Hey everyone, I wanted to share my journey with humidity control and integrating smart devices in my home. I live in a unique situation where my house is built atop underground springs, which means humidity is a constant concern. I’ve been running a dehumidifier to keep things dry, but I also really love the idea of having a humidifier for those dry winter months. It’s a bit of a paradox, but I’m determined to make both work together! 
I’ve been experimenting with different setups and configurations, and I’d love to hear others’ experiences with balancing humidity levels. For instance, does anyone have tips on how to monitor and adjust humidity levels seamlessly using smart devices? I’ve heard great things about integrating devices like the Shelly 1 or other Zigbee sensors, but I’m still figuring out the best way to automate this process. On a related note, I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting. I recently set up some IKEA FLOALT panels, and while they’ve been a joy to use, I’ve noticed some quirks. For example, after about 40-50 seconds, the panels spontaneously reset to their highest brightness and coolest color temperature. It’s a bit frustrating, but I’m hopeful there’s a fix out there. Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround? Another thing I’m curious about is how others handle the integration of multiple smart devices from different brands. I’ve got a mix of Z-Wave, Zigbee, and even some HomeKit devices, and I’m always looking for ways to make them work together more seamlessly. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated! Lastly, I’ve been exploring the use of custom boards and sensors for more advanced automation. Setting up a custom board sounds intimidating, but I’m excited to give it a try. I’ve encountered some errors during the setup process, and I’d love to hear if others have faced similar challenges or have advice on troubleshooting. Overall, I’m really enjoying the journey of creating a smart, comfortable home environment. It’s a mix of problem-solving, experimentation, and learning, and I’m grateful for communities like this where I can share experiences and gain insights. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
