My 8190ff was delivered today. I’ll be hooking it up to the e100 pro, which aprilaire said would work if I add a transformer to it which aprilaire also sells. What I’m wondering is, in the winter how do I get fresh air into the house since the dehumidifier will be not running? I had ordered a Panasonic ERV and decided to return it in favor of this product since I already have the aprilaire e100 pro
Can the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium control the ventilation separately from the dehumidifier? Since the the ecobee can detect poor air, I'd like it to control the ventilation.
Thank you for your question! We have developed these ventilation lockouts in conjunction with ASHRAE standards.
