Humidity sensors

dmontanje · January 2017

I would like to measure the humidity in several place within our house. What would be the best and cheapest sensor to be controlled by my Homey?

Thanks, I've ordered one THGR810 to test.

This app supports a lot of cheap 433mhz sensors: https://github.com/nlrb/com.weather-sensors

I found this one while checking online and I hope you would find it useful https://www.amazon.ca/Honeywell-Digital-Humidity-Temperature-Indicator/dp/B0006TIEXK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1485754804&sr=8-5&keywords=humidity+sensor

I've received my THGR810 today but I'm unable to add this as a device. Does any one has experience?

Install Oregon App, wait couple hours/minutes for the signal and then try to create/find the device with the App.

A few weeks ago I orderd a Everspring Humidity sensor. It has Z-wave built-in. Install the Everspring app on your homey en connecting this device is simple.

I used it in the bathroom. When I take a shower, the humidity in the room changes. When this reach more than 60% the homey swtiches on the ventilation system from 1 to 2. When the humidity gets more then 75% it switches to 3. I used a Fibaro 2x1,5 kW switch to controll the ventilation system.

@viktor - I tried even over night but no new devices are found. I also noticed that the THGR810 is not listed as a device to choose when creating a new device.

Tryed with this App to: https://github.com/nlrb/com.weather-sensors ?

You must install it with CLI.

dmontanje · January 2017

No, not yet. I'd rather only use apps.

@dmontanje It's an app the only thing is the creator doesn't want to place it in de store

dmontanje · February 2017

@tim1990 is this fully supported by Athom?

MrDutchfighter · February 2017

In a kind of way it is fully supported. As in: you can install the app and your warranty still applies.

But as far as I know Homey doesn't support any apps developed by the community. So also not this app.

Briljant! Works like a charm! thank you all!

I haven't used such one, but this seems to be a great option to control humidity.. Thanks for the links..

Hi all, if the app above doesn't support your device then try this app instead: https://apps.athom.com/app/com.weather-sensors

It works with my THGR810.

Not the least expensive option, but I needed a motion sensor and a humidity sensor and the Aeotec Multisensor 6 was the least expensive option for me.
While I was researching humidity sensors I noticed that not all sensors provide the same feedback. For example some are battery powered and therefore only provide a certain reporting interval in minutes or minimum change in humidity. My Aeotec Multisensor is USB powered (when desired you can use a battery) and the change threshold is 1%. This works well in my flow to turn the humidifier on / off.
