I recently got my hands on the Smartmi Rainforest Humidifier and I must say, it’s been a game-changer for my home’s humidity levels! The design is absolutely stunning, and the fact that it uses an evaporative method instead of ultrasonic makes it a great choice for those concerned about PM2.5 sensors. Plus, the ability to control it via HomeKit is a huge plus!
One thing I wanted to share is how I integrated it into my smart home setup. I set up an automation that adjusts the humidity based on the time of day. For instance, it lowers the humidity during the night to prevent condensation and raises it during the day for optimal comfort. Here’s a quick snippet of how I did it:
yaml
alias: Humidity Adjuster
trigger:
- platform: time
at: ‘07:00:00’ - platform: time
at: ‘22:00:00’
action: - service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.rainforest_humidifier
temperature: ‘{{ “70” if trigger.platform == “time” and trigger.at == “07:00:00” else “50” }}’
This has really helped maintain a balanced environment. If you’re looking to upgrade your humidity game, I highly recommend checking this one out!
