Condensation is prevented from damaging your home

There are many ways in which a dehumidifier can be controlled, with a manual humidistat being the most common. Keeping your dehumidifier set at the right setting for your home is essential for it to work effectively. At Ebac, we have worked to develop Smart Control – an automatic humidistat that does all of the adjusting for you.

What is Smart Control?

Ebac’s patented Smart Control technology is an intelligent software system that automatically controls the operation of your Ebac dehumidifier. It constantly monitors the levels of moisture in your home and automatically controls the dehumidifier to ensure it is switched on only when it needs to be. It is super intelligent and can determine that even if the RH is low, there still may be excess moisture.

How does it work?

Smart Control works by constantly monitoring the conditions in your home. It gathers data from the air in your house and automatically adjusts operation to match the need rather than to control an arbitrary relative humidity. Smart Control guarantees that the dehumidifier runs enough to prevent dampness and condensation but not too much to waste large amounts of electricity

Smart Control constantly monitors the temperature and humidity within your home. It detects when the moisture levels are getting high, even if the relative humidity is measuring low, and switches the dehumidifier on to remove excess moisture that causes condensation when the temperature falls. It also detects when the moisture levels are low, even if the relative humidity is high, and switches the dehumidifier off – which saves you money on running costs.

Smart Control is fully automatic. Once you switch your dehumidifier on and select Smart Control, you don’t need to make any adjustments to the controls, it simply runs and sleeps when it needs to. Smart Control personalises your dehumidifier to your home.

Comparison to manual humidistat

Manual humidistats are complicated. You need to frequently adjust them throughout the day to ensure that the dehumidifier runs when it needs to. If you don’t change a manual humidistat, the dehumidifier will be running at the wrong setting, therefore wasting energy and costing lots of money. Manual humidistats require much more monitoring to make sure the dehumidifier is optimised for the conditions in your home, which is why Ebac’s Smart Control is the best alternative to manual humidistats – this does all of the hard work for you.

How does it prevent condensation?

Smart Control prevents condensation by constantly monitoring the relative humidity in your home and the air. The settings can change every hour if necessary. It detects when the relative humidity is high and can automatically alter the settings to switch your dehumidifier on and off at exactly the right time.
