[Migrated to Custom Capabilities] Rooms Manager: Smarter Rooms: Personalized rules based home automation with rooms Occupancy sensing from devices you already have in your home

[bangali (the rooms manager guy)]

coming next settings and rules to manage humidity.

meanwhile searching for why my humidity subscription was not working … ran in to this thread from a while ago:

Trouble triggering def someEvent(evt) function

Just a thought, as I’m dinking with a smart app looking at humidity sensors in the shower as well. The potential issue with waiting x amount of time and trying to get a previous sample is just that, you are at the mercy of the reporting interval of the device… Maybe consider using another humidity sensor in the house as your base line?, in my case I’m using the one in my thermostat as it’s not subject to localized changes. Then I set a delta above the baseline humidity so once the shower humidity exceeds that threshold we fire the “do something” stuff… This method doesn’t rely on calculating a rate of rise over time. if (currentShowerHumidity > (currentBaselineHumidity + triggerOffset)) makeItGobaby(), that type of thing.

that uses another humidity sensor to baseline what the value should be in places humidity fluctuates heavily like in a shower. then with that baseline + any offset turn on the shower exhaust fan as needed to get the humidity back to the baseline level.

the logics already written out.
