Controlling humidifier

Routout · December 6, 2019, 3:50pm

I have humidifier plugged in Ikea Tradfri Plug and thinking whats best way to control it.
I could do simple automation to switch plug on or off in certain humidity, but is there more sophisticated way to do it?
For heating there is thermostat card. Anything similar for humidifier? Or can I use thermostat card for controlling humidity?

Humidity sensor and a power plug is still the best I’m aware of. Using automations based upon temperature + humidity in the room you can get as fancy or as simple as you want.

this is my take on it, or at least what works for me:
