Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of Home Assistant and I’m already loving the possibilities it offers! After successfully setting up some light switches with motion detection, I’m now tackling a new project: automating my bathroom fan using a Z-Wave humidity sensor. While the motion sensor works perfectly, I’m facing some issues with the humidity sensor triggering the automation as intended. Let me walk you through what I’ve done so far and where I might be going wrong.
I’ve paired a ZOOZ Z-Wave Plus 4-in-1 Sensor (ZSE40 VER. 2.0) with a Z-Wave in-wall switch to control the bathroom fan. The goal is straightforward: when the humidity level exceeds 50%, the fan should turn on. I’ve set up a simple automation in Home Assistant, but it doesn’t seem to register the humidity sensor’s value, even though I can see the readings in the entity details. Here’s the configuration I’m using:
yaml
- id: ‘1573007973743’
alias: Bathroom Fan On
description: ‘’
trigger:- above: ‘50’
entity_id: sensor.zooz_zse40_4_in_1_sensor_relative_humidity
platform: numeric_state
condition:
action: - device_id: 456c8971e6be46c8ae6f3a4d4a6eb014
domain: switch
entity_id: switch.jasco_products_unknown_type_4952_id_3135_switch_2
type: turn_on
- above: ‘50’
I’ve tried adjusting the trigger threshold and ensuring the sensor is correctly calibrated, but the automation still doesn’t activate when the humidity reaches the set level. I’m wondering if there’s a setting I’m missing or a common oversight in the configuration. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I’m really excited to get this working, and I can’t wait to expand my setup further once this is sorted out. Thanks in advance for your help!
