ADDING A SCENARIO

The Scenario feature allows you to set up multiple Dehumidiﬁers under one Scenario and control them on one dashboard as needed. When you click on the Scenario, all Dehumidi-ﬁers will switch ON at the same time using previous settings.

E.g.
If you had set up a Dehumidiﬁer in the Living Room and one in the Basement, you can create a “Scenario 1” to switch both dehumidiﬁers on at the same time.

Tap the Smart control button.

ADDING AN AUTOMATION SCENARIO

The Automation Scenario feature allows you to set up multiple dehumidiﬁers under one Scenario and it will automatically activate those dehumidiﬁers when there is a change in outdoor environment conditions.

Pre-Set Outdoor Humidity Conditions:

Dry: 0-40%RH
Comfortable: 40-70%RH
Moist: above 70%RH

When a change in outdoor condition is met, the pre-set Automation Scenario will switch ON or OFF all Dehumidifiers set up in that Automation Scenario.

E.g.
If you had set up a Dehumidifier in the Living Room and one in the Basement, you can create an “Automation Scenario 1” to switch both dehumidifiers on at the same time when outdoor humidity changes from “Comfortable” to “Moist”. When the outdoor humidity changes to “Moist” level , the dehumidifiers will automatically switch ON using previous settings. The Dehumidifiers will continue running until internal room humidity reaches previous desired humidity settings.

IMPORTANT
If environment conditions remain constant, for example, it stays “moist”, the Dehumidifier will not activate automatically unless it senses a change in the pre-set humidity conditions from “Dry” to “Comfortable” or “Comfortable” to “Moist”.

Tap the Smart control button.
Tap Automation.
Tap Add Automation Scenario.
Tap Edit Name to set the name of the automation scenario.
Tap the background to set the background image of the automation scenario.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this model pump vertically?

No, you need the next model up for it to have a pump. This model does not have a pump. It will, however, drain through a hose of you have positive, downhill draining.

Does the App work when you're not home and don't have Alexa?

I returned the unit. It was impossible to get it on WiFi.

What is the capacity of the bucket?

The manual doesn't specify a capacity, but it is less than a gallon. I run it in continuous mode. At best, it has never gotten the relative humidity to less than 52%. Personally, I would not recommend this unit

Does this unit automatically shut off once the container is full?

Yes, it automatically shuts off when the bucket is full. If you set up the app via wifi, it'll text or email you (don't remember which) when it's full or the filter needs changing. It's pretty cool, actually. I have the water automatically drained and when the tube got clogged, the machine filled the bucket and let me know it was full.

Does the unit automatically start up again after a power outage?

That is a great question that I would not have thought to ask. My power was out briefly (1-2 minutes) last night, and the unit started right up, so the answer is yes.

Does it shut off when it reaches the desired humidity?

When the unit reaches the desired level of humidity, the fan and the compressor both shut off. Please feel free to get in touch with us at info at mark dot com for more information and assistance.

How long is the drain hose included?

The drain hose is only about 3' long and maybe 5/16

Does it beep when full? I want it silent at night.

I do not believe it beeps. Just a red light and notification on your phone you pair it. I had it in my main level for the first week or two until I could prep my crawl space. It's down there now, draining through a hose it fills and I can't remember for sure.

How long is the drain hose included?

About 3 or 4 feet. It isn't very long but it works well. I put my humidifier on a chair to help it drain consistently. The hose has a connector for the machine so it isn't really replaceable. Mine's held up over a year without any issues.

Where can I purchase a replacement drain hose for this?

The hose is not proprietary to the machine. You can fit a replacement hose from any hardware store as long as the inside diameter is the correct size.

Can you start this unit with app after electric outage if you are not there?

Not that I'm aware of unless it's been programmed into your house's smart system.

Does the app inform you when the dehumidifier is full?

You have to open the app to see any error messages. It doesn't notify you by text or email, which would be ideal. The app let's you know when the tank is full, the filter needs to be changed, or the dehumidifier isn't working. You can turn the machine on and off and change the humidity settings through the app, too. I have my dehumidifier automatically empty into the drain and the app let me know that something was wrong with the hose and the tank was full. Once I fixed the problems with the hose, I only had to clean the filter. I've had this for a year. It's very convenient.
