I made some pasta after work yesterday, and you can clearly see the humidity spike in the house when boiling the water. Gotta remember to turn the extraction hood on if I don’t want mold!
Why not wire the hood to an air sensor?
Most hoods are plugged into an outlet in the cabinet above it. Just pop a smart plug in there and leave the switch on the hood on.
That powers the light too, so I’d rather not lose that.
I may try, but I’m in an apartment and I’m not sure if I can pull it off without damaging the hood.
Add CO2 or pm 2.5, and you’ll really see when you cook. Boiling pasta doesn’t do much in my place, but my humidity ranges from 65-75%. (I prefer to watch the dewpoint, which is basically glued to 19°C all summer)
How nice to See someone with a clue about thermodynamics
The stove top extractors are especially important if you’ve got a gas cook top, those things are baaaaad for you :(
I’m in the market for air sensors (temp, humidity and quality etc). What are some good options for HA?
I just got 2 of the new Ikea ones. They have CO2, temp, humidity and pm 2.5 . Working flawless (apart from having wrong time) . Connected via Matter
Dont forget the mold indicator
I need to set that up, especially in the bathrooms.
