Looks like this thread went unanswered:
I want to use the Generic Hygrostat instead of doing it in Node-Red like I’ve been doing for a while, but there’s no way to feed it an input boolean or something to disable it.
When I’m down in my basement it’s very loud, so I schedule it to be off when I’m likely down there.
Any way to handle that currently?
Thanks.
You could proxy it through a Template Switch instead of using the de/humidifier’s switch directly.
With this you have a fully templateable humidifier/dehumidifier:
However, doesn’t the generic hygrostat have an on/off state for you? it does for me:
This is the answer.
I didn’t see the On/Off control on the main card.
oh but I wonder what actions can set that?
humidifier.turn_on / humidifier.turn_off or homeassistant.turn_on / homeassistant.turn_off. The latter work on anything with on and off states.
I’ll give it a shot, thanks.
