Humidity sensor

Updated: 2 Nov 2024
Description

The Humidity Sensors feature in the Smart PIERRE app allows users to monitor and manage humidity levels in their home. Users can control the Humidity sensor from both the Dashboard and the Menu.

Key benefits of the Humidity sensor include:

1. Monitoring Humidity Levels:

  • The sensor provides a real-time display of the current humidity level on the Dashboard, enabling users to track changes in air moisture and maintain optimal conditions.

2. Long Press for Advanced Options:

  • A long press on the sensor icon provides access to the Edit and Used In tabs. The Edit tab allows users to edit the name, update the picture, enable or disable Humidity Offset, and if enabled, set the Humidity Offset using +/- controls. The Used In tab shows all automations where the sensor is integrated.

3. Automation Integration:

  • Humidity sensors can be integrated into automations to regulate heating, cooling, or fan coils. For example, if the humidity exceeds a certain level, the system can trigger a Fan Coil or Air conditioner to cool the space and reduce humidity, ensuring a comfortable environment.

The Humidity Sensors feature integrates seamlessly with the PIERRE smart home system, offering real-time monitoring and automation to maintain optimal humidity levels and improve overall comfort and air quality.

Automation for the Fan Coil
Description

If you want to change the status of the Fan Coil to On or Off based on a sensor or trigger, it should be configured here. Additionally, if you want the Fan Coil to operate according to a predefined Humidity level (greater than, less than, or between specific values), this can also be set here through automation.

Fan Coil will turn On, when Humidity sensor shows humidity level that  is larger than 50 %.

You can find Fan Coil on the Dashboard or on the I/O list.
