Hi, my evaporative humidifier just broke and it is time for a new one. What I am looking for

  • no cloud/account needed, just local, zigbee, zwave, wifi you name it
  • easy integration with hass
  • easy to clean
  • low maintenance fees (filters and stuff)
  • big rooms 50sqm+ so that it has enough “ooompf” Any ideas highly appreciated

    Well, I didn’t do exactly that. lol. But same setup.

    I made my own humidity sensor with a DHT-11 connected to an ESP-8266 running ESPHome. I’m pretty sure it was automatically detected through the ESPHome integration, so that was one less .yml entry I had to maintain.

    But yeah, the other end of that was just a tasmota-flashed smart plug hooked to a dumb humidifier that I’d top off every day or so.
