I have two separate habitats right next to each other. Could I use this to control the temperature in one and the humidity in the other one?

No, the device that measures humdity and temperature is designed for one area. Unless you wanted to run both habataits with the same settimgs. But I would be hessitant because depending on placement one habitat could be either getting to much or to less. As the device can only detect one area

No, There is only 1 sensor that measures both heat and humidity in one habitat. You would need 2 if you wanted to monitor both.

No, there is only one sensor for both heat and humidity. So you would have to put that into one habitat or the other.

This is a humidistat not a thermostat it will activate based on humidity not temperature. This might not be what you are looking for.

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!

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 believe so but since I only have 1 HVAC, I suggest you research manufacturer specs to make sure. Just note that, as mentioned in my review, this product drops from WIFI so it is NOT as dependable as I wanted it to be. I find myself having to reset this often because whenever I want to control remotely, it is "disconnected"...which defeats the purpose of having it. You mileage may vary. I did try 4 different WIFI access points just to rule out incompatibility issues.

If you're asking whether one unit can independantly control two separate heating/cooling zones, the answer is no. For two zones, you'll need to purchase two thermostats. I've just completed a two zone installation in my home this weekend. Be aware that, unlike the Nest, these units do not communicate in any way with each other. Thus, for instance, when unit one is heating it will show both heat and fan active, but the other unit will show both as idle.

There's no easy way to do it. You can fiddle with the settings. The temperature also depends on the size of the room.

I don't see why not. I would put them on different time delays for a power failure so they both wouldn't try to call you at the same time. I assume you want two units for temperature monitoring.

I don't think this controller is that "intelligent". You can set a temperature and a humidity and it switches "on/off" to a plug that you plug your heater and mister into, based off the response it gets from the sensor you hang into your habitat. I didn't see anywhere in the programming for a timer.....but think you could get there by adding a plug in timer that will only run the controller at the time window you select. For that, the timer would plug into the outlet first, then this controller into it, then the heater and mister into the controller.

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.

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

Yes it can. It is a mechanical adjustable switch that senses the humidity in the air. It has built in hysteresis (dead band). I rigged it up with small relay and relay socket both rated for 120VAC, 15A....the function was for it to control a dehumidifier (the humidstat in the humidifier is broken but it still functions otherwise) so I had to wire it normally closed. When the humidity goes up, the humidistat circuit opens, the relay closes, and then humidifer turns on...the reverse happens when humidity goes down. Works great!

There are no controls or humidity function as part of the unit. Indirectly, any cooling unit by its functions will remove a certain amount of humidity. I have two of these identical units and in each one I keep an open Rubbermaid 1-quart container with water to help maintain proper humidity levels. I bought a digital temperature/humidity meter and with the pan of water, the units maintain 70% humidity +/-. I think you'd have to pay 2-3 times as much for a high end unit with humidity control. Overall I been very happy with the units.

Yes it can. But it's a thermostat, and how would the space stay conditioned if it's subject to the outside.

you don't need a humidity sensing switch, you might want to go with a timer that keeps the fan running for a certain time after manually initiated
1211766
You could do so by mounting the unit to a larger panel that is cut to fit your window opening. The dehumidistat may not be the control you want, though. You may want to either set it to the lowest humidity setting, or bypass it, as you probably want to control the fan by your garage air temperature. Check to see if company offers similar unit with thermostat instead.

Should be no problem, as long as you have enough static vents to supply air when both are running, these are usually located in the eaves. If you don't, you could create a negative pressure situation and suck air from inside your house. Although I don't see the point of having both go out, the point is to remove heat from the ceiling. I would think going from the shady side of the house to the sunny side, both blowing the same direction would be the most effective way to do that.
