My switch is not turning on during shower. Which direction should I adjust the "humidstat" &/or "sensitivity" settings to try to turn on faster?

The instructions should help you. In the beginning, my switch was not automatically turning on. After a while, it started to do so. Remember, the switch determines the CHANGE in humidity. So the switch gauges what it feels is normal and then turns on according to the increase from normal to current conditions. in your case, it is important to not only set your sensitivity to high but also the humidistat to 20

The Sensitivity adjustment can be adjusted to low, medium or high. This will determine at what level of humidity the fan will automatically turn on. For example, when set to "high" the sensor is highly sensitive to the change in ambient air and will activate the fan at the earliest signs of humidity. On the "low" setting, it will take a higher level of humidity in the air for the sensor to respond and activate the fan. So you will turn sensitivity to high.

I had very poor performance from this switch at all settings. Assummed switch was bad and got a 2nd with same results. Switched to standard old umidistat and it works great.

Turn lower right dial to straight up or 11 o'clock. If you think you might have air movement through the electrical box, cover inside 5 walls with duct tape as best as you can. I did this because I know my boxes "leak" and both my switches in 2 bathrooms work well. Good luck!

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

I dont know! I had mine with the same problem. It seems like the switch got broken because it feels kind of loose compared on How it was before. Mine It also got water inside. Did your flashkight got water inside too? I have not tried to fix it yet.

The bottom half of the front faceplate is the switch. You just gently push it in to turn it off or on with the switch, and yes it goes off after the set time. As far as turning it on easily, you will see several reviews that note you should mount this fairly high on the wall for the sensor to work well. I mounted mine so the bottom of the faceplate is at about 6 feet and it picks up moisture from our shower within a minute or so. Neither my wife or I have problems using the manual switch at this height, but obviously you need to mount it at a height you can comfortably reach.

Try setting the switches the opposite of how you think they should be. Switch the ones you think should be off to on and vice versa. I remember the dip switches were confusing because what looks like should be the on setting was actually the off setting.

no. you should really have an electrician install it. you need to position an on/off switch near the shower, where you can reach it to turn on/off. use a 30-amp cuircuit breaker and #10 wire best.

I too experienced the same thing with this Humidistat, it would switch open (off) when the humidity would fall below the set point and would switch closed (on) when the humidity went above the set point. I found this opposite on how I was expecting the device to function. Has anyone else experienced this?

No, it's on the battery. Made me nervous at first so I just pull the hose out of the water to push the on/off button. But I have reached in the water to do it with no problem. I've had no problem with it at all, but it would be nicer to have the switch on the shower head.

I would say install it with the switch in the "on" position, then. Once you set the timer to turn the switch "off" the moving track should be able to force the on/off toggle switch to "off" and all should be fine.

This style faucet relies on the water pressure to switch it to shower mode. My thought is you may not be turning the water on as high as your family member. If this may be the case, try turning both sides on "full blast" then set it to "shower". Once it is in "shower" mode then adjust the temp to suit you. I hope this helps.

Switch once is moisture control mode, switch it twice will turn it to full run mode. Just switch it on will be auto.

I have this model connected to a toggle switch, so I turn it on when needed. I turn the bathroom light and fan on separately, though I could have had them wired together to go on all the time. However, since it is a powder room, I do not need to use the fan every time I turn on the light. I could also have used a motion sensor switch to turn on both simultaneously, but thought that was overkill for my particular installation.This model does not have a humidity sensor, but that is available in the model number ending with "ACH".Hope this helps.

I agree with the other comments. I would set the timer and the switch for the steam. Wait for the steam to start and that's it. If that doesn't work, then there is a problem with your steamer.

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.

I just hooked mine up to the water source a few weeks ago.Functioning worked the same for me.When unit is turned off, hold finger to the screen while turning the unit on. This brings up the menu and you should be able to set the auto on/off times. Note once it's unplugged the clock time is not set and so the auto on/off is not selectable. You must first set the clock time and after that is done the auto on/off button becomes selectable.Hope this helps.

I think you're talking about the water pressure on/off, you can adjust the water temperature with the small lever and the pressure (which also turns water on and off) with the large lever. I have this in my new bathroom shower and I love it!
