Product Overview
Leviton’s DHS05-1LW Decora Humidity Sensor Switch and Fan Control detects excess humidity in a room and automatically activates an exhaust or ventilation fan helping to reduce condensation and provide a more comfortable environment. The sensor uses state-of-the-art digital sensing technology to continuously monitor and manage moisture levels in areas of the home prone to humidity like bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and spas. Replaces an existing switch and can be used with most bathroom or ventilation fans or fan/light combinations. Easy DIY install with slim depth for an easier fit in the wallbox, interchangeable line and load wires to help prevent miswiring, and a green flex sleeve that connects to ground or neutral when the sleeve is removed. User-friendly customization to adjust sensitivity, humidity level and time out settings and easy color change using the DHKIT faceplates available in white, ivory, light almond, gray, black and brown. Use with Decora Wallplate and Decora Plus Screwless Wallplate sold separately.
