Review on 🌬️ In-Wall Humidity Sensor & Fan Control: Leviton IPHS5-1LW Decora, 3A, Single Pole, White by Richard Muncy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for Bathrooms: Wall Controls

My house had manual switches for exhaust fans. My family isn't very good at turning them on while showering. As a result, bathrooms have a lot of moisture, which is great for mold growth, paint damage, etc. I'm not an electrician but I have experience replacing light switches. They're pretty easy to install. Turn off the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock. Delete the old one, install this one. Turn on the power. You are basically done. Switches have settings - they're not necessarily very easy to set up. I set mine to be moisture sensitive. When someone takes a shower, the fan turns on when it detects moisture. It turns off. Mission accomplished. I love that these aren't "smart" devices that rely on additional sensors, smart hubs, etc. I wanted something that just works.
