Humidity controller for apex
 
Hi
I am wondering what humidistat people are using with their apex systems via breakout box to control a ventilation fan...
Cheers

I have not. But just an opinion.
Any mechanical style humidistat would work . The ones off humidifiers . Set it at 40 % wire it as you would a float switch to the breakout box .The humidistat are usually normally open.
Then Program an outlet when switch closed to on .this will activate the dehumidification. Fan , Hrv, furnace fan . Anything.
I'd add a 5 Minuit delay on reactivation

I just wired an exhaust fan directly to a typical household humidistat because I couldn't think of any reason why I wouldn't want to have the room purged when the humidity gets too high. I have a separate cooling fan controlled by the Apex for when the tank gets too warm.

That's a great idea... Save a spot on the BB for another float or something
Thanks
