Hi All, I need some assistance with IAQ installation. I called Honeywell and setup the R jumper to the DHM1 and DHM2 to BK on the A/H board. We turned off Comfort-R for now on jumpers 5 and 6. I pulled out my hand dandy multimeter and measured V at DHM1 and DHM2. I'm measuring 23.x V from DHM1 like I would espect? Also, I would think that I should be measuring lower V at DHM2 when the system is trying to lower humidity, but I don't seem to be. Still measuring in the 23.x range. I have the Stat set for 1 on 370 and 379. I set the humidity lower on the stat as well, but I don't see any voltage drops on the EIM to signify the stat controlling fan speed. What gives? Anything else I can check or I could be doing wrong? I noticed there was no jumper between R and BK on my A/H board already and nothing hooked into BK at all. So I ran the DHM2 wire to the BK connection on the AH board. I've checked for posts in history and it seems I'm doing everything right. I understand the IAQ only lowers fan speed 80% and it doesn't lower voltage that much? I think at one point I did see it at 22V, but I'm not sure now. 80% doesn't seem like very much. Makes me wonder if the IAQ DOD is really better then Comfort ramp up schedule. thanks all, Dale

It was my understand that a subject title had to be at least 15 characters....not that it was limited to that. And 15 characters seems very arbitrary ;-) Another little Houzz annoyance.

Looks like there is a lot of opportunity for rain garden locations! Maybe around that tree - make the bed bigger. Or on the other side of the porch for a "book end". But I suppose you need to walk off the patio too - so you wouldn't want to be hemmed in. Looks like a lot of good options!

MrsPete, that's an interesting point about taxes. I wonder what the difference is, for an additional bathroom? I don't know how much more taxes would run, but I'm sure it's different across the nation -- and it's subject to change. Maybe the OP's space could be configured as one bath plus a half-bath (toilet and sink)? Or a bathing area ... connected to a half bath. I am 75. I know NO ONE my age who still shares a bathroom with her husband. And they haven't for years. All the husbands have been kicked out to a 2nd bath in the house, down the hall. I'm only 52, but I don't know any married couple who does this. No one my own age. Not my grandparents, whom I lived with during my college years /while they were roughly your current age. Not my parents who are currently your current age. If one can afford a house that price, one can afford the taxes (how much could it possibly raise ones taxes to have one more bath?) and help to clean them. I don't think it's about being able to afford; rather, it's about using your resources wisely. Having more doesn't mean it's right to waste. But adding a second toilet to a master bathroom that already has two sinks, a shower and separate tub isn't going to result in it being assessed as an additional bathroom, and it isn't going to substantially, if at all, raise the property taxes. That makes sense from a tax perspective, but it still leaves you with an extra toilet that needs cleaning each week, is subject to breakdowns, and is only going to be used for minutes each day. I maintain it's a poor use of resources. Absolutely true. But resale is resale. And just because you think something is a bad idea, doesn't mean that everyone does. I am convinced that the majority of homeowners look at price and finishings rather than function -- but you're right: that's resale.
