Does this thermostat control both temperature and humidity (eliminates need for separate thermostat and humidistat (current configuration))?

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

To my knowledge this unit does not. It only eliminates needing to switch from heat to AC. It is very accurate at monitoring temps.

No, I recently got a new HVAC system and upgraded the thermostat to a VisionPRO IAQ. It has a built in humidistat. It does take a little more installation know how but I love it.

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

Hi Vincent, I just installed mine a couple weekends ago. In answer to your question, both lol. The control panel mounts onto your cold air return which you have to drill like a 3/4 inch hole for, so the humidistat that is on the back of the controller measures the humidity in your cold air return. It also wires into your furnace and thermostat wiring so it only kicks on when the furnace is running...

Yes it will control humidity in AC mode when it does when hooked to a dehumidifier.

This Device allows control of heat, cool, off or hold settings or switch temperature readings at the device or thermostat or of course set the temperature desired. It also displays the out door temperature as I have it set up. Depending on the system I understand it may have more capabilities but I do not see any fan controls available on the device.

It has a single probe that measures temperature and relative humidity. It will not do what you want - measure temperature in 2 places.

It has a min and max setting and an automatic shut off switch for both temperatures but it is not set to a traditional thermostat. The settings are high and low not variable

Yes -- In the Installation Guide (69-2693-02), which I believe is available on line if not in the package, under Installer Setup, function # 0380 must be set to 1 (thermostat controls dehumidification with air conditioner). In that mode, there are 6 keypads across the bottom of the display rather than the 5 shown in this figure and the humidity control level is displayed below the temperature; actual current humidity is seen after MORE keypad is touched. Great thermostat -- especially for our house in Florida.

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.

Yes. Assuming that you mean to use the indoor sensor, go to Installer Options and select one or more sensors for the temperature reading (choosing multiple sensors, including the thermostat itself, will average the temperature readings). The indoor sensors also read humidity, but you can only choose one (but you can choose a different one for dehumidification if you'd like). If you mean to use the remote sensor (w/ display) then link it to whichever thermostat you'd like it to work with.

You need to purchase the Prestige iAQ comfort system for the humidity control. The Honeywell model we bought does not do this. Thanks

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

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 recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

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.

Measures the temperature to calculate the relative humidity. Does not control the temperature.

No it does not have that ability. There is no temperature control on the unit.
