Need an analog controlled humidifier that will turn on automatically when power goes out then back on. Must work with humidistat. Will this work?

If you leave it plugged in, it will restart when power is restored. It supposedly has its own humidity control, so I can't answer if it will work with a humidistat. But for other reasons, I would not recommend this unit unless you are very handy and can play around with it to make it work in the first place. I have reviewed it at Amazon. Check it out.

As I don't have this problem, I am unable to answer your question. The Essick customer service number is 1-800-547-388. I have found them to be very helpful.

Thanks for your question, This humidifier is not battery operated. The product description states "Power: Input/Output AC100-240V 50~60HZ/DC24V 650MA" I hope this helps!

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.

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. When it reaches desired humidity setting, the compressor shuts off first and the fan continues to circulate air for a few mins. It will automatically turn back on when humidity rises.

This unit is for a whole house humidifier to add humidity to the air of the interior of the house. It is not for AC use .

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 don't have answer for this question. But I should let you know that this one was broken within two months. Then I had to buy another humidifier.

I use mine on the"off and on" setting where it runs 30 seconds and then shuts off for 30 seconds. Mine will run in this mode for at least 6 hours, probably 7. I just use it during the day and since I've only had it about 2 weeks I'm not sure exactly how long it will run. If you have to have humidification all night, I'd stick with an actual humidifier, unless about 7 hours is sufficient. That said, I love my Smiley Daisy!

Need a humidistat for the &lt;50% outside part. Found these on Amazon: IMAGE 110V Digital Air Humidity Control Controller WH8040 Range 1%~99% RH HM-40 Type It requires 120 vac power Household power, and its contacts can only handle 5 amps at 120 vac. If your 120 vac fan draws less than 5 amps, you could use this. or, C.A.P. HUM1 - Humidity Controller Really nice, but expensive.

Yes. It has an on/off button behind the humidifier above the USB-cable connection.

Sorry, I can't help--both my humidifiers went dead in the past few months. (Call Hunter, they are good about honoring their warranties.)

No humidifier function at all. There may be a fan-only function if you turn the thermostat all the way down, but you would be much better off with a "real" fan or a large air purifier.

Yes. that is what I bought it for and I have tested it with appliances. I had a problem with the first unit in that the humidity sensor was 8% off compared to two other humidity sensors I had. They shipped a new one to replace at no expense or even having to ship the defective unit back.

I'm not familiar with the wireless thermostat transmitters. The humidifier can be wired to operate through the fan circuit or the heating circuit. When the thermostat calls for heat the humidifier turns on and off with the heater, through a duct mounted humidity sensor powered by 24 volts. It can also operate if the fan is manually turned on at the thermostat and the fan is wired through the duct mounted humidity sensor. That being said, I guess if the transmitter (sensor) can be programmed to turn the fan on when it calls for humidity, it may work with heating and in manual operation. Hope this helps.

for my purposes it works well. i have a 35 gallon tank with a ball python. the tank uses two of these. i have an automated control system i made that turns the humidifier on and off to maintain between 45 and 55% ambient humidity at all times in the tank which it does without difficulty. with that said, i used aluminium tape to close off ~95% of the top of the tank to help keep the humidify from escaping. you can see the automated system information here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=140740.0i am very happy with how the humidifiers work.
