Does anyone know of a humidity sensor that works well with SmartThings? I want to turn a humidifier in my basement on and off based on humidity levels.

The Aeon Multi Sensor has humidity but there are few SmartApps / canned scenarios that take advantage of it.

So turning on/off a smart outlet to control a basement humidifier wouldn’t be a doable scenario?

Yes. Check out this that was just posted minutes ago.
I have the code written, but I am running into a problem simulating. It appears the Aeon only sends humidity like every 3 or 4 hours (annoying to test with)
So when I create a virtual humidity device, it reports its evt.value as 40% and not an unformatted number like 40 so when I try to do any math with it I get an error. According to my real Aeon multi events, the evt.value is properly formatted as a number.
—fixed with Double.parseDouble(evt.value.replace("%", “”)) —
