Humidity Sensor Switch and 70/90 CFM Bath Fan Combo

Hi Keith! This model does not include humidity sensing. If you’re looking for a fan that turns on automatically when moisture is detected, check out Panasonic models like WhisperChoice Auto or WhisperGreen Select, which feature built‑in humidity/condensation sensing.

Yaro, Thank you for your interest in Lutron and for your question! While I’m not able to speak in detail about the Leviton Decora Humidity Sensor, I can highlight what sets the Lutron XactSense apart so you can better compare: Automatically runs your exhaust fan as humidity rises and turns it off when levels return to normal Uses precise sensing technology to detect both gradual humidity changes and sudden spikes (like from a shower) Helps prevent mold and mildew by responding quickly and accurately Saves energy by only running the fan when needed Designed and tested to perform reliably across a wide range of environments Matches Lutron Diva-style controls for a clean, consistent look In general, the biggest differences between humidity sensors come down to how accurately and quickly they detect changes, and how reliably they avoid false triggers. XactSense is specifically engineered to deliver more precise, responsive control compared to typical humidity switches. If you’d like help deciding based on your specific bathroom setup, feel free to reach out to our 24/7 Technical Support Team at 1-888-Lutron1 (588-7661) or support@lutron.com Amy @ Lutron

Yes, this fan can be used in a hair salon bathroom. The Whisper Mighty is designed for small to medium‑sized rooms and is suitable for removing humidity and general air pollutants in bathroom environments. It provides 70 or 90 CFM ventilation and is ENERGY STAR® certified, offering efficient, quiet performance. For a hair salon bathroom, just make sure the chosen CFM level meets the room’s ventilation requirements. If the bathroom is larger or experiences heavier moisture or odor load, you may want to size up to a higher‑CFM model.

Yes, the grille cover can be painted as long as you remove it from the fan first and use a light coat of spray paint to avoid blocking the ventilation openings. Be sure to paint only the outer grille and allow it to fully dry before reinstalling it.

Hello! The MS-HS3 can be installed on the load side of a GFCI. We do not recommend using the MS-HS3 to control the GFCI.

The WhisperMighty Pick‑A‑Flow 70/90 CFM fan draws 0.26 amps.

The intention of this fan is for a new construction installation or a remodel down to the studs.
