How does the low temperature sensor work since it has to be installed in the unit in the basement, not reflecting the house temperature upstairs?

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.

Hi, well here is the scoop. I have mine located in the basement, and I go down there very little. A friend set it up for me and what I can tell you is it works very well, much better than the two I have had over the last 20 years. The basement is much dryer and smells better than it ever has. The unit does turn on and off I guess because sometimes when I do go downstairs it is not running. The light is on, right now, and the temp ready 68 degrees and humity light says 30 so that being said it must turn off and on. I hope this helps. It is very quite too.Just read the first comment and am confused because I know nothing about the timer. Maybe mine is different or MAYBE I should read the manual. Hi, well here is the scoop.

I do not think it does. I will also add that the unit I have has a very narrow temperature control range. While it maintains a constant thermostat reading, say 68 degrees, my HVAC cycles on and off repeatedly during the hour. I can turn the unit off and the indoor temp will take quite a while to actually rise or lower by one degree so the sensor seems to be triggering within tenths of a degree. This is too narrow a range for me and I am looking for a different thermostat that isn't quite so sensitive to temp changes.

The air expelled from the dehumidifier is warm and will increase the temperature of the room it's in. However the machine turns off when the humidity level you select is reached and then turns back on to keep the humidity level constant. It works well in a damp,cool basement.

This works on air temp. So it works best if you can put the thermostat out from under your house

That's how thermostats work. I set the temp a bit lower. If the tstat is near there cold air outlet you will also get a false reading so you have to set the temp lower to keep the rest of the house at the desired temp.

First of all, the sensor pad should be at the front of the bed and not the foot of the bed. Second- the cord connection goes through that housing slit so as the cord connection remains undisturbed. There are safety settings with this wonderful heat system, and one of them is if there is even a disturbance/fluctuation, you will be that 'E" reading.

The sensor and display are all one unit (the display and indoor sensor has the green screen, the other sensor show as a white square is for outside), so if you want to monitor the crawl space you need to have the display located inside the crawl space. If it were monitoring your crawl space humidity and it kicked on to add moisture the humidifier it would also kick on your furnace blower to circulate the humidity in your entire house (not just the crawl space, unless you have a separate system for your CS). As for 3. I am not sure, I don't have an issue with too much humidity because I live in Colorado and I don't use the a dehumidifier function.

Mine works all over the house and outside. I dont know about a basement specifically, but I think it would work. The monitor is really sensitive and I have never had disturbance.

The sensor is located on the under side (base)of the unit. The unit itself is located on a shopbehind the house.

I heats the floor but warms the air. The temperature sensor under the floor is where it receives its reading.

No. It will monitor the overall temperature of the house and call if it is below. In the case where the levels have no access to the level with the unit, it might make sense to have 2. I have three levels and my unit is on the first floor. A basement and bedrooms are easily monitored.

Yes unless room temperature could go below 32F. Sensors are not reliable if subject to freezing temperatures, generally.

That is accurate. I had our unit plugged into the bottom outlet in our basement. I was able to use the top outlet without any trouble.

The newer one gives the room temp as well. The older one is just a motion sensor

We have two Homedics here but only use one sensor to operate the two, suggest either buying another complete unit or checking with manufacturer for just another sensor

Yes, the temperature sensor is up there somewhere, maybe above the ceiling, not sure. We use it in quite a small room, just to move the air about. For getting hot air right out of the house we have an Air King 9166 20 Inch 3560 CFM Whole House Window Fan with Storm Guard Housing in the window of the third floor hall. It works really well, pulling all the way through the house what starts as cool air from the first floor library and the second floor office's window a/c units; cost $134.00 from www.ventingdirect.com in May this year.
