One less thing to worry about
I’m very found of my new device. For me, automation is the way to go in every aspect and this switch helps with that. It replaced my regular switch with no modifications needed and works as expected. I set it to trigger at 55 and stay on for 4 minutes. Sometimes it goes through that cycle twice and it’s great. No more having to come out of the shower to turn the fan on or coming out of the bed because I forgot it on.

Needs Better Engineering
I normally give 5 stars, but I really hope the manufacturer reads this one. This has such potential to be perfect. It looks really good and the controls are almost right. Would be great if someone thought of a symbol or word that meant “On 2x”, or a single featured button that powers with a single click, instead of M with no guest aware that it needs to be tapped twice.But the humidity detector is not making the cut. It’s either too far recessed, needs better ventilation, needs a tiny fan, or needs to be mounted visibly on the exterior. Maybe it just needs the in-wall portion of it’s exterior to be better sealed.It will trigger at 60%, run for about 1 min, and then turn off because it reads 40% from the in-wall air running through the humidity detector and into the steamy bathroom, where condensation is still coating the mirrors and walls. Me blowing at it for two seconds during that gets it right up to 80%, aaand a minute later it shows 40% again and turns the fan off way too early

Excellent features. Standard install.
Excellent features. Inexpensive. Works perfectly.Mode features … ranges are not enough… allowed range fluctuations need to be lower. Humidity level control range increments/ decrements are 5% .. should be less like 2.You can set the humidity ranges .. 40 45 50 .. then it does not kick off until 43 48 53Can not set 47 etc..Not easy to operate.

Works as expected.
I originally bought the Leviton humidity switch for our small bathroom. It never came on automatically so I returned it. This one works much better; in fact exactly how I hoping the Leviton would work. With the display you know exactly what’s going on. In default mode, it comes on when the humidity hits 60%. Stays on until the humidity drops to 50%. I ended up changing the on time from 1 minute to 15 because I found it turning off before the mirror completely clears. 2 things I’d like improved. 1) the buttons don’t respond with the first touch; that just turns on the backlight. You then have to hit M again to get a response. I’d like to have it be easier/more obvious to turn on the fan manually. I don’t think guests would be able to figure it out. Overall. Wry satisfied

Poor usability design and functionality.
I’m a software engineer and if I had trouble with this, I can’t imagine the average Joe.My criticisms will be somewhat technical. But if you want the TL;DR this product just SUCKS. Here’s why.- Turning on the fan is a confusing double press of the “M” key. 1st press turns on the light, 2nd press turns on the fan. Super confusing for guests.- Menus are labeled by numbers, which you have to cross-reference with the manual to understand what they control. Otherwise, they just look like a bunch of random numbers. No text.- Humidity sensor requires calibration, otherwise, switch will turn on at the wrong times.- Switch often does not turn on when the mirror is obviously foggy—– Technical Feedback —–This product has a flawed approach to sensing humidity. Humidity is something that fluctuates as part of the weather. A rainy day will trend your indoor humidity higher than a sunny day. The Ortis switch doesn’t monitor the room’s humidity for these changes. Instead, it keeps it at a setpoint RH%. This means that it’s possible for your bathroom fan to run nonstop on a rainy day just because the RH% is higher than your setpoint.A better approach to this rather than acting like a thermostat is to monitor the room’s RH% over a long period of time and look for rapid spikes in humidity, like when you’re taking a shower. There are switches the likes of Leviton that do this for you without you having to think about it. It’s my belief that a smart switch should make your lifestyle easier, not harder.Note on usability:The interface is poorly programmed with menus being represented by numbers and confusing instructions even when you read them word-by-word. If I have to pull out the instructions every time I use it, I can imagine that guests would be intimidated by a switch like this and just never turn on the bathroom fan.

Works well, easy to program, will work for a humidifier or dehumidifier depending on how its set. Installed in 5 min. We’ll worth the purchase. Replaced my timer switch with this.

Works great. I left it at the factory default settings which are working perfectly. The translated to English instructions are pitiful and very hard to decipher. So far so good, even my neighbour wanted me to buy her one.

Worked well for 2 to 3 months but now it’s not working consistently, it take too much time to start and often it is after the shower is finish and then it run for 1 minute, I tried everything in the settings to make more sensitive and runs longer but it’s not.I can’t find a way in amazon to ask for warranty replacement. the product have less that a year.

Quite unreliable and unintuitive to operate. It shows 60% humidity or less, yet the bathroom is dripping wet right after shower. Setting it to manual is finicky. Making it stop in manual mode takes way too many button clicks. It cycles too often – the humidity would show below the off set point, not even a minute after starting and it would turn off, then it climbs quickly again so it starts up again. The readings should be smoothed out over a longer period, like 5min. There should be a dedicated start/stop button and another for auto/manual. Starting in auto should start the fan for an adjustable period of time. Stopping it in auto should stop it for an adjustable period of time. Starting/stopping it in manual should start/stop it until stopped/started by user. Long press in auto should start/stop it until user presses the start/stop again. That’s how this controller should have been programmed.After a week I decided to put back the old humidistat. Added a 5min time On delay relay in series with the fan, so that it doesn’t start right away, and that solved the problem of not being able to pause it for a bit until I finish showering.
