Humidity control HAI?

[N49atv]

I plan to have 4 thermostats in my house (top floor, main level, basement, and theater). I was hoping to have inside and outside humidity feedback. I also was only going to prob have 2 zones hooked up at start, but maybe 3. I'd like to have a humidity sensor in my 2 upper bathrooms (1/2 bath doesn't concern me). What are my options? The only ones I have found are ugly. I don't see a remote humidity option off an RC2000. So what are my options? Anything that doesn't look out of place on the wall? Or anything that I can wire remote flush sensors with dry contacts?

Thanks.

RC2000 does have humidity control. By remote do you mean you want to hook a sensor to it? I believe you can do that also.

I see you can hook a temp up. I'd like to mount a small humidity sensor in my bathrooms and have it trigger my fan on if I forget. I plan on using wisperline fans so I didn't want it to come on with light every time, as I'm looking at 6" or 8" with multiple grills. So they are gonna move some serious air. I just hate humidity buildup on the walls mirror.

You can buy fans that have the humidty sensor and control built in. JFYI.

Yeah, I'd like to use inline fans for their flow to noise ratio. I hate the noisy fans, though they are getting better, the 8" is rated for 400cfm with no static pressure (well .2) so realistic is 330-350. But I was thinking of going with the 6" for big bathroom. No chance of humidity collecting. Also nice to branch off and mount one next to shower, one vent next to jet tub, and one over toilet.

I don't think you can add remote humidity sensor to RC2000, it has a built-in sensor. Do you plan to use  HA controller like HAI or Elk or have stand-alone thermostats? HAI makes temp/humidity sensor, that is what we use in our bathroom to control Fantech inline fan.

I plan to go OPII. I saw the one in the catalog. 31A00-8 but it looked pretty big. Was hoping for a little flush mount like their remote temp. How big is it? Where did you mount it?

The sensor is not flush, just a small plastic box, we have it mounted next to the shower on a white wall and it does not look too conspicuous. Works well with OP2.
