Generic Hygrostat and Average Humidity

[christopher_2]

I have two generic Hygrostats working correctly, so I can use the helper and make it work.

I have two separate systems at the moment. I would like to use an average of both sensors but I’m doing something wrong. Anybody have any ideas? I have several sensors I want to combine for an average to use as a whole house humidifier .

1. created a helper that’s called “sensor.two_humidity_sensors” That works and I can see an average number.

2. When I try to create a generic Hygrostat I can’t see that sensor to use it.

Copied sensor name and can’t find it in a search.

Would be more practical to post your code than some screenshots…
Does your avg sensor have
device_class: humidity
unit_of_measurement: “%”
configured?

Using the GUI functionality.

@christopher_2

sensor.two_humidity_sensors

this one…

When I search for that one I get

this is where I’m getting stuck or confused.

When I look at what’s available it’s not in there.

Make a template sensor for average with required parameters.
