Can this be setup as follows: 1) Humidity sensor in crawl space 2) Display in living area 3) Wired to bath fan to turn on when humidity is high

The sensor and display are all one unit (the display and indoor sensor has the green screen, the other sensor show as a white square is for outside), so if you want to monitor the crawl space you need to have the display located inside the crawl space. If it were monitoring your crawl space humidity and it kicked on to add moisture the humidifier it would also kick on your furnace blower to circulate the humidity in your entire house (not just the crawl space, unless you have a separate system for your CS). As for 3. I am not sure, I don't have an issue with too much humidity because I live in Colorado and I don't use the a dehumidifier function.

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 would not recommend that. There is an inline control switch which may not handle the humidity well in a sauna or steam room.

Can this unit be used in a bathroom which includes a shower (and thus a certain amount of humidity)?

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

No. The sensor will always run if it senses motion regardless if humidity levels are detected . We've had to move the sensor to prevent it from false detection.

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.

The unit is designed to monitor temperature, power, and water. It is not designed to incorporate other sensors. There is only one water sensor included and one input in the controller for the water sensor. I don't know if you could tie additional ones into the line for the control unit. The unit is designed for use in one building although you could conceivably locate the water sensor in one area (within 100' of the control unit), a basement for instance, and install the control unit in a garage to monitor the temperature simultaneously.

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.

No, just HVAC. This unit not designed to control humidity. Hope this helps!

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

This fan can be wired in many ways. It was intended to be installed with the fan constantly powered. The switch should boost the speed to get rid of humidity and bathroom smells. This fan is also sold with a built-in motion detector that controls the boost, leading to easier installation.

Yes you can just do what the schematic and it works on humidity and temperature

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.

You can use an outside sensor but will loose the function of humidity sensing. I did not buy the optional sensor. The sensor is on Amazon for $24.05 Search C7089U1006 and read the 28 reviews posted there.

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.

Sorry, there is no way provided to switch between sensors. It comes with one outdoor temp sensor and reads that just fine. The rest is indoor temp and humidity wherever you have the devise located. So far mine has worked just fine for over a year.

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.
