Easy to upgrade panel to use with phone app Rainbird
Easy install. Just unplug the wiring harness and pull off the old panel and re-plug in the new upgrade panel, and install the new panel. Then log onto the app, and sync the new panel to the phone app.
Great product and easy to use the app.

Awesome Efficient Humidification System Aprilaire 400
I did a lot of research on this Aprilaire 400 humidifier vs the 600. My home is 2,500 sf and the specs for this model says it is adequate. I was debating between the 600 and this model, the 400. Ultimately, I picked this model for its efficient water usage and after a lot of use I am positive I made the right choice. Unlike other humidifiers this one does not drain water unless there is a problem. Water still comes in from the top and flows over the water panel but water flow stops when a holding reservoir/cup gets filled on the bottom. Other models just keep running water until there is no longer a call for humidity by the humidistat. The water in the cup is then wicked up and then water flow turns on again, This happens over and over as needed.
Installation was pretty straight forward. It took $75 worth of parts at the hardware store and about 6 hours to get it installed. Tape the supplied template/outline on either the supply (make sure it's above the AC Coil) or the return duct and cut a hole. Find a spot for the bypass (a 6" round duct) on the other duct and make a hole there. The unit mounts the duct with several screws (self tapping sheet metal screws make fast work)
I chose to mount the unit on the return side to avoid any future water issues. I used a jig saw and a metal cutting blade.
I used metal sealing tape on the edges of the unit itself and all the duct joints. I used one adjustable 90 degree elbow and a short 24" section of straight duct to make the connection between the unit and the bypass.
Now for the water. I did more research on this than I care to admit. Here's what I kept reading, if the furnace does not have long run cycles then run hot water to the humidifier. They explained it that if the furnace doesn't get hot for a long time then the humidifier will not work as efficient. So, with that logic I ran hot water to it. The kit includes a saddle valve which makes for an easy install. I used a sharkbite valve that is made for ice maker connections. This took more time than anything else. Once the valve was in, I ran the shortest possible length of tubing to the humidifier in an attempt to keep the incoming hot water as hot as possible. After running the humidifier for some time now, my opinion is the hot water makes no difference. The water flow doesn't run enough to keep it hot for very long. I found that water will run for maybe 1 minute max before the fill cup fills and shuts off the water. After a couple minutes the cup will empty and water will run again, but this time for even less time because the water panel is already wet. The heat from the furnace, even on a short run time, seems to do just fine.
Next was the wiring. The wiring is fairly complicated for the digital control. This digital control can be wired for manual use or fully automatic that uses the outside humidity level to determine the proper interior humidity level. I wired the control for maximum usage of all the features. Turn off power to the furnace to avoid frying the board. I tapped into an existing 24VAC line for the power, connected all the wiring: C (common) and H (humidifier) from the furnace board, the white and yellow from the humidifier and the outside temp sensor wires to the humidistat. I mounted the humidistat before the humidifier on the cold air return. (see photos)
The humidistat will work in automatic mode based on outside temperature. I set it to level "5". The humidity levels started to rise very quickly once I got everything running.
