Review on Honeywell H8908B Whole House Humidistat by Michael Altayeb

I may have tunnel vision but the mount on this unit only seems to be suitable for duct mounting. A half-inch flange runs behind the unit as a unit with a mounting plate that slides into the duct. You can wall mount it, but the unit doesn't flush mount as expected and doesn't have access to room air. A side shot wouldn't hurt. I replaced the surface mount remote by making a mounting block out of a piece of hard white Azek (a product that replaces plastic wood). I didn't want to make a hole in the plaster wall to measure the moisture in the wall. The description says it can be installed remotely. They don't tell you how much fun you'll have with it or how room air will get in because it really can't be done without modification. NOW I look at all the reviews that discuss the inaccuracies. I would return it if I didn't already have it installed. I'll find out if I've had any luck with accuracy when a replacement valve turns up, or I'll calibrate the Kobold since it's mine now.
