a temperature probe to the outside so that it can automatically adjust humidity level.
