This blueprints helps to save energy and water by reminding you about the shower time. This is done by blinking the light when you are showering longer than the shower time. Optional showering detection can be done by using a hygrostat after being triggered by the light switch.
- Shower detection by watching the hygrostat or hygrostatic ventilator to avoid blinking when not showering
- Configurable reminder blinks after the first blink
- You can set the average time between switching the light on and the moment the hygrostat or ventilator turns on.
Entities used
- switch for the light
Optional entities
- Hygrostat sensor (binary sensor turns on when the moist level is too high, often already used for the bathroom fan)
- Shower time helper (You could create a numeric helper for adjusting the maximum shower time from the UI)
