I have a question regarding a therm/humidistat operated gable fan. Is there a remote mount for the stat so the homeowner can monitor temp/humidity in the attic along with general operation of the fan. I own a contracting business and have come across this situation at least twice and believe that if it does exist I could definitely recommend this to customers.
I have spoken with my local supply house and they have no idea what I'm talking about so I get frustrated and tell them forget it. Hopefully someone with a little more hvac knowledge can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

probably $300+ for enthalpy controller, NOT installed --

talk to a beer distributor near you -- who may have one for his warehouse --
I had a friend who was manufacturing 'em in 1980.

Attics can be a can of worms. Attic pressure moves air in/out of the home. Fans creating pressure maybe a problem. As far as monitoring, I am attaching a pict of a Hygrometer with upto 3 remote sensors. With one remote 30 at thermastor.com. TB
