my Aprilaire humidifier controller stopped working cheap pos. I could have bought a $25-30 replacement, or this $80 version that has digital readout and outside temp sensor to adjust indoor humidity to outdoor temp. But the device requires two 120v -> 24v AC transformers one to run the humidifier when the furnace is on (my old controller was powered by one that was installed when the uni twas installed), the other to power the digital readout 24/7 even when the furnace is off. So add $12-15 to the cost for the transformer. Not worth it!

Easy installation (make sure you've got a 12VDC transformer connection or you'll have to add one.) Cabling and mounting the exterior thermister was simple.
I love the fact that I no longer have to manually lower the humidity level when the outside temp plunges. Training was easy...took about a week with two or three minor adjustments. Works flawlessly. No more condensation on the windows...wish I would have invested a long time ago, well worth it.

Works well to boost humidity in the midst of winter to max level without window condensation. Looks attractive. Had professional install.
Honest reviews on Aprilaire RP-58 Humidifier Humidistat Control #58 RP58
So it turns out that this is actually not only a fix, but a nice upgrade. The unit always tells me the percentage of the humidity of the air in the cold air plenum with a bold led lighted display, which is very cool. The unit also has the fault lights to advise me of any defects in the humidifier system. Both of these features were nonexistent on the original factory unit. So far, it seems that I have a great upgrade for my Aprilaire 760A humidifier.

I was tired of having to manually adjust my humidistat during the winter. I've dropped the ball one too many times on doing it and now have some permanent water damage on some trim woodwork that I'll have to replace. I installed this over the course of a weekend with no problems and it works perfectly. The instructions are clear. Don't forget if you are also upgrading from a "manual mode" humidistat, to this one, you'll probably need an additional 24v transformer such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002T0ZTUU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2).
