Is the Outdoor Temp/Humidity Sensor battery-operated, or does it need to be wired into the house system?

The outdoor sensor is wired into the controller at the designated terminals for outdoor sensor. The controller is wired into the thermostat and furnace for automated control per the instructions in the IOM manual supplied with the controller.

The outdoor sensor that gives you the reading of outdoor temperature & humidity first off should be mounted on the north side of your home so that it will be exposed to as little sunlight as possible for accuracy. As for the question as to how it is powered, the outdoor sensor does not use batteries so it isn't wireless. The wall control unit gets its power supply from an 18-5 (18 gauge, 5 conductor thermostat wire that ties into your steam humidifier unit from the wall control unit) Your outdoor sensor has to have a separate wire that goes from it using a 18-2 (18 gauge, 2 conductor thermostat wire) and this wire gets directly connected to the indoor wall controller as well. There is also a need for a second 18-5 wire that connects from your steam humidifier and splices into the wiring for your finance. Your furnace should already have an existing 18-5 wire that runs from the furnace to your regular thermostat controller. I hope this helps and is not too confusing. Just remember you can always call an HVAC company to help with this issue although it won't be cheap.

It is not wireless, therefore you need to run an 18-2 thermostat wire from it to the IAQ board.

the external portion is hard wired to the internal portion and power is supplied by the 24v transformer that supplies power to the humidifier. this could be from the furnace or an external transformer. it is not battery operated.

Needs to be wired in to your furnace and humidifier and then just follow simple instructions in bookled (supplied)

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!

Just reports humidity. My humidity sensor is so-so and doesn't work after an extended period of time (24hrs). So basically I leave it off

No! The product only comes with one sensor that reads temp only. If you want to know the humidity, you must purchase a separate sensor...approx. $30.

there are two kinds one without thermostat and one with and it is programable. It is a plug in unit

It has a battery for memory back up, but it runs off the C wire. Be sure your thermostat setup has a C wire.

See the comment by Gene. Note that if you have only two wires from boiler to thermostat you can't power it from the furnace so have to use battery.

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.

I'm not sure why they say that. Mine came with an outdoor sensor that sends signals to the inside unit for Temp/humidity. It's white .

Sensor is battery powered, when tripped it sends wireless signal to dialer then it will call what number you program so the dialer needs to be wired to phone jack and needs to be plugged in to house 110 ac

The convenience of this product is that you never need to change batteries; it is powered by the electricity from the light socket (110 outlet) thru the bulb holder. The electricity then travel thru the cord to the bottom of the sensor where it plugs in. If in doubt how to install, consult a licensed electrician.

I have (2) of these king air timers. They are much better than humidity sensors, as humidity varies so much in new england.I have (1) wired for both: fan & lights on/off together. ie 1 gang box needed.I have the other (1) wired for fan only. ie 2 gang box needed.:)

The sensor/detector runs off of batteries. The lights themselves must be hooked up to 120v AC line. This product works good. I bought a second one to control lights in my basement so I don't have to turn the lights on and off. It takes care of it for me.

The unit is battery operated. The one I received did not include a battery.

The unit is battery powered so there is no need to plug it in. I have used this unit to keep various nocturnal animals out of my garden and koi pond. It seems to work since I have not had problems since purchase.

There is a built in thermostat at the bottom. You could put a remote thermostat but would have to be wired in.

it is battery operated only but I have seen adaptors which can plug into the 9 volt battery plugs. that would mean you can only use it in or very near your home.
