Temp/Humidity Sensor that is Water Tight? - Steam Shower Application

[scooter133]

I’d like to get better control of my Bath Fan. We put in a Steam shower and since we can be in the steam shower longer that the Motion sensor can see us and time out I would like to have the Temp/Humidity sensor INSIDE the shower and then trigger the Fan if the Temp/Humidity it at a certain level.

With the Steam shower EVERYTHING in there gets wet so I’d need a sensor that is water tight. Though I can’t fond any Specs on a sensor that is water/rain tight.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

There are several sensors that work using probes where the probe itself is completely waterproof, and it is attached via cable so that the more delicate electronics can be placed outside the difficult environment. You might look into something like that.

Putting a Fortrezz WWA-02AA in my shower

So I am thinking about putting a Fortrezz WWA-02AA in my shower, and creating a SmartApp to do the following: 1.) Turn on Hue shower light when moisture is sensed, setting its hue to blue. 2.) Changing the hue of the Hue lamp to another color when it warms up to x degrees. 3.) Shutting the Hue lamp down after x minutes. 4.) Ignoring all sensor input for x minutes/hours (giving enough time for moisture to evaporate and prevent additional triggers). I suppose my first question is will the moisture under the contacts indeed evaporate in a reasonable amount of time, or would water be trapped between the sensor contacts and the tile floor of the shower for too long, making this not workable at all?
