I want to have my dehumidifier come on/off automatically at a set humidity… I don’t trust the auto settings on it as it’s old and not very reliable in that sense… I recently got a Ecobee4 and have a bunch of the Visonic Door/Window sensors but they don’t do humidity… I was thinking of a Peanut Sma…

Just another note, I use the Aeotech Smart Switch’s power monitoring feature to send me a notification if the Wattage drops below a certain value. Because the bucket is full, although now that I set that up the gravity drain to my sump pump is working properly… go figure… Also very important! Make …

FYI “Peanut Plug” (the round one with 2 angled buttons) in ST did not and perhaps still does not report power, though it was advertised to do so. Also the “ST Outlet” (the rounded-square one by Centralite) reported power at 0.1 increment, very noisy logging for little-improved information. I think…

I have 3 of the ones I linked… I just use them to control on/off and don’t care about the power reporting… I have a Sense which does whole house reporting… Would be nice if it did, but don’t need it, personally. Thanks for the reply.

I have a bunch of Peanuts and Iris Plugs. I use the Iris Plugs when I need to measure power. I use the Peanuts when I just need to turn something on and off. Although I have 2 Ecobee Therms, the humidity sensors are not enough for my needs. I have found great success with the Zooz 4 in 1 multi sen…

Thanks for the reply! That Xioami is nice and cheap! :slight_smile: So there’s no native DTH for it? You finding the Xioami accurate?

So just bumping this thread… My Original Xiaomi Mi Smart Temperature and Humidity Sensor always disconnects so I want to replace it with something more reliable… Being it’s 8 months later I am asking if anyone has any good solutions for humidity sensing… Thank you.

I have a couple Aeotec multisensors and a Honeywell 9580 thermostat. They are scattered throughout the house and the readings from all 3 are within a percent or 2, unless someone showers then the sensor closest to that bathroom will increase. We have a small humidifier in the bedroom and I use the…

[image] oldcomputerwiz: Aeotec multisensors Thanks a lot for the reply… Dang, almost $60 a pop… But, as with most things… You get what you pay for… You’ve had reliability with $60 sensors… I’ve had junk with $10 sensor…

What should I get to control my dehumidifier?

You might check the thread below. I’d just use the humidity sensor in the ecobee. Aeon Multi 6 motion sensors also have a reasonably decent humidity sensor. Then, you can use SmartLighting or WebCoRE to turn the dehumidifier on or off. I have my dehumidifier on a plug using a WebCoRE piston. The thread will have examples and thoughts:
