Rule machine hysteresis

[pascal]

I’m looking to have the humidifier in our bedroom turn on when the humidity is below 40 until it reaches 45, then turn off.

what is the best way to go about this? I can write a smart app for it, though it seems that rule machine might be able to do this already.

I was going to try two rules in rule machine, unfortunately smart plugs don’t show under the capabilities to select for a rule - power does - though I wanted to use that to see if it was empty (has auto shutoff)

I would like a rule:
if humidity <= 40% and plug is off then on
if humidity > 45% then set plug off

and the last:
if outlet is on and power = 0 then notify me the humidifier is out of water

I’ve set up some rules for my front porch lights. I haven’t figured out how to do with any less than “4” separate rules. I’d like to simplify this as much as possible. What I want: Lights come on 20 minutes prior to sunset, go off at 11 pm, and be set to 30% When either my wife or I come home between sunset and 11pm, even if the other is already there, the lights go from 30% to 99% for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes they go back to 30%. If it is after 11 pm and before sunrise, I want the lights t…
