Looking for a cheap dopamine hit ;) - Lemmy.World

I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it. I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered. Any ideas for a new thing I can play with?

Hook up your bathroom fan to a humidity sensor

Automate any window blinds

Bathroom fan connected to a humidity sensor is my (and my family’s )absolute favorite automation. I spent so much time on my system setting up sensors, configuring things, etc, but nothing gives me more delight than when I’m taking a shower, the fan kicks on automatically and then shuts off automatically.

I haven’t had to deal with foggy mirrors in years!

What does your logic look like for the humidity uptick? I tried the trending integration (or something like that), but couldn’t get it to work properly. Does the fan trigger on a sudden spike in humidity? Do you compare “ baseline” values with another sensor in another room?
@acceptable_pumpkin @person420 sorry for jumping in, here's my logic for dehumidifier (2 sensors and a floating trigger threshold) https://blog.rozman.info/bathroom-dehumidifying-using-a-moving-humidity-threshold/
