Leviton IPHS5 Humidity Sensor and Fan Control

The Leviton IPHS5-1LW offers a convenient way to help reduce condensation in areas of the home prone to dampness and high humidity, like bathrooms and basements. The Leviton humidity sensor and Fan Control automatically detect excess humidity in a room and responds by turning on the ventilation fan. The sensor continues to monitor the air and automatically turns the fan off when the humidity level has dropped. The humidity sensor and fan control can help reduce energy usage by operating the fan only when needed to control excess humidity.

Features and Benefits:

- Built-in timer sets the 'minimum ON time' for the ventilation fan. The sensor time settings can be custom set to 10, 20, 30 or 45 minute intervals. The sensor will continue to operate the fan for the minimum time set or until there is a reduction in room humidity level.

- A sensitivity level adjustment allows users to adjust the sensor’s sensitivity to ambient air to prevent false cycling.

- Features an Air Cycle mode which automatically turns ON the ventilation fan for a set period of time and repeats the cycle hourly (eg. 20 minutes ON/40 minutes OFF each hour).

- The device’s built-in humidistat control meets CALGREEN requirements for Indoor Air Quality and Exhaust.

Device Controls

The Leviton IPHS5 features three user-friendly adjustable settings for customized control to suit the specific ventilation needs of the room.

The Sensitivity adjustment can be adjusted to low, medium or high. This will determine at what level of humidity the fan will automatically turn on. For example, when set to 'high' the sensor is highly sensitive to the change in ambient air and will activate the fan at the earliest signs of humidity. On the 'low' setting, it will take a higher level of humidity in the air for the sensor to respond and activate the fan.

The Time control can be adjusted to set the minimum ON time of the fan. It can be set for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes or 45 minutes.

The Humidistat control has a dual function. It is used to turn ON the air cycle mode or to adjust the humidity range set points which set the minimum humidity level at which the fan will automatically operate.

At a Glance:

  • Automatically controls ventilation fan when excess humidity is detected.
  • Great for bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and home spas.
  • Lessens condensation and helps reduce mold and mildew.
  • Can be manually controlled for immediate ventilation needs.
  • Fits in a standard wallbox; a neutral wire is required.

Installation Recommendations for Bath Fan Control

- It is recommended that in large spaces the IPHS5 humidity sensor and Fan Control be placed within close proximity to the shower/tub (steam/vapor source) to most effectively measure/monitor for excess humidity.

- Ceiling heights in excess of 8 feet may affect the sensors’ ability to properly detect shower/tub steam.

- The sensor requires a closed room to properly operate. Opening a door during operation may temporarily interrupt the operating cycle.

- Changes in season may affect operation of the sensor due to ambient air temperature and humidity. Please review the sensor instructions for sensitivity and humidity adjustment if required.

Customers say

Customers like how easy it is to install the electronic switch. They say the documentation provided is very easy to follow. However, some customers have reported issues with the power of the switch. For example, they say it turns on at random times and only turns on when the AC runs. Opinions are mixed on performance, adjustability, humidity detection, and quality.

Customers are mixed about the humidity detection. Some mention it does a very good job at detecting humidity and running the fan to clear it.

120 customers mention22 positive98 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the power of the humidity meter. They mention that it seems to turn on and off at random times, and only turns on when the AC runs. It's also too sensitive and ends up coming on randomly. Some customers also report that the fan stopped turning on with any amount of steam.

"...'s a vent directly below the switch and noticed on Lo the switch wouldn't activate if my furnace blower fan was running...." Read more

"...At first the humidity level was set too low and would kick on frequently, even if no one had taken a shower...." Read more

"...This switch seems to behave arbitrarily. During the first couple of showers it activated within seconds of turning the shower on. That was promising...." Read more

Works out of the box - No changes necessary.
NOTE: Must connect to white wire in box. Most switches do not require this. This will not work without it.08 Feb 16 - Had it a day. Installed in about 40 minutes mainly due to not realizing that it requires constant power and thus requires the white wire be connected. There are 4 wires that will be connected to this. 1) The white wire (usually all of them are wired together) 2) The black hot wire (provides the actual power) 3) the ground 4) the black wire leading to your fan (could also be red). After I figured this out, it went in easily. I suggest not changing any of the settings that come default. It detects humidity very quickly and kicks the fan on. Once the threshold goes below the detection range, the fan will stay on an additional 10 minutes. Should be plenty to get the moisture out. I purchased this product because I have 4 kids and they may or may not remember to turn on the exhaust fan. I have several rentals and I had to replace a 2nd story bathroom ceiling that basically caved in due to years of moisture being trapped in the bathroom. It was a nightmare. I NEVER want that to happen again. $35 is cheap insurance to prevent this from happening again. I will install one of these there as well, but figured I would try it on my home first. When you use the restroom, you can push the button and the fan will stay on for 10 minutes. Should be more than enough to handle any bathroom odors.
