can this be paired with a moisture detecting wall mount switch?

This is what I purchased: Panasonic FV-WCCS1-W WhisperControl Three-Function On/Off Switch, White

Yes it can. I've paired mines with the moisture switch. I haven't got the bathroom to a high humidity yet to have it automatically turn on, but I've tested it and it works as promised.

I would think that depends on the moisture level (humidity). It would certainly work but if the gauge itself is in the same high humidity environment as the probe, it might not have as long a life. I use mine at ambient room conditions with the probe in a lab oven at 113F and 70% humidity. Works great but my gauge display is always cool and dry.

Ours is mounted to wall switch. a note: ordered four(4) all in excellence condition upon receipt.

If there are a set of contacts (like from the push button on the wall), you can tie into that and it should work. It should be low voltage, however (+/- 5 volts).

So this is better to place in the water pan under the water heater or heat pump, and it only detects ambient temperature. The moisture pins are under the system and would have to lay facing the ground only no mounting.

My guess is that it should. A humidistat is a humidistat. It is really a switch that closes when your setting for humidity is exceeded in case of AC or to low in case of heat.

Yes but I dont recomend this unit for wall mount since the do not send the proper value part for wall mount.

These sensors do indeed have a pair of terminals on the circuit board that can be used with an external switch to trigger the sensor. I am using one of these sensors and triggering it with an outdoor passive IR motion sensor to send a motion alert to my Vera home controller.

Yes. You could be risking moisture on electrical components. Temperature controlled environment would be a better way to go.

I think it could be mounted either way.. I just fastened mine to a post and installed a male plug on one end and a female plug on the other ,and plugged it in line with the dehumidifier. The wires come out of the back,so mounting on the wall would require a hole through the wall for the wires.

I hardwired the wall switch to be "ON" all of the time. The only problem is that the humidity sensor sometimes starts the fan in response to changes in the room air even when the shower is not in use. Darn kids!

I don't believe so. As far as I know, this Wet Switch is designed to be used for the HVAC (Furnace). If you do a search on the internet on "Wet Switch Installation", you'll see that it has wires that you connect to the HVAC unit. It is designed to turn off the furnace once it detects water/moisture. My HVAC technician installed it. I am not an electrician or HVAC specialist. This is all I know. Sorry that I'm not much of a help.

yes and no. this switch is rated for 12v dc. the indicator light will immediately fry if used on 120 or 220 volts ac. other than that dust should be no problem.

No wall switch should be compatible with fan controller, as long as It's wired correctly.

Yes, as long as you have room for the wires to connect to the fixture, I used a waterproof junction box which is part of many lamp setups. You will need an extra hole in the box to mount the stem of the motion detector that isn't shown in the photo.

I've not actually used the switch but I wouldn't trust it for that purpose. Dirt could get inside it and the switch itself doesn't appear to be waterproof.

Hard wired feed from breaker box which feeds only this dehumidistat travels through the dehumidistat which is mounted in what I felt like was a central "dead-air" spot that might monitor humid conditions better on to a hard wired receptacle at the fan location.
