Hi everyone,
new member here, from Canada. I've been an home owner for 7 years so I'm not totally noob with DIY, but I'm moving to a condo closer to work and there's new stuffs for me to learn/ask help.
I'm deep into home automation (Home Assistant+Node Red is crazy good and relatively easy) and replacing switch/dimmer is easy for me.
I also want to automate heating/cooling. However, in my new condo, it's not traditional baseboard heaters + air exchanger + split air conditionning as I had at my house. It's kind of a big one-trick poney device that I'm not even sure how to name.
The "thing" is a Goodman air handler model : awuf180316bc
My questions are :
Thanks everyone for your help and I'll give back to the community in the home automation subforum :smile:

My questions are :
- What is this "thing" and does it really do all 3 (AC + Heating + Air Exhanging)
- Is the "thing" also taking care of RH (humidity - see pictures below)
- My understanding is that the first controller below is for heating/cooling only
- My understanding is that the SECOND controller below is for air exchanger (and maybe RH ?)
- Finally, can these two devices be both integrated in the Ecobee smart thermostat, as they're close and the Ecobee does Heating+Cooling+AirExchanging+RH) ?
