Yes, if you re-provision a wireless interface, then we recommend that you also delete and re-provision the adapter connected to an existing kumo station device.
When the outside air temperature (OAT) sensor is below the lockout temperature that has been configured in the app, if there is a heat demand, the Supplemental channel should turn on without delay. In this instance, the Heat-pump should not turn on. Sometimes it takes a few moments for the system to sync and if communications drop due to a bad Wi-Fi or internet signal, there could be a delay.
Yes, you can use kumo touch (MHK2) to sense temperature for a humidifier or dehumidifier. In the app, you can choose which remote sensor to control a specific humidifier when setting up the humidifier in the kumo station setup.
Delay for backup heat sets the amount of time allowed for the heatpump to raise the zone temperature by 0.5°C (0.9°F) before backup the heat is turned on. This information can be found in the installer settings.
NOTE: It is recommended that this not be changed without consulting the installing contractor. The zone temperature must also be 1.5°C (2.7°F) below setpoint.
After the outside air temperature (OAT) sensor reads that the outdoor temperature is below a specified temperature, the system waits for a delay time to energize the channel that has the connected backup heater. The default delay setting that kumo station waits before bringing on the backup heat is 20 minutes.
As for what temp the backup heater should run at, we recommend that your technician determine this based on your geographic location and how often you would like to run the backup heater.
We recommend that your technician test the backup heat by putting the outside air temperature (OAT) sensor in ice water to simulate near-freezing conditions.
